OCD - what do you think of this one?

Question

We lived next door to ""WTF"" for 10 years.
- in the middle of a snow storm at 6:00 a.m. she cleaned the numbers on the front of her house.
- she would make her husband take all the decorative stones out of their garden and wash them bi-weekly.
- all windows in her house were washed at least once a week inside and out. Even in the winter. Her husband would have to dig out the basement windows to do this!
- once a week all the kitchen fixtures and appliances would be moved out and she would spend 3-4 hours on her hands and knees cleaning the floor tiles.
- both of her children spent the first four years of their lives in a playpen in the middle of the kitchen. At age 5 the one boy was still in diapers. The reason being that she would not let them 'dirty' the toilets.
- No one (her parents included) was allowed in their house. Entertaining was done on the back patio; the patio was subjected to repeated powerwashing.
- The smell of cleaning solvents would knock you backwards

that seems to be more obsessive cleaning or a phobia of germs. OCD Is more having to check things and unwanted thoughts and compulsions. She obviously cant stand dirt and is frightened what will happen if her or her family come into contact with it.
