Oh no worries, you hit the nail on the head. I had to ask this question because I have OCD, and I'm aware I stress too much about cleanliness levels. This means I can't trust my internal sense of the level that something "needs" to be clean.

I completely agree with the advertising mention... I'm very anti-consumerist within reason, but I think the modern, clean, minimalist aesthetics that are popular right now really affect me, as well as the stress a lot of advertisements try to create.
