I used to be a nutcase about cleaning the house every day, but I eventually realized that when I visit someone else, I don't notice if their kitchen floor's been waxed and all that stuff. So trust me, people don't notice when they come to visit you, either. Relax. There's a lot more important things in life than keeping an immaculate house.
