For those of you with a messy apartment (you know who you are), it could unfortunately be the culprit behind your date-less existence.

And we have the numbers to prove it.

Rent.com asked 1000 singles in America what their biggest turn-ons and turn-offs were when it came to seeing a date’s apartment for the very first time. What they found was that 67 percent of respondents thought “a nice apartment would make them more interested in a potential partner,” according to Forbes.

And to go even further, “78 percent of renters said ‘a dirty apartment’ was their biggest turn-off,” according to the study reported in Forbes.

So, what’s the lesson learned here? Well, if you’re planning on inviting a date back to your apartment this Valentine’s Day – you better give it a good scrub and swiffering, first.
