i love your strategic use of the word 'minimal' here!
my house is rarely clean for more than a couple of hours at a time when company comes over. With three large dogs, a cat, a farm, surrounded by farms constantly in harvest of one thing or another and construction going on in all three bathrooms, the deck and the kitchen...clean is a dirty word in my vocabulary.
I'm happy when
i'm clean. Screw the house.
