Does anyone here actually clean their own home?

Random topic, but talking with a bunch of people in my organization (including those who don't travel) and realized every single one of us has a cleaning person. Does anyone here NOT have one? Curious how prevalent that is.

Keep it clean but have a cleaner every 2 weeks to get what we miss.

We clean our own home, wash our own cars, and do all of our own yard work.

Wife stays at home and takes care of the house. I cook when I get home. I also do the heavier cleaning like the oven and grill etc.

We do pay for mobile detailers to come out monthly for the cars and also a doodle groomer.

Clean my own house, mow my own grass, clean and maintain my own vehicle (mostly). If I have the ability to do it myself, I do. My schedule is free enough to not justify the expense not to.

If you collect watches, having outside help clean your house could be problematic unless everything is at the bank. Never had cleaners but had a few sitters and a sweater or two vanished.

Does anyone here actually clean their own home?

So we have a cleaning lady that comes every Thursday, but the funny thing is that we always have to clean the house before the cleaning lady comes. But seriously, we just get rid of any clutter before she comes.

We have landscapers and a lawn service too.

The cleaning lady comes every other Monday. I also have a landscaper that cuts the lawn, trims the bushes, does fall/spring leaf cleanups and removes snow. I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Yes, but having my floors automatically vacuumed and mopped (it automatically empties the dust bin, changes the dirty mop water and even cleans the mop) is a BIG and convenient help.

The cleaning lady abandoned me two years ago after nearly two decades. My current DIY approach has been leading to mixed results at best.

Of course we do our own. How else would I get to see my lovely wife wearing her French Maid outfit?

Yep. Even family needs to give advance notice. I do not like uninvited visitors or strangers.

Similar story here. Wife is thinking about one for deep cleaning but we’re both not keen on strangers in the house.

Saying that we have cctv everywhere but who can be bothered to watch it or stalk someone just in case? Could spend the same time actually cleaning.
