> You are in the minority ... 41% of households use recurring cleaning services ... Wouldn't that put OP in the majority?

  If 41% of households are actively employing a cleaner then it seems very likely that more than 50% would be happy to have their home cleaned if only they could afford it (as opposed to the commenter starting this thread, who seems to see household cleaning as a positive part of their life).

    How big of a bubble do you have to be in to be thinking "I like cleaning" is the majority position among normal people?

      Is it “I like cleaning”, or “I benefit from knowing some moron didn’t come flood the cracks of my floors and wood cabinetry, creating mold”? Yet to come across pros doing it better than me, means I don’t hire pros yet.

        > Is it “I like cleaning” Yes, that really is what was said in the original comment we're discussing. Somehow that got defended as a (possible) majority view.
