my clean house/my clean home

[Aksinia]

Hello.

My clean house/my clean home

Is there any special different meaning between clean house/home when we speak about household chores?

Thank you.

Please give us a complete sentence to consider, in which you're not sure which one works.

I'll also add that the modifier clean is very probably irrelevant here. The question should concern the differences in meaning/use between house and home.

It is just a phrase, not a sentence.
When activity (cleaning) is completed, how can I say that my house/home is clean?
My clean house or my clean home?
I would like to use a phrase, not a sentence (My house/home is clean).

I think you're talking about cleaning your house (the building in which you live), so use 'clean house'.

Again, focus on the difference in meaning/use between 'house' and 'home'.

Should I say "my clean house" or "my clean home"?
I would like to use a phrase, not a sentence - "My house/home is clean".

Do you mean that you don't want to say "My house/home is clean", but you want to use a sentence that contains either "my clean house" or "my clean home"? If you want your English to make sense, you need to speak in sentences, not just short phrases.

Generally, "clean house" and "clean home" are often used interchangeably and don't carry significantly different meanings. Both phrases refer to the state of cleanliness in one's living space regarding household chores. It's more a matter of personal preference or regional language use. If there are specific nuances or cultural differences, forum members might provide additional insights based on their experiences.

I disagree slightly. It has nothing to do with household chores. It just means the place is clean. (You might have regular maid service.)

Your clean home radiates a serene ambiance, reflecting your meticulous care and attention to detail. The organized simplicity creates a haven of tranquility, where every corner speaks of harmony and order. It's a testament to your commitment to a peaceful and inviting living space.

Until 1998, I always lived in a house. I referred to it as house or home. I used the former word if I was thinking primarily of the building, the latter if I was thinking more of the place I lived in.

Since then, I have lived only in flats, and do not use the word house of the paces I have lived in.
