Let’s face it, when it comes to cleaning, we all have our quirks. Some of us are meticulous paw-scrubbers, while others prefer the ‘nap over mess’ approach. But have you ever wondered what kind of cat you’d be based on your cleaning style?
In honour of International Cat Day, we’re matching cleaning personalities to cat types. Which one are you?
1. The Persian – The Perfectionist.
Every cushion fluffed, every surface gleaming, every candle lit just right. You believe a spotless home is a peaceful mind, and your cleaning routine would put even Marie Kondo to shame.
Signature move: Colour-coordinated storage bins.
Cleaning motto: “If I can see it, I clean it.”
2. The Ragdoll – The Relaxed Cleaner.
You’re not messy, you’re vibey. Cleaning happens… eventually. You’re the queen or king of controlled chaos, and as long as the bed’s made and there’s space to lie down, life’s good.
Signature move: Strategic piles.
Cleaning motto: “I’ll get to it after this nap.”
3. The Bengal – Think “Clean Zoomies”.
You’re high energy and hyper-focused — when the mood strikes. One minute you’re lounging, the next you’re deep-cleaning the grout and rearranging furniture. Cleaning is an event, and when it happens, it’s intense.
Signature move: Cleaning marathons set to loud music.
Cleaning motto: “All or nothing!”
4. The Sphynx – The Minimalist.
You keep your space clean because… well, there’s nothing in it. You don’t believe in clutter or unnecessary cleaning products. Your home is sleek, intentional, and impossible to mess up.
Signature move: Hidden storage heaven.
Cleaning motto: “Less stuff, less mess.”
5. The Tabby – The Team Player.
You’re balanced, practical, and not afraid to call for backup. Whether it’s tidying as you go or scheduling a Sweepsouth clean, you know when to DIY and when to delegate.
Signature move: Booking a cleaner right before guests arrive.
Cleaning motto: “Work smart, not hard.”
6. The Maine Coon – The Family Organiser.
You’re the heart of the household and the keeper of the chore chart. Whether it’s delegating tasks, wiping down counters mid-convo, or teaching little ones to tidy up, you keep the home running like clockwork.
Signature move: Turning cleanup time into a family activity.
Cleaning motto: “Teamwork makes the house work.”
7. The Siamese – The Multitasker.
Cleaning while on a call? Doing dishes while meal-prepping? That’s your superpower. You don’t have a set cleaning time — you weave it into your day like a graceful (yet slightly chaotic) dance.
Signature move: A podcast in your ears and a mop in your hand.
Cleaning motto: “Why clean later when you can clean while?”
So, which cat are you?
No matter your cleaning personality, there’s one thing all cats and humans agree on, a clean space feels purr-fect. Whether you’re a meticulous Persian or a nap-first Ragdoll, Sweepsouth is here to help make your home feel just right.
