I love her to bits but.......
..... She's very clean my missus. House is clean, she's clean, hates it when her car gets dirty etc. But there's just two things! The kitchen worktop can be a bit of a mess after cooking dinner and so on, so she'll grab the dishcloth that usually sits in the washing up bowl and dunk it in the water that's in the bowl. Now that water is usally there after I've washed up and is just sitting in there in between me deciding that there's more washing up to be done, or deciding to tip it away.
So, she dunks the cloth in to the old dishwater, often flecked with bits of rinsed off food, grease oli etc. and then wipes said dodgy watery cloth all over the worktop, spreading it all around, and pronounces "that's better"!
Another thing...... when she decides all the shoes need polishing, including the 17 year old boy's shoes who is capable of treading in anything nasty like it's a magnet!.... Dog shit, rotting takeaway etc. where does she do it? On the kitchen worktop where we prepare the food of course, none of the other tables in the house seem adequate to her for some reason?
I just cannot get the logic across to her! But then she's a woman, and I'm a guy, so what's the point?

Mr Gstermum also does this (using dirty water to clean the surfaces)
It is disgusting. I then have to properly clean it with proper cleaning fluid and a fresh cloth! Urgh!
