"How clean is your house?"
That's the name of the BBC America show that I'm watching. Unbelievable! So my question is: Are you neat or filthy? What's the worst thing (cleaning wise) about your house/apartment? How often do you clean the toilet, kitchen, etc. What is the cleaning chore you hate the most?

1. I'm watching it as well...
The one they're doing now isn't that bad, compared to others I've seen on there. This show is why I spent my day cleaning my house from top to bottom :D

We are relatively neat, house gets picked up every day, kitchen is cleaned every day. I really hate cleaning the toilet. x(

3. I'm amazed that you say that! I'm not a neat freak but I
would no more invite a TV crew into a pit like that...on one of these shows, there was a dead, mummified mouse in a kitchen drawer and about an inch of lard covering the stove. People really live this way???

6. People live like that.
I helped clean a house that looked worse then Clean House, the house is dirty again.

Some people like to live that way.


A lot of people just can't throw anything away, and everything gets dirty.

New shows are starting soon, I am sure the houses are worse.

5. I've always thought those houses were fixed up to look worse than they really are - to make a
bad impression on tv.

7. My house is pretty neat
And I keep it clean. I clean almost every week, including floors, change the sheets and towels once a week, and keep it tidy. I hate, hate, HATE cleaning the bathroom (all of it) and the kitchen floor and am seriously considering hiring someone to do those weekly. Dusting and vacuuming, I don't mind. But I hate scrubbing.

I am not that great about drawers; they are organized by what goes in them but can get kind of messy.
