i have a touch of OCD. when i am aware of it i remind myself everything doesn't have to be perfect-absolutely clean- and also to slow down, in my case i am rushing to do the task when i don't have to. i do this with other tasks too and i find i need to relax my body and actions, slow down, to overcome this.
i like wolfsongs suggestions too.
