What's your housekeeping "dirty little secret"?

I love a clean and orderly house. In fact, I get a little bit "twitchy" when things are cluttered and out of place.  Right now, it's my basement that is making me twitch.  My son and DIL are building a house and pretty much everything they own is waiting in my basement. I know it's temporary, and I love them enough to put up with it, but I have to admit that it weighs on my mind.

 

So, what's your housekeeping dirty little secret?

Would putting grease down the sink count? It's followed by a hot water rinse.

My back porch has been the repository of way too much junk. One of these days I will sort and discard.

I don't have a secret, unless for years I had the house professionally cleaned and the bed changed so I could have a life!!!

Gee, that's kind of harsh.  I clean my own house, but still have a life.

Re: What's your housekeeping "dirty little secret"?

I am getting new floors in my 2nd floor bedrooms at the end of the month.  I have all of my furniture from 4 bedrooms crammed into one bedroom including the contents of my closets.

 

I have clothes racks in my formal DR with all my clothes from my walk-in closet on it.  I cannot get into my bureaus and I am wearing clothes that are stored in a clothes basket.

 

My main bath is full of stuff too....including the tub.  We took out the carpet and my floors are sheet wood.  It is pretty bad.

 

My bedroom has my bed in it...and that is all. My floors will be a two day job....the worse is yet to come.  Once the bedroom floors are finished.we need to move everything out of the last bedroom so we can have a floor laid in there and we will have little time to do it. I am not looking forward to that.

 

I'll take me forever to get everything back into it's place.  I can't wait until this project is finished.  It is Chaos in my house.

@CoffeeNut   LOL.  

 

I'm sure she didn't mean to put down those of us who do our own housework.  It just came out that way.  Woman LOL
