your mom makes you clean allllll the time and your friends all say your house is really clean, and your house is the cleanest house you've ever been in and your mom always complains about the house being a pigsty and how nobody ever cleans?????????

Gee I thought maybe this was my daughter too LOL
She like things clean. Frankly its her home and her perogitive. Someday you will walk into a home that is filled with filth and be thankful that your mom taught you better habits.
In the meantime...I'm sure that it is trying for you but try to 'work with her'. Ask her nicely if the two of you can work out some type of routine or schedule for cleaning. Tell her that you want to help her and don't want her to feel over worked (mom's eat this stuff up you know and its all in the wording) but that you still want to have time for your friends too.
Maybe if you can get her to give you clear expectations and you meet what she is asking the two of you will be happier with the situation.

Parents are like that. I don't know why. Just keep cleaning like you do and ignore your mom when she complains. Don't be disrespectful to her, but you know you're awesome at keeping the house clean and your friends notice it, too. Take pride in that. Moms are supposed to rant and rave about the house being a pigsty. It's part of their job description. LOL!!

Tell her that she's pushing you to much even though that the house is really clean...Make your friends say "YOUR HOUSE IS REALLY CLEAN" in front of her...or say that you'd rather be studying or playing with friends rather than always cleaning and that the house is already clean enough for you to be able to do something else
Or ask her to pay you every time you clean, like a job with a small profit, like if you clean once on saturday and sunday ask her to givey ou like 2 bucks each time...
Hope that helps!! :]]]

There needs to be a meeting of the minds. Ask your mom specifically what is "clean" to her. So that way when you do what she expects, then the house "is clean". Maybe it's the clothes on the floor she doesn't like, or maybe it's the furniture not dusted. Who knows. But you need to find out what is her exact complaint.

sounds like your mom has OCD (obessive complusive disorder) I had neighbors that vaccummed their garage, yes that's right they vaccummed their garage. I thought that was so strange because a garage is supposed to be dirty.
I like the picture idea above, you can move out too that's a good option.
