That rhetorical question captures the essence of the clean or cleaner discussions that can become dominate within ACL 5.2, i.e. clean freaks. The reason is simple; they can pay attention to and improve surface appearances. The problem can be that too clean all of the time annoys other people. The other problem can be the safety hazards in cleaning agents, which may be toxic fumes, poisons, or flammables.
Ordinary surface appearances that can be graded include wet, dry, soapy, slippery, sticky, gummy, greasy, shiny, matt, rough, smooth, bright, glaring, reflecting, transparent, opaque, even, and uneven. The person is apt to suit themselves when evaluating the graded effects they have produced.
The graded differences in surface appearances are evaluated by different individual and social standards, which can also vary and change. As a result, graded differences encounter customary community standards and social conflicts. Getting into the middle of these conflicts can make your head spin because there are so many ideas about right and wrong.
The truth is everybody has been there. An example is quick and fun. Just how much dust is collecting in your bedroom? Would your mother approve? What would your grandmother think? What would the neighbours say? The point is that the people we know and love have a range of flexible and rigid standards that can be hidden by general terms, e.g. housekeeping. Hiding behind general terms is like closing the bedroom door when your mother comes to visit. But what works with a visitor is less apt to work with the people that you live with.
Our involvement in cleaning conflicts is usually up close and personal, and the solutions must be too. Safe and effective solutions are specific, e.g. the dresser will be dusted every Saturday by removing all of the items and wiping the entire surface. The only items returned to the top of the dresser belong there. All other items will be put away on Saturday, before 4:00pm. As a procrastinator, I can guarantee that I would be putting them away at 3:50pm.
All joking aside, the specifics take the anger out of conflicts. The negotiations about the specifics within ACL 5.2 must be about surface appearances and time frames that the person can understand. Speaking the same language is only part of understanding. Your diplomatic skills include knowledge about what a person with a cognitive disability can understand about cause and effect connections and sensory cues, which is summarised by the person's ACL score.
