How clean or dirty is your house right now?

My partner and I are in disagreement. My partner thinks that my standards of cleanliness are exceptionally high, and I think that my partner has exceptionally low standards.

So, how clean or dirty is your house right now? Would you be willing to post a photograph of your kitchen in the state that it is in right now?

My house is spiritually clean…

I’m liking the central washing machine, @HurdyGurdy19 — maybe they are unjustly relegated to utilities, and we should all place them centrally and dance round them etc.

Nope 😬

Immaculate as the cleaner has just been. Now it will slowly decline in tidy ness until next week…

We have low standards which do bother me, but with a chronically ill DH I can only do as much as I can. There's usually some washing up in the corner for a few days (most goes in the dishwasher but what can't...) And the house is too cluttered for my liking but not in a way that impacts use. But I'm working on it. I'm happy for friends to come over but would do a blitz before family.

I'm in a severe mh decline with ongoing chronic pain just now and I cry every 2 days about my house. The mess I'm living in and how I can't get out of it. And how sorry I at to ds he has to live like this too
There is clutter, clothes piles literally everywhere (albeit clean) even on the cooker, nothing has a place, ds is in a double bed with me with a KS mattress so overhangs, curtains all need washed, everything needs done from top to bottom tbh. Unreal how hard it is to manage when you can't see a way through

Decent but not my usual Monica clean standard as we are getting to grips with parenthood. It's been hard to lower my standards - tried and failed spectacularly to be superwoman 🦸. The garden is a total jungle as it has been neglected - about to see if I can get a local gardener in to tame it before the winter comes so we've got a fighting chance next spring 😬
