Who is Your Favorite Clean Freak?

Our mission is to serve our fellow clean freaks with not only the right cleaning tools, but also advice, insights, and laughs. Which is why we set out on a mission to find out who the world’s favorite clean freak is. We asked our CleanFreak.com Facebook fans to tell us who their favorite is and why. From fictional television characters to real life sanitation heroes, we received a variety of responses.

The data: A majority of our participants chose a fictional person, while the second largest choice was a family member. Here's the breakdown in the chart below, along with a few responses we received.

Sonya M. – “My 4 y/o son is my favorite clean freak! Every time I vacuum, he takes it from me and vacuums the floor for me! He happily cleans the playroom when asked to and is sure to put each toy in the correct bin. Hopefully he will always be like this!”

Anne H. – “My favorite clean freak is my daughter. Her spotless home is both sanitary and inviting. She's nailed a clean home without being pretentious.”

Our CleanFreak staff also participated in sharing their favorite clean freaks:

Ashley N. - "My favorite clean freak is Monica Geller. One of the funniest scenes is after Ross breaks up with his messy, hoarder girlfriend. Monica shows up to the woman’s apartment with cleaning supplies and says “I heard how dirty your apartment was and I couldn't sleep.” The woman slams the door on her, so she just starts cleaning the door."

Lisa M. – “Felix from the Odd Couple. He’s not only a clean freak, but he’s neurotic and I think everyone can relate to him at one point or another.”

Ashley B. – “David Rose from Schitt’s Creek on Netflix. He’s definitely a clean freak!”
