We are the way we are because we're suppose to be this way. Isn't it nice to know that it's not all your fault. There is nothing wrong with you. I found some information pertaining to your Sun sign and your approach to housekeeping. Now maybe we can lighten up on our significant others for not doing things the way we think it should be done.
Baby, we are born this way!
The neat freak you ask? Read on and see for yourself who bears the title.
Aries is the sign of new beginnings. They are aggressive and full of energy. They usually complete tasks in half the time it takes others. Arians are also impatient and may not finish that big project they started. This leaves you to finish.
Taurus is the sign of purposeful determination and power. They hold dear the good things in life and focus attention on material possessions. The problem with this is there's always a lot more to clean. Do not argue with a Taurus. They have their own way of doing things. You'll just have to clean around them.
Gemini thinks and acts quickly. Since they like to study, they'll be much happier reading about cleaning, than actually doing it. A Gemini finds housekeeping boring because they like variety. Expect the unexpected with this one.
Cancer is strongly linked to being domestic and homemaking. Cancers have a need for security and like the idea of a happy and clean home. Cleanliness is a characteristic. And they don't like being told how to do things. Let them do it their way and you won't be sorry.
Leos are generous and enjoy being the center of attention. They dislike repetition and housecleaning is just that. Give them space and let them lead because they like to be in charge. The house may not be as clean as you would like it to be, but your relationship won't suffer.
Virgos are the ones to make order out of chaos. Yes, Virgos are the neat freaks. They are meticulous in their work. They pay attention to details and do chores efficiently. If you are an Air sign, look for a Virgo to love. They will insist on doing the dishes and washing the floors.
Libras initiate activities because they are concerned with the present. At the same time you're thinking you'll sleep late, a Libra is probably thinking how fun it would be to clean out a closet. alone. A Libra will expect you to work hard right along with them.
Scorpios possess power, will, and intense emotional desires. Sometimes they're unable to delegate responsibility because of their desire to do everything perfectly.They might overwork themselves or they might aim frustrations toward someone that was willing to help but never asked. Most would rather not perform such mundane work, but if they think housecleaning is important they will do it and do it well.
Sagittarians love their freedom and independence. Don't make them feel housebound. They really don't like domestic tasks. Sagittarians do not have a subtle approach to life, they jump right in. If they can get the cleaning over quickly, so much the better. A cleaning person or service might be a better idea.
Capricorns are steady and surefooted. They like to work hard and have a good knowledge of practical affairs. Capricorns like to manage a household with precision and are methodical in their work. Let them take care of things. Help if you can, but don't worry, they can do it better.
Aquarians have an eccentric temperament. They would rather depend on the company of others for security than the environment. They will be tireless workers if you can get them excited about cleaning. If not, they are best at watching you work and keeping you amused.
Pisces desperately want to do the right thing, but lack willpower. They want to wash the windows, but if something better comes their way, the windows will get put aside. Lots of Pisces are actors, artists or dancers. Not too many of them are in the housekeeping business. But hey, they can sing to you while you sweep.
Experts suggest skipping the lung irritants that only mask smells and disguise themselves as a fancy brand-name freshener. But, they're usually the cheapest choice on the shelf and sometimes a quick burst of scent is all you need. Find a product that kills the odor causing bacteria as well as gives a burst of smell good and you'll get your money's worth.
Control cooking odors as you are cooking. Boil 1/4 cup vinegar per 1 quart (1 liter works too) of water in a saucepan on the stove. The rising heat carries odor neutralizing vinegar to the same surfaces that the smoke and grease have landed on. This is one tip I can not wait to try.
Funky carpet funk is no fun. Shake baking soda on the stain or entire carpet if needed. Let the baking soda stay on the carpet over night. Next day vacuum up. Repeat if necessary.
Buy some fine activated charcoal in the aquarium supply section at the store. Spread some in a shallow pan and put on a shelf in the fridge or freezer. The charcoal is safe around food. After about 8 hours the charcoal can be reactivated in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. You can reuse the charcoal many times by reactivating it. In a pinch, you can use cat litter.
We all know about keeping a box of baking soda in there for odor busting maintenance. Another product easy enough to acquire but not nearly as cheap as the baking soda. I am talking about fresh coffee grounds. Not the wet grounds left in the filter, silly.
