Dear Husband,

First off, know I love you.  However, we need to have a talk.  A talk about cleaning. 

Every time you mention how clean you are, or describe your cleaning style as superior to that of someone we know (mainly your brothers), I secretly giggle inside.  You may think your are clean, are in fact a good cleaner, but sadly, dear husband, your cleaning skills are slightly sub par. 

Example A - Grabbing all of the miscellaneous items scattered about our living room and and ceremoniously dumping them on our bed.  While this may, if fact, clean up the living room, it has now created a separate mess in our bedroom. 

Example B - Grabbing the dishes out of your car, and scattered about your office, and placing them in the sink.  Although we have a perfectly lovely dishwasher, this seems to be forgotten in your cleaning madness.  

Example C - Leaving dirty wet towels on the floor, thrown over doors, or thrown several feet shy of the hamper.

And, when we invite people over to our house, we will have to clean before they come over.  Choosing to rearrange every piece of furniture in your office during said cleaning, is probably not the best use of our time.  Especially when during this rearranging, your wife was able to clean the kitchen (including putting away dishes and sweeping/mopping the floor), scrub two bathrooms, put away two baskets full of laundry, run the sweeper in the entire downstairs and take the dog for a walk.  Let's just say that your cleaning priorities, and timing, are slightly different than mine.

For now, we'll just have to agree to disagree.  You'll have your version of cleaning, I'll have mine.

Hugs and kisses,
Your adoring wife
