Who gives a shit if someone thinks you're a clean freak? Keep your home to your standards and no one else's.

You aren’t supposed to be home when the inspection happens.

They know what they're looking for and they know all the tricks. Your fake mess won't even register.

Isn't a home inspection when they're looking for actual home issues like leaks, physical issues, incorrectly installed things, etc, and not the fact that you left a shirt on the floor?
