The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the prompt on cleanliness, was F.R.I.E.N.D.S.,an American television sitcom which aired from 1994 to 2004. Allow me to take a little detour and brief you a bit on the characters of the series.
There was Chandler, annoyingly and famously sarcastic, it was more like his strong suit or his defense. Then comes Joey, the dull-witted character and also the loyal friend.
Phoebe was just Phoebe, the weird one, Ross was the brains and the goofy one whiles Rachel was more of a mummy's and daddy’s girl from the city.
Now, to the very character, to whom I was making reference to cleanliness with, Monica Geller. Monica was notoriously known for being obsessed with cleanliness. If it is not done by her, or not done her way, then it is not Monica -Clean.
There are people who are cleaning- obsessed to the point of Monica’s level. Regardless of how well someone does it, it will never meet up to their expectations and you always find them cleaning.

What is my cleaning lifestyle?
Being the only female among my siblings, and also a second to the eldest sibling, chores and cleaning became a common duty as at the time I was old enough to assume domestic duties at home. There are basic cleaning activities such as doing dishes, sweeping and dusting which are more of everyday executions and the complex kinds like deep cleaning at home, mopping, scrubbing and washing among others, are done at reasonable intervals. I go about all cleaning activities in a relaxed form by not being obsessive.

Cleanliness and personal hygiene
Aside tidying and keeping your environment clean, personal hygiene is a necessary requirement for life and growth. It makes you live healthy, and it also reflects positively on your personality. If you keep your home clean and fail in your personal hygiene, it throws a shade on who you really are. Cleanliness should reflect both in your home and in your personal life too.

Cleanliness and productivity.
When you take good care of your environment and also your personal hygiene, it gives you sound mind, relaxes your brain to be proactive and productive in all your activities, even at your workplace as well. Imagine walking into a room full of people, and you reek of body odor, people tend to be covering their noses in a stylish manner or look for ways to not sit close to you, that alone would make you lose your composure and affect your activities. Being clean in all ways is a necessity.
I do clean, but in a more relaxed form, I do not ''Monica-clean.''
