New York, July 26 - 'High School Musical' star Vanessa Hudgens has confessed that she is struggling to keep her new house clean and is spending all her spare time scrubbing her kitchen.

The actress recently moved into a new home and is beginning to realise how difficult she used to make life for her mother.

'There is a struggle to keep the place clean. I'm always in my kitchen scrubbing down the counters and doing the dishes. I understand how my mom feels now,' Imbd.com quoted her as saying.

Although Vanessa, who is dating her 'High School Musical' co-star Zac Efron, loves living alone, she admits it causes concern for her friends and family.

'I feel completely safe in my house but all my friends are scared for me. And of course I can tell my parents panic a little. The best thing about living alone is being able to have my friends come over whenever,' said the 20-year-old.

Vanessa bought her Tuscan-style California mansion for $2.75 million last year.

The six-bedroom property boasts hardwood and stone floors, six bathrooms and a swimming pool with spa, waterfalls and a barbeque island.
