I love a clean house. I just can't stand to have stuf around. Some people call my house antiseptic. I love to clean so much that my side job for 2005 will be to clean houses for other people. I used to look a house cleaning as a necessary evil, but I've learned just what the original poster said. Cutting down on dust, changing the sheets on the bed regularly, swapping out the towels, dishclothes regularly cuts down tremendously on germs which can lead to colds and the flu.

One other tip I didn't see mentioned is to spray your mattress with lysol when you change your sheets, and if you can stand it, spray your pillows as well. I'm a big germ killer.
