clean?

[markndannie]

i was reading the posts about the toilet facilities and just had to ask this question. My LP, when we go to a hotel, will not use the towels there cos they are "dirty". She always uses her little towel, refuses to sit on the toilet seat, and is afraid that the sheets etc are also dirty. She told me once someone used her towel and she had to give it away or throw it away. Wow what will it be like here in the USA...Anyone want to buy a washer and dryer cheap?

Sounds like my mother in law. She wipes off the seat of the bus before she'll sit down. I swear she must spend 5 hours a day cleaning her house. I have to restrain her from cleaning mine when she comes over.

OH boy, here we go again. My washer and dryer haven't been used since March 20--the day she got here. She says clothes must be kissed by the sub to be clean. The dishwasher is only used to sanitize dishes. And I'll not repeat my post about her mopping the carpets in my house.

 

You will get several humorous-but true-posts on this subject. If you think 100% clean is half clean enough--YOU ARE WRONG.

 

Me thinks the proverbial can of worms has been opened.

 

Good luck

If I remember correctly this was kind of fun topic last time around.

 

My wife is VERY clean, wait until she meets my mother. My mother never throws anything away and never puts any of those things away. God I love mother but she is a mess.

lol, i had not searched for the topic but we have a lot of newbies here and we all need to laugh. My wife told me her mom would wash her bed sheets if anyone even sat on them. I yelled at my son the other day for sitting on my bed with his dirty pants...Oh my God it must be rubbing off!!!

My lovely wife scolded me for the same thing

My wife gets disgusted with me if I leave my dirty laundry on the floor. "no clean!!!!" Other than that she doesn't seem to be the neat freak other men describe. Our house is clean but comfortable.

'Americanization' is getting a foothold and gaining ground on my wife.

 

When at first it was wet towels in the bathroom and hand washed clothing, she is now comfortable in using the washer/dryer.

She keeps a very clean house. The vacuum cleaner she calls the 'dustcatcher.'

So, what's the problem? Actually, Jingwen is not that extreme on some things, but is a fanatic about other things. There is definitely a can of worms floating around here somewhere. Please be careful when you open it.

Quan insists that underwear must be cleaned by hand as soon as possible after it has been worn. I've tried to convince her that putting it in the machine with soap and bleach on the hot cycle will completely sterilize it, but she will have nothing to do with it.

Oh Boy. The floor definititely falls into the "not clean" category, a major cause of grief on recent vist to Ying's house. The slippers are to be worn at all times. This should be easy, except at my house I am always barefoot. Any slipups were met with a very stern " wear slipper is very easy" Hey the floor was mopped everyday. I will never again make mistake resting the dust pan on the bed for a moment.

When I was in China last time, Jun and I stayed in an apartment she subletted for a month even though we only used it for a week (hey, it was still cheaper than 2 days in a hotel). Her parents came over, brought some necesseties, and some food. They also bought a pair of pants for me, so I went to the bedroom to try them on, and walked out of the bedroom without my slippers on. You would think I had walked out on fire with a dead raccoon on my head or something. Thus I learned... slippers are not optional, not even for a minute.
