clean freak
Compulsive neat person
A clean freak is someone obsessively devoted to cleanliness and tidiness, often to a degree others find excessive.
The term carries mild judgment—suggesting the person's standards go beyond reasonable hygiene into compulsion: My roommate is such a clean freak she vacuums twice a day.
Sometimes used self-deprecatingly: I'm a bit of a clean freak about my kitchen.
