WOW! I can only say that this is really true in my life. I am a compulsive cleaner, sanitizer, and scrubber. There has been no doubt in my mind that I have become anal retentive. The Thanksgiving holiday is an example. I was mopping my floor as people were still at my house and I expected my two year old niece to not walk on the wet floor.
After thinking about my nonsense I was creating, I stopped what I was doing and let my house get dirty until they had left the following day. It actually created a sense of urgency in me to get it clean the next day too. I am not sure why but there was almost a sense of insecurity of cleanliness is the only way I can explain it.

Question is, how do we stop the urges?
