How clean is your house kept?

[Orior]

I've up the following chart to grade cleaning category

	Event	Category of Clean
10.	When I come home	Same mess I left it in
9.	My college mate visits	I'm told to go hoover
8.	Her sister visits	Handheld hoover job that I bought her for Christmas
7.	A visit from her mother	Upstairs and downstairs hoovered
6.	A visit from my mother	Hoover upstairs and downstairs. Kitchen floor mopped
5.	Day before cleaning lady comes	Hoover upstairs, downstairs and tidy away clothes on floor
4.	President/Occupying Queen visit	Hoover downstairs
3.	Wife's female colleagues	Top to bottom root and branch clean
2.	First visit of son's girlfriend	Deep clean
1.	First visit of son's future mother-in-law	Deep clinical clean. Floors scrubbed. New towels, soap, toothpaste, blanket for dog's bed. Kitchen and hall mopped. Sofa cushions puffed up. Anyone who sits on the sofa or walks on the kitchen floor or hall floor risks death.

Never hoover. Nature abhors a vacuum.

Got a cleaner a few weeks ago.  Best £20 I spend in a week.  2hrs and the bathrooms are all cleaned, kitchen floor, living room.

Me too. How did my missus live before we got yer one.

Me too.... I have an economic argument in favour of it as well -

If you can earn more per hour than you have to pay someone per hour to clean your house, ie you earn €15 per hour and pay €10 per hour

(not even factoring in that they are quicker and better at it than you are),

then you are in fact, saving money! €15-€10 = €5!

Can't understand why anyone would hire someone to clean their house. Lazy f**kers the lot of ye if you ask me.
Unless your disabled in someway I don't see why anybody can't clean their own house.

We have a cleaner who comes once a week and I'd nearly swear the woman tidies up before she comes. I think shes borderline OCD

[Bingo]

I have a cleaner, she there alot of the time and does a decent job. Costs a fortune though, she goes by the name "wife"*.

* - please lads don't tell her I said that.

I am a house husband again as I am out of work again for the third time in 3 years    so it is my responsibility to keep the place clean!! And to feed the 3 boys, do the school runs and cook for ourselves as well! Hard bloody  work I tell ya,  hopefully I will pick something up soon enough as my head is starting to wreck! As regards the cleaning, I would mop the floors maybe every 2 days, hoover every other day, I don't mind doing the laundry  either but ironing is a killer! Then there are the lawns, painting and general DIY shit! Thereis a toilet leaking right where the pipe coming into the room meets the s bend! I have tried silicone but it is still leaking! All sensible tips are welcome!!

If you got involved in your local club St Bernadettes in Neilstown to the extent some of the posters here are involved you might need a cleaner. Far better though to watch Liverpool sitting on your couch than to be involved in the GAA and not need a cleaner.

So if your heavily involved in your local Gaa team you need a cleaner ?

Depends on your involvement - if you're with club and county seven nights a week you do.
