I was really hoping this was more dirty in the Christina Aguilera sense

Have a chat with her🧐
Definitely have a conversation with her now. If you don't you're going to just let resentment fester until you snap and completely poison the relationship.
That said, be prepared to compromise. The fact is people have different views/standards for how to keep their living area, and your roommate isn't there to please you.

Get a housekeeper.

Some people are just gross. I was stuck with one for a year in my early twenties. It builds character.

Yea this is why I can’t have a roommate.
Have a conversation with her and establish some ground rules and boundaries. If you don’t want to confront her face to face then maybe send a kind email or text and offer to have a conversation with her when she’s available. That way you have everything in writing and you both have time to process your thoughts before speaking face to face. Hold your ground because when it comes to issues like cleanliness, that can really make or break your experience living with someone else. Good luck!
Are you both paying equal rent? If so, I’d ask for some time on the weekend and sit down and try to come up with a list of house boundaries or rules. Nothing too serious - you can even say “I want to make sure we are both comfortable while living here. I’d like the opportunity to hear anything that are deal-breakers for you.” Who knows, maybe you are doing something that also pisses her off?
But ultimately, I’d try to think of what the biggest issues are for you. You probably won’t get everything you want - pick your battles.
More practically about the food on the floor - get a roomba.
Also note I signed a lease on a place she already lived in so can’t help but feel like I’m in “her territory” although I’m obviously paying half the rent.

You are me, my roommate did all of these things & more. I tried to bring it up to her and bring up rotating every week who cleaned the apartment. She never cleaned her weeks so I gave up cleaning the whole apartment and only cleaned my stuff & room. It’s very frustrating but realistically they probably won’t start being clean so you just learn to live with it 💁🏽♀️ moving out soon so just counting down the days
Off with her head!
