Hi. Having repeated thoughts of contamination or dirt and cleaning repeatedly in response is suggestive of Obsessive compulsive disorder. It is a treatable condition. You should consult a psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated. Treatment with medications and psychotherapy in form of cognitive behavioural therapy will help you get better.

Next Steps

Seek a psychiatric consultation.
