We kept our house as Mom used to say "Clean enough to be healthy, and dirty enough to be happy." My MIL house was a museum where the grandkids could not touch, or even stay (we always got a hotel). Sometimes Moderation is good. Yes, bearisgray I have been the original owner and hope when I donate it someone else appreciates it too.
LenaBeena, yes indeed. I think we have become overly concerned with how clean things are. Of course if someone is allergic or has a sensitivity, that is a different story, must be careful. I remember when my kids were little we didn't isolate them against germs. Diseases, yes, of course, but not just regular living. We didn't have Purell back then and somehow they grew up okay.
