Neat and Clean Freak or Clutter Bug?

Do you consider yourself to be a neat freak or are you more of a clutter bug? For myself…I am a neat freak…hubby is a clutter bug so I have to constantly keep after him. I like everything to be neat, clean and organized. If I left him run the house…we would have paths and piles every where! Hence…I am the drill sergeant when it comes to everything within our home.

I also believe in giving our home a deep cleaning four times a year as the seasons change. When I say deep cleaning…I’m talking about cleaning out closets, reorganizing them, boxing up and giving away items we no longer need or use, cleaning the light fixtures, ceiling fans, give flooring a good overall scrubbing, wiping down baseboards, windows get shined up, the oven gets cleaned…all sorts of different things get cleaned up in and around the house.

For the outdoor projects I make a list for my husband to tackle. I like for our outdoor furniture to get a good cleaning, the barbecue grill, the swimming pool along with pool accessories, our flower beds, vegetable gardens, fence repairs, roofing issues, rain gutters get cleaned out, sewer drains get cleared, trees get trimmed, grass gets planted, etc. You know…all of those outdoor things that need to be cleaned!

Then there’s the automobiles. I keep my SUV neat and clean. While hubby’s truck often gets overloaded with junk. Grant ya, he uses it for work five days a week, but he still needs to get after it on a more consistent and often basis.
