In general. It could be more or less clean today for whatever reason, but how clean in general?

Mine's pretty clean, especially the kitchen. I don't mind having a computer case here or there in my room.

My work area is fairly messy with lots of hardware stuff lying about. I'm usually pretty busy with my work so even if I re-organised the mess, I'll have to take 'em all out again when the next batch of products (work) comes. I clean the rest of the house weekly.

With the exception of one closed off room (AKA my work & workout room) the house is pretty much spotless. The wife and I can't stand having a dirty, cluttered house.

My mum is very tidy around the house, she is always clean....I am generally quite tidy but my desk often has a layer of dust on it...that can extend over me if I stay still enough....but I have always been reasonable.

I have problems with cleanliness. When things are dirty or out or order I feel tense and uncomfortable. I have even been late to more than one semi-important thing because I had to stop and do something like wipe the water spots off the bathroom sink faucet before leaving the house. It's getting a little worse as I get older, but I figure if the end result of a disfunction is a clean environment it's not really that much of problem.

With having a wife that's ill and 9 cats we do our best. No rotting food or anything like that, but it would probably throw some of you into fits. ;)

I normally keep the place clean.. but i cant stand where we live atm because you can clean it spotless and an hr later it looks just as messy and a new layer of dust has covered the furniture so now ive taken a step back and i give up!

We have white tiled floors throughout the first floor, so we must use the broom fairly often.

In my house, the 2nd level is clean, downstairs not as clean, but not very dirty. Basement - just messy, we're finishing the basement so I guess it doesn't count...

I wish mine was clean. Roommate would eat a mango and leave the peel, pit, and knife on a newspaper on the coffee table.

Or leave rotting, uncooked chicken breasts in the kitchen.

Reasonably clean, but vacuuming is an almost endless chore due to having 3 cats (including a long-haired Persian mix who constantly sheds fur everywhere). Dishes pile up in the sink sometimes and the dining area table usually has papers and whatnot piled on it. It's not a complete mess by any means, though.

My house has no dirt, but is sometimes cluttered. Dirt and garbage is what bothers me most.

I have two pathetically lazy teenagers that I have decided to make their every waking moment a tormenting hell with my nagging about their slovenly ways, but it's not all that bad.
 

Mine is usually spotless. I vacuum once a week, clean the bathroom biweekly, and keep the kitchen clean at all times. I don't have a pic of the condo, but I've got a pic of my workspace: workspace.

Great minds think alike! ;)

I am, however, getting tired of cleaning up after my wife....

We're not total slobs, but the laundry tends to build up and there are always toys everywhere.
Having 3 small children tends to make picking up toys an impossible and almost endless task.
You can spend 2 hours picking everything up and later that day, it's a disaster again.

I'd hate to see what your keyboard looks like under a black light. :Q ;)

Ehh, no rotten food or anything. My room is a mess simply because I share the upstairs of our house with my two younger brothers. I have way too many computers and parts laying around but I wouldn't be happy without them:)

well i am a messy packrat live;and I alone,and don't mind some clutter,but

not too bad about doing the dishes,and i am good about washing my dirty clothes,but,the clean ones go into laundry baskets,and never do get folded put away.

I am very good about throwing out the garbage,and clean the toilet about once a month...

dont ask for pics,as i do not have a digital camera,yet.
