How come.....?
I love the way a super clean room (freshly washed walls, floors, windows, curtains, yadda yeadda) looks, feels and smell. So how come I don't clean more often?

:shrug:

2. Probably because it's a huge PITA.
I enjoy the results - don't care for the execution.

3. I'm with you here
For me there's a lot of my perfectionist tendency involved. If I don't have the time to do it all then I don't do it. I actually enjoy cleaning things and making them sparkle but I'm terribly disorganized and the clutter overwhelms me.

5. Welcome to my world.
It's a comfort to know I'm not alone. Actually - a week ago I tore apart my 'office' and laundry room.
Everything is now stacked in the extra bedroom and I'm overwhelmed at the idea of sorting through it all.
I did paint the laundry room and am in the midst of getting it put back together - but I know it's gonna take some time.
I'm such a hugh procrastinator.

Sigh.

:-(

6. Just did the kitchen
not painted, but washed EVERYTHING. My son helped. Got through it in 3.5 hours, not including the curtains that are now in the laundry and need to be washed, ironed and put back up.

It looks and smells amazing in there.

There was enough cat hair under my "server"... I almost thought I found another cat.

Did the living room last Monday.

4. I can't clean just a little -
if I get started I will clean the whole house. I'm a bit OCD that way.
