Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning!

I wash my hands frequently after I go to the bathroom or after eating a meal for health reasons.

@albain I clean stuff as often as I’m told to.

I would think so.

Oh dear that seems very serious..wow that is not only OCD..beyond that. What a way to live is right. I do obsess a bit but not to that extent no way. Washing hands a lot here but not too many times.

That poor lady has a problem. I do a little cleaning every day but not the same thing over and over again.

I too wash my hands and dust my furniture and my maid cleans my house everyday. It's no psychological problem.

There is a schedule the maid follows and I see everything around spotlessly clean but no nothing is over done. I do wash hands more often than before the pandemic.

I clean my house every day and do a real good job once a week.

I often wash my hands, ever time I pet a cat I wash my hands, it's not a OCD, but cats use their tongue to wash themselves and they use their tongue EVERYWHERE on their body. I do not see the need to dust and vacuum every day.

That would be awful to feel that way.

This reminds me of the movie As Good As It Gets. One of my brothers came to my house, petted one of the fur kids, washed his hands, petted the fur person, washed his hands and in not too long a time, quit washing his hands cause the kids weren't going anywhere.

Washing hands - often. Before preparing food, before eating, after eating (if there's anything greasy or sticky), after handling any animals or animal-related items (like bird feeders), after the toilet of course, whenever I come home from shops or any other public place. So dozens of times a day. Vacuuming - I hate this so much, it makes me so angry that my partner volunteered to do it years ago. However I'm lucky if he does it once a month and then mainly the carpet in the middle of the room! Other cleaning - well I'm not fond of housework so I try to minimise the dirt in the first place by cleaning it up before it can get spread around! Kitchen gets wiped over after any food prep or clearing up. Bathroom gets wiped around most days, when I'm in there. Kitchen floor gets wiped over at least once a day. Hallway gets swept or cleaned up with a mechanical carpet sweeper before pine needles, leaves, dried mud etc can get tracked to any other part of the house. Other polishing furniture, cleaning windows and the like - maybe once a year.

My husband often says that I have some sort of undiagnosed OCD. I am cleanliness freak and I love to have a clean home. I have a cleaning schedule but I don't get stressed or overworked if I am not able to stick to that schedule. I often take a break from cleaning to enjoy. This clearly sounds like a big stress to live with. She needs help.

I wash my hands and clean my apartment quite frequently but surely not to the extent of that lady. I think she has obsession.
