A single man's solution to house cleaning

I think that is a waste of money just to get by without cleaning. Does he leave the apartment dirty? If so does he have to pay a cleaning fee? if not I kinda feel bad for the people he is leasing from, no one likes people to move out and leave there places a mess because then they have to spend the money to have it cleaned.

Aw...I like clean homes, and clean toilets. I have a problem. My papa loves collecting all possible papers. I cant seem to make him sell those unnecessary papers and junk. So my house does have plenty to clean all the time. But I always promise myself that someday I will get that tape and tie dad to one of those chairs and clean it all up as I want to. :)

I think if you tackle on project of cleaning daily and you pick up after your self did dishes right away and stayed on a schedule a home can be maintain easily some times its pride of wanting a clean home other times its like maybe there is too much to do any way a women should not be stuck doing all the house work these days our lifes are busy too.

....Hi bird123, I have to say that I have never heard of anyone doing what your friend did. You were nice to help him each year, did he forfeit his deposit when he left each place? I would think that all he had to do, would be to hire a person to come in and clean his place once every two weeks, the place would have been fine. I wonder why he didn't do that. Women are usully better housekeepers than men, so the fact that he is a male is not so surprising. But some women don't like to clean and they will hire someone to do it for them, it is worth paying the money and the people usually do a good job if they are professional cleaners, Very interesting story and funny as well, his wife will have to get him started on helping with the housework unless she is nice enough to allow him a pass. Let's hope that it all works out for them. Cheers.

Hi bird: It seems like a funny story but I can't imagine how a person can live in a house without cleaning it for a whole year . Maybe it works for your friend but I can't see myself in this situation. Thanks for sharing this story with us. Have a nice day. ALVARO

Hahaha what a funny thing to do. Well that is a ncie idea for someone who has the resources to move out and relocate to a new area once in a while but the problem is how is he ever have the guts to stay in that house for a year without cleaning it, Oh my I don't want to lie down on that floors man , hahaha

Wow that to me doesnt sound like a good idea at all. Not only does he not get his deposit back his house is a pig style for an entire year. I just cant imagine that. It must be so digusting. As a friend I would want to help move their stuff but if it was truly that gross not being cleaned for a year I wouldnt want to step foot in that apartment. I feel bad for his wife if he is that much of a slob she will have her work cut out for her. My husband was a total slob as well. Once he moved out it was so much easier to keep the house clean.

That's ridiculous and lazy. He could have just hired someone to clean for him once a month and it would be less than moving expenses. How lazy can you get?

Sounds a great idea of solving house cleaning problem to me... I just wish, I can do the same, but there are not many vacant rooms to let in Bali, unless you count the villas and hotels...http://www.mylot.com/images/emotes/rofl.gif

Waaaaaaaaaah! Pretty messy guy! Well, I don't claim to be the most clean bachelor of the world but at least every once in a while I clean. When I want to focus, specially when I am writing, I don't want any distractions. And trashes would distract me if I could see one in my room. It's pretty inconvenient to live in a house that's all messed up. And it's not a good solution to be moving every now and then just to get rid the cleaning stuff. I am gross at times. But I do notice the mess, so I am compelled to clean every now and then. Plus moving from one place to the other is a lot more hassling than cleaning. No need to mention that it would also cost you even more (that's the case here in our country) you have to make, deposits and all. 2 months advance, one month rent deposit. So it's all costly and hassle, so I'd rather clean every now and then. If you're used to it, it would just then be part of the routine that you wouldn't even notice every time you do clean. :)

Hi Bird, if i were a single man like him, i would think that it was a perfect idea. But unfortunately i am a married woman, i would consider your friend's way of escaping from having to clean his house not so good. He loses his bond every-time because he leaves the house dirty which is a total waste of money. It doesn't take a changing house every single year to simply clean the house! But yes, now that he is married, he indeed is having a good life! he must learn from his hard working wife!
