I considered a maid but decided it wasn't for me. I was having a hard time finding someone I trusted to enter my house when I'm not there. Then if I did find someone, I figure the turnover for maids is pretty high so I'd be searching again a year later. A maid service is out. They are underpaid and being taken advantage of in too many cases for me to even consider it.
There is a Roomba that sanitizes floors exactly as you described it. It's called a Scooba. I'm getting one.
The bathroom you describe is pretty sweet. It's like the bat cave of bathrooms. I don't think my wife would go for it, plus we rent so that would likely tick off the landlord...but I have no idea why public bathrooms don't do this.

IIRC the toilet cubicles in London that descend into the ground have this sort of cleaning system, basically the toilet and wash hand basin are mounted in a "McWash" and the whole things gets jetted down and dried after use (I don't think it would be after every use, just perhaps once a day). Wet rooms would be perfect for this sort of concept.

- gcheong 16y agoI have a scooba and it works well for cleaning floors but seems kind of overkill unless you have a lot of floor to clean. Also I have gone through two sets of batteries as they tend to wear out if not used regularly and stored in the robot. There are some recommended procedures to extend the battery life though so ymmv.
