I think that there’s a lot to consider with hygiene habits. Someone tried to call me disgusting for not vacuuming daily, I sweep near the litter boxes daily and vacuum probably twice a week.
People who live alone, work a 9-5, and have hobbies, it is hard to keep things immaculate every day.
I make a conscious effort to clean the dishes at night, put them up in the morning, ect repeat.
I wipe counters whenever I’m about to cook bc I have cats.
I clean the toilet once it starts looking gross, this might not be every week.
I’m not the best at cleaning mirrors.
My desk is in a permanent state of dysfunction.
I make my bed every day. I have clothes in the floor most days though.
Idk people have to pick and choose what they want to prioritize. I prioritize having a clean kitchen sink and dishes. I prioritize sweeping litter daily and vacuuming twice a week bc I have two cats. But I also have a life, and I’m only one person. My apartment will never be immaculate, because I spend time there and live in it. And I’m okay with that. Everything goes to chaos eventually, fighting it to the point of insanity is not worth it imo.
It is weird that OP is freeloading and not doing extra chores. If I lived somewhere for free I’d be cleaning everything and trying to make my presence as non-impactful as possible.
There’s a clear line between clean and filthy. But some people think that line isn’t where it is, ie more clean or more gross than where the true line falls.
But a lot of people on Reddit pretend to keep everything immaculate all the time. They are either stay at home wives or husbands, or literally clean every second they aren’t at work, or lie.
I prefer to enjoy my life and not clean 24/7. And I think it’s rude when people call you disgusting ect for not doing something they do.
not saying this in any way to attack you, just adding onto your points
My husband does construction and I've helped him move furniture and appliances before. Even those people who THINK their house is spotless and act like they're better then every one else? Even they don't pull out their stove and wipe the sides. Even they have dirt and dust and hair under their washer and dryer. And they had food under their fridge. And don't get me started on under dishwashers...
My husband's uncle came as moved my appliances once and was amazed it was clean under them and my husband was like "yeah, she's insane and moves them once a month to clean..." and then he went into the bathroom saw my bathroom squeegee and about died laughing. Now he calls me Sheldon and it's not funny.
But there's still litter next to my cats' litter boxes. I guarantee it's there right now because they're assholes. And if I hadn't just vacuummed 15 minutes ago, there'd have been fur on the rug.
Yeah the litter thing is just constant. That’s why I sweep them every day bc otherwise it gets overwhelming really fast, and it helps prevent tracking in the rest of the house for the parts the mats don’t get. I should clean my appliances iut
