neatnik
Compulsively tidy person
A neatnik is someone excessively devoted to cleanliness and order—the kind of person who alphabetizes their spice rack and can't relax with dishes in the sink.
The word playfully echoes beatnik and sputnik, using the -nik suffix to suggest an enthusiast or devotee: My roommate is such a neatnik that she vacuums daily.
