Depends on the motivation (or lack thereof) leading to the messiness.
Is the house messy because the owner does nothing?
Is the house messy because the owner does the wrong things? (Placing items into neat stacks but never practicing garbage collection)
Is the house messy because there are more people making messes than cleaning them up?
I'd have varying degrees of sympathy depending on the reason. But ultimately would probably just not visit the person in their home. Problem solved. (For me, anyway)
if you live alone and you don't care how it looks or how many dust bunnies are mating in the corners...
If you haven't cleaned your shower in a decade or more...
If people shudder when they look inside your fridge... Well, maybe they should stay out of your fridge. But i'm just saying...
Does that mean you're a person of poor character? Let's say you love kittens and puppies and donate to animal causes, are you still a reprobate because your home doesn't pass the white glove test?
I'm sincerely interested in this question: Is there a connection between being a slob and being a horrible human being?
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.
Sparkle is very good also.
In regard to Windex, a cleaning person I interviewed recently said he uses Windex on the bathroom and kitchen counters. I don’t think that would kill germs.
no to it making someone a bad person. I have an Aunt who doesn't clean. To her dusting is a trick since it comes right back. cleaning is time spent she could be reading. She does keep everything organized. Her husband doesn't care either.
My friend says we come from dust and return to dust... she doesn’t want to wipe up someone she might know.
No, there is no connection between being a slob and being a horrible person. However, slob could be symbolic such as messy hair is symbolic. It means that the person's problems are so great, that they can't even take care of their own belongings or brush their own hair. I would look to other causes such as distracted, over-scheduled, or even poor planning or time management.
It very much depends, some houses are so bad that children serves had to remove the children, feces everywhere, old dirty dishes, trash etc.. I wouldn’t call the good people. There
Are people who are clean who do to for other reasons as well.
It seems some people think I'm posing this question about me, so:
I'm not referring to myself in the OP. I have a beautiful, new-to-me home and I want to keep it that way. It is a lot of work. The grounds require substantial effort as well.
Does this make me a good person? Not in my opinion. Do I fantasize about getting housecleaning services as a Christmas gift? Oh hell yes.
I can't beleive you don't already have a service! It is Scottsdale after all. Did I get your location correct?
