We both agree when things are getting too cluttered or needing a deep clean. We both generally agree that I'm supposed to do it, too, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772656 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:48:58 +0000 Bookish 772656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are a good cleaning team, I think. I like things a lot neater than he does (clutter bothers me, etc) but he is much better at deep cleaning things (he mops the floors really well, scrubs the bathrooms). Between the two of us we keep the house looking really nice, I think!</p> <p>@autumnlove: DH does this too! He will scrub the heck out of the kitchen and then ignore the sink. I don't get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772623 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:37:11 +0000 oliviaoblivia 772623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaning was a big issue for us. DH leaves his things all over and I am fairly tidy. He doesn't like cleaning and doesn't really have any cleaning skills so I used to have to show him how to do everything which would take ages and then he'd not follow through. Our cleaning woman has eliminated all of our cleaning conflicts. She's cheaper than marriage counselling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772622 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:37:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 772622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agree that whomever is the neater one and wants a higher standard of cleaning has to do the cleaning; luckily for me, that means my husband does pretty much all the cleaning, outside of the floor which I like to do </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772619 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:35:22 +0000 MrsTiz 772619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahaha</p> <p>no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772617 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:34:38 +0000 spaniellove 772617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agree that I'm kind of hopeless, haha. I like to keep our living areas clutter-free, but beware my piles of clothing in the bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772613 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:32:55 +0000 illumina 772613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH likes to get cleaning chores done as quickly as possible, so after say cleaning the bathroom if I notice he's missed an area I'll point it out and he'll reply something like "well, it's 95% done!" which to him means it's finished. I just end up going over a few bits, not a big deal I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772602 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:29:03 +0000 Anagram 772602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! Well...I'd say both of us have a pretty big tolerance for mess, but we have different things we are tolerant about. </p> <p>Like...I like to keep the kitchen and living room clean (never know when people will pop in), but I don't mind my clean laundry being all over the bedroom, lol. (like, on chairs and what-not), whereas hubby wierdly hangs up all his clothes immediately and prefers the bedroom more clean, but doesn't seem to notice his messes in the kitchen or living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772582 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:19:08 +0000 heffalump 772582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is much cleaner then I am. But he's learned that if he wants it done his way, he just has to do it himself. We have a cleaning lady every other week for the real cleaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772573 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:16:32 +0000 edelweiss 772573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hell no. at times this has been the #1 issue that we argue about. a cleaning service has made all the difference in the world, and i've actually let go a lot of my tidy/clean tendencies after LO arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772561 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:11:37 +0000 MediaNaranja 772561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a lot neater than I am, but I clean things better (in my opinion)....I just do it less often, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772552 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:00:39 +0000 mrs. 64 772552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is very neat and I am not. Pretty sure he thinks I'm a slob. On the other hand I am really clean and love to clean (dust, vacuum, sweep, etc.) and he never does this stuff. He never rinses out the food particles in the sink. Sometimes I think he is a slob. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772215 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:06:48 +0000 sera_87 772215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. we both agree it has to be done.<br /> Now WHEN and HOW OFTEN ..... that's a different matter entirely. Le sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772213 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:04:58 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 772213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: my husband does the same thing and it drives me up the wall. Luckily we agree that having a cleaning lady come in once every 3 weeks is for the best. I can keep things pretty tidy but the deep cleaning just doesn't happen as often as it should. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772211 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:04:09 +0000 bpcmarj 772211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing we fight about is cleaning. We are both messy, but it bothers him when things are that way, and doesn't bother me nearly as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772189 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:54:47 +0000 doodlepoodle 772189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not. Even. Close. He thinks dusting is 'a waste of time'. Apparently he thinks nobody notices...mmmmhmmmm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772114 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:30:16 +0000 .twist. 772114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, we are pretty much on the same page about how things get cleaned. He just cleans way more often than I do..... Hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-and-your-so-agree-about-cleaning#post-772109 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:29:07 +0000 autumnlove 772109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH gets the kitchen super clean but he always leaves food particles in the sink....so nasty! </p>
