I can understand your difficulty. Most of us will be very particular about cleanliness which does not mean we have OCD. As you have pointed out that the above concern is affecting your life, its the time you need to seek the help of a Psychiatrist. It would help you as you would be examined in detail and you can discuss the possible diagnosis and remedy.
