Cleaning if the house is not dirty

[Stormyweathr]

There is only me and my partner living at home and I keep a very tidy house. We clean as we go, dishes washed straight away, clothes washing done regular and everything in its place . people come the house and think I have ocd as it’s always tidy we don’t wear shoes inside etc

I watch all these cleaning videos on tiktok and see people doing daily cleans washing down cupboards with mops, scrubbing inside of cupboards that sort of stuff

my question is should I be doing this? If something is not dirty should I still be
cleaning it regularly like they do in the videos I am watching? Because the videos I watch none of the houses look massively dirty. I only actually mop floors and hoover once a week yet my family tell me I am OTT and ocd when they see my house

I probably clean my cupboards out once a year.

If you are happy with how you do things, then ignore the videos. And maybe educate your family on what OCD actually is. It is not the desire for a clean house.

Maybe stop watching TT!
Why would you clean something that’s already clean? Use some common sense…

If that is how you want to spend your free time. I presonally would like to do something else if it doesn't need it.

Life's too short OP!

You do understand that the people you are watching are making money with these videos? It's not real life, of course you'd do pointless things if you got rewarded financially.

People who do unnecessary cleaning either have OCD or nothing else to do.

I have never watched a cleaning video in my life.

No OP, you do not have to clean something that is already clean. Life's too bloody short for one thing.

If you find yourself copying things you see on TikTok, you’re either twelve or in serious trouble.

Seriously, OP, would you keep retrying your shoelaces although they weren’t unfastened?

They're doing it for content and because they're sponsored to use products in some cases. The sink is probably clean because they have already cleaned it 3 times making the video but it didn't look or sound right.
