    I sort of go on cleaning binges where I purge the place. I went pretty hardcore with it before Matt and Shauna came to stay (you guys best have noticed and appreciated that by the way) and was doing it for hours. Outside of rampages though I half-ass from the get go

    I have a small flat so "As long as it takes" isn't too bad for me. But I only get serious about cleaning up when people are coming over.

    I'm not quite a cleanbot, but I think I may be addicted to buying cleaning products. You can always find me in the cleaning aisle getting excited over a different type of bleach or obsessing of candles.

    I'm pretty relentless and I like a clean house, and I enjoy cleaning so eh XD I probably have 2 hours cleaning time a day. especially since getting my cat, little Cobi, I pretty much clean every day now!

    If people are coming round, I'll clean the entire house.

    I should probably mention that I share a house with others. If I was just picking up after myself only or my boyfriend alone, I'd probably clean a hell of a lot less. But no one really cleans so I sortof have to take that task on myself.

    And Cobi's an indoor cat, so I'm forever hoovering up after him XD

    I have a cleaning list I try and keep up with and it involves some cleaning every day, and some monthly cleaning. I tried to do a big clean before school which took hours but I hurt my back pretty badly. I've been lazy these past 2 weeks because exams and stuff though and today I have cakes to bake, but hopefully tomorrow I can get back on schedule.

    I don't really half-ass it, I'll just take a lot of breaks if I get tired of it

    Cleaning and tidying has gotten on top of us quite a lot since buying our house. Having a baby definitely doesn't help.

    Whenever there just seems too much to do I have this little phrase that I say to myself in my head "As long as I'm doing something... something is getting done". Then I just get stuff done. Take a mug back to the kitchen, Pick up some papers and put them in the drawer. Just little stuff. As long you keep going, you'll get it done!

    Breaks are a HUGE part of my cleaning repertoire. "Eh, I've been doing this for 10 mins., what's on TV?"
