Restoring order to my own living space provides both soothing busy-work, and reinforces my sense of ownership and control over the space. If someone else cleans it, I will be timid about using the place they have to clean. It relates to larger ideas of ownership being composed of use approaching limits, maintenance of standards, and defense of boundaries. Maintaining the standards of cleanliness of a living space is part of owning the living space - along with approaching (and expanding) the the living space's limits for use & utility, and defending the boundaries of the living space.
