Mostly true, but there are some people who actually do like it. I don't like to clean but I don't dislike it, either. I'm the Switzerland of house cleaning.
Ironically, Windex isn't even very good at cleaning windows. A glass installer gave me the best tip ever: Glass Cleaner by Sprayway, in the blue top can.
good to know. I'll be replacing with something else.
My wife just came back from a visit to a cousins house. They have a completely restored farm house and are millionaires - antiques, a 100K kitchen, etc.
CRUD on everything...everywhere. Large dogs toileting inside the house. Amazing.
They are my relatives and they weren't brought up that way - one is a medical doctor and they are both highly educated. I think maybe they are trying too hard to be "Green Acres" and just can't keep up with all the stuff.
Being neat represents discipline, order, and stability. When I hear about messy people, I think of their lives as messy in some way, and I'm usually right.

Oh my. They are probably overwhelmed. They should be able to afford a cleaning person, or people. And a dog trainer.
I had a friend whose mother couldn't or wouldn't train the dogs, but also wouldn't pick up the poop in the house. I don't get it.
You know those news stories like the Turpins where they find malnourished children and animal feces all over the floors?
I think the adults in that household just learned to ignore the poop. Once you've learned to not notice your children starving to death, a bountiful harvest of dog turds is probably easy to tune out.

Mental issues. As messy as someone might be, if they are knowingly allowing excrement to remain in the living area, they have mental issues.
I remember the Osbournes reality show. Sharon's little dogs were always crapping on the floor of the mansion and Ozzy would be cleaning it up, muttering about how the Prince of Darkness shouldn't be reduced to this..
Dogs are not that hard to house train, barring mental or physical issues of the dog. Vast majority are very house trainable.

Me too.... at any given time my house needs dusted, floors swept (thank you long haired constantly shedding pooch!) and general cleaning....but I hate Clutter. Everything has a place that it belongs. You come into my house, you won't have to walk through a path or move stuff off the furniture to sit. I spend the first hour I'm awake every day going through each room and picking up the clutter....
