I just have a rule that I don’t let things be disgusting.
Some people who spend their entire waking hours cleaning believe exactly the same as you. They just have different thresholds of “disgusting”. My in-laws are like that. I’m much closer to you; where I can easily accept untidy, but not dirty.

My gf. She mops the floor nearly every week - and it’s always a 3 step thing of heavy cleaner, some other cleaner, then water - cleans the cooktop with water and soap after every use. Dunno if her ADHD has anything to do with that
I’m also very much organized chaos. My wife will “helpfully” put things “where they go”. She hasn’t yet (in nearly 20 years…) figured out that if it’s mine “where it goes” is “where I put it”. I’m generally consistent with where I put things, but there’s little reason to any particular place for things.

Yeah exactly. I dont allow visible dirtyness basically. So some dust, whatever. Actual dirt or mud or food crumbs? Yeah I’ll clean that.
3 dishes in sink? Its fine. 20 dishes and sink is full? Yes we need to do dishes.
It also depends on the area. I clean my kitchen more than the basement.

Once a week floor cleaning and washing up kitchen surfaces after use are really, really normal levels of cleaning.
Like yeah, the floors could probably go longer than that, but not by much.
If you don’t wear outside shoes in the house then you can go quite a bit longer.
That’s just unheard of where I live… I still have a hard time believing American TV when people don’t take off shoes entering a house.
Yeah never going back
Depends on how many people are in the home as well.
Once a week or two for me before I got my labrador retriever.
Now once or twice a day vacuum and mop of the floor by the robo cleaner 😅
Would never do it that often if I had to do by hand.

you say that like it’s a bad thing… man I guess some people simply can’t enjoy the little things in life
