Clean & tidy are two different things.
Tidy is a must for me, clean can be done quarterly.
I've had co- workers in the past that had to hunt for tools having never done either in 10 years +
One even had a resident spider.
Spiders make very good company and they're low maintenance.
Here is my newly set up workshop! We have just moved back to my dads so I claimed part of his garage!

Well to be fair, that's a proper workshop and this isn't Hello! Magazine. Might get a bit chilly in the winter though. Dennis.
That's just what I was thinking Dennis. We had a table at a craft fair on the Quay in Exeter today and called it a day at lunchtime as some of the others did too. Cold and blowing up for rain I think, glad to get home.
Yes I can feel the cold in there already! I will just have to layer up, there is a small heater I can pinch from the house too, its the only option I have at the moment so I'll just have to go with it!
Time for me to post some workshop pics too I think - this is the most organised and tidy the place has been, except for earlier in the year when I first straightened it all out and finally made places for (almost) everything lol!
Ta-daaaa!
All benches and shelves and such I cobbled together using scraps and stuff from freecycle/freegle, and a bunch of hardwood pallets a friend scavenged from work for me which make up the shelves at the back there for all the 'raw' spalted (and otherwise fascinating) pieces of wood I've collected over these last few years.
There's a fair bit of kit in there that you can't see too, including the 200psi 'heated' (up to 110 deg. C - controlled by a PID unit, no less) pressure pot for casting (and for stabilising the wood) that I put together, plus the pressure and/or vacuum pump for it that I also built, various cheap and cheerful power saws/router table etc. and 3 different chairs and a bicycle that between them take up most of the floor space, oh and a heater that I can't afford to run, both financially and for the sake of all the wood I don't want to split from the temp. and humidity changes! But still I call it 'home' even without a kettle heheheh...
Cheers folks ',;~}~
