Hrm.
If you've honestly sat down and talked w/ him about this straight up and were honest and didn't back down in the conversation (not attacking, him, but if he because hateful at all, don't back down) then I'd continue to clean the house the way YOU want to clean the house and ignore him when he cleans too.
I really wouldn't let him cleaning something here and there bother you. Even if you *just* cleaned it. Seriously. And if you are going to let that bother you, watch him. SEE how he cleans it and do it the same way as him next time if it isn't a way you don't mind doing it.
MY bf for 2 1/2 years was the same way when it came to the dishes and a few other things. He really appreciated it when I chatted him up in casual conversation while he was cleaning and the whole point of me doing so (besides being genuinely invested in what he had to say) was also to WATCH him clean and do it the same way he did the next time I cleaned. It didn't bother me in the slightest and I learned something new-it was more efficient to do it *his* way. Not the end of the world. And vice versus. There's some things I do that he's thought the same on. Just avoid butting heads. Something so simple isn't worth stressing over.
