I pride myself on my clean house and my clean hygiene.
If you can’t take care of the essentials, how are you supposed to take care of a partner and children? I want my guests to feel safe and welcome when they stay in my home.
I couldn’t live with myself if one of them was grossed out by something I failed to clean. My old college roommate crashed at my house for a few days while he was passing through the area with his RV. He offered to simply stay in his RV with it parked in the car, but I encouraged him to stay in the house. I even cooked all of his meals for him, just because I enjoy doing that. It was nice hearing him compliment me on my clean house. Perhaps I’m a little neurotic, but I’d rather be clean than dirty. I had to find a new gym and fitness center because the locker room in my old one was always dirty. My new gym has a locker room that is constantly kept clean from one day to the next. It also doesn’t smell like mold in the locker room like it did at my old gym. I am happier working out in a gym that is owned by someone that prides themselves on cleanliness like I do. The steam rooms are clean as well, along with the weight room and the cardio stations. I’m happy to pay a little bit more every month on my membership fee if it means a cleaner fitness center to attend. With so many options for local gyms, there’s no sense in lowering one’s standards.
