I try my best to keep the things around clean and I like cleanliness. Well, it is good to keep the environment clean. I try to keep my city clean by contributing my efforts, my house and off course my room too. I don't shy even to clean my bath room ;) hihihi. How do you people do? Do you believe that cleanliness really matters in your life and how you try to contribute your efforts in all? Thanking you in anticipation for responses.

Cleaning - Couple cleaning house
I do a lot of organizing and cleaning up in my room, in my house, my place of work and my surroundings as a whole. I personally clean my room daily which includes dusting off the windows, lockers, computer and other effects. I'm also in charge in cleaning my own bathroom after taking my shower. Me and my niece take rotation in cleaning the whole house every 2 days while we do the maintenance of our lawn and garden once a week. Cleanliness really matters a lot to me since i believe that your personality is somehow reflected by the kind of environment or place you live in. Ways or contributions to make our place clean include proper waste management using garbage or trash bags. Old stuff like bottles, old newspapers, old batteries are to be properly disposed. Burning of rubber tires are discouraged because it releases a toxic soup of pollutants. Children are especially at risk. Hundreds of different toxic pollutants are created by burning tires as well as a tremendous number of small particles that settle deep in the lungs.

I do like to keep things as clean as I can. Sometimes my schedule gets really busy and it is hard to make time for cleaning when I am worn out, but I do what I can.

Yes I believe in cleanliness. I do not litter. I remember when going to school and stopping by the small grocery not far from home. I would get some candy to munch on while walking home. Then I would throw the rapper on the ground. Well after almost getting home I felt so guilty about littering I walked all the way back there and picked up the wrapper I threw down.

Well, I would like to add here that surely if people are living in house, they will disturb the cleanliness but it doesn't mean that one must give up due to the reason! I hope you will agree... Thanks for response.

i do believe it's important. at all times actually, i'm irritated when a place or corner i'm walking in is dirty. i think this made me OC to cleanliness. i don't want my things cluttered everywhere my room. my clothes and stuff are piled-up neatly in my drawers and cabinets. when i'm out travelling, wrappers of food that i ate are thrown in surely to the nearest trash bins.

Wash hands often, especially if you are around people who have colds. Here's a step-by-step: 1. Use warm water -- as hot as you can stand. 2. But avoid scalding yourself — touch the faucet to feel how hot it is, not the water. 3. Use anti-bacterial soap. 4. Wash the top of hands and between fingers. 5. Use a nail brush to get under the fingernails where germs could hide. 6. Use paper towels instead of cloth towels used by others. Use that towel to open the door before throwing it away.

I prefer clean areas as well. But my office and my garage are the messiest places around. I can't seem to put things away in a timely fashion when it comes to those two areas. I don't even park my car in the garage anymore as it's such a mess. Maybe the next time it rains I'll clean out my garage. Hahahaha!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

It does matters to everyone, having a clean sorrounding especially at your home is a good thing, to ensure your family to be in good health always, simple little things such as cleanliness makes our environment be maintained or preserved, we must put emphasis on the garbage we have in our backyard, we either decompose or recylce such things.

Cleanliness is one of the most important things in my life. I could not stand to see my house if it is dirty especially at the kitchen or the bathrooms. I simply could not stand people who do not appreciate cleanliness and always messing things up in the house.

I like to have things neat and orderly around me but I don't have to have it be picture perfect. I like for area around me to have a lived in look about them. I can't stand place to have a sterile look to them. Its one thing for a place to be clean but another to have it appear it were a hospital or a museum.

I try to keep as clean as I can within my time frame, i just don't have that much time so I neglect it sometimes. Cleanliness is important to me though, I make sure my family tries to stay clean and keep things neat.

yes, it matters, because it is very hard to move in a very unclean environment.

I hate cleaning the bathroom and always try to convince my husband to do it. I don't now why I do that, because he never cleans it the way I want it cleaned and I end up doing it myself anyways. :) If I had it my way, my house would be spotless all the time and my hubby and son would be never ever get it dirty. They would clean up after themselves. I think how you keep your house is a direct reflection of how you keep your life. Dirty house, disorganized and confusing life. Clean house, orgainized and fulfilling life. Just my two cents worth.

I'm not comfortable with my living conditions if my environment isn't clean. I'm not a freak about it, but I do straighten up every day, do my laundry every day and vacuum at least every week. My kitchens and bathrooms always must be clean as well.

I too want everything in my house to be clean. However, keeping everything clean regularly is not childs play. You need to put in a lot of hard work or money to have the work done by maids or servants. I hate dust. And cleanliness really matters to me.

Absolutely yes! Before, cleanliness did not matter to me. I didn't mind if my sorroundings was clean or not. But things will change. Things will evolve and so do I. For me now, cleanliness is next to godliness. Cleanliness is a great virtue.
