Hi.. It is good to keep yourself and your home clean and healthy... I feel it is completely normal behaviour.. However if these thoughts have been continuous and recurrent requring you to keep cleaning all the day and is hampering your other daily work, then you may need help.. You can sort help from behavioural therapy..
