I’ll never forget the time I came home from work to find that my German husband (boyfriend at the time) had deep cleaned my house. He dusted the ceiling fans, cleaned the tops of the kitchen cabinets, polished all of the faucets, and scrubbed my kitchen sink. Okay, sure, he had been home alone for the whole afternoon and got bored, but still. Until that moment, I thought I was a pretty decent housekeeper. I sure didn’t think so anymore after seeing what my house looked like after just four hours in the hands of a German! But what I’ve learned is that this heightened level of cleanliness is seen…
