I think all of us share a common feeling on cleaning - we like having a clean house, but have neither the time, nor energy to keep it super clean.
So I usually just do the basics. Wipe off the counters (with the tea-towel that I just used to wipe the dishes dry), empty the trash cans, scour the terlit when it is looking rough and wipe off the mirrors when I can't see through all the toothpaste speckles. However, sometimes it just hits me and I can not hold myself back from a thorough cleaning and the rush that it brings me to see my house all sweet smelling and clean.
That being said, I just mopped my floors for the first time in perhaps ... a year?... and let me just say that it feels damn near orgasmic.
I did a hardcore job too. I swept the floors, moved everything up, off the ground, stacked the chairs on top of the table and took all the rugs outside and shook them. The floors are gleaming and sparkly and seeing the murky, brown water run down the drain after I cleaned off the mop made the Anal Side of me shed a happy tear.

There was no mention of dog hair in this post. I don't see how that is possible.
luckily floors are the thing that bug me the least. if they were #1 on my 'gotta keep clean' list, i would be so effed since it is impossible to maintain that shit. i imagine having a dog might throw me over the edge though.
