I don’t want to clean my own house. Why would I want to clean anybody else’s house?

I do this but with work. I keep my work space cleaner than anything at home. It’s knowing for a fact that everyone can see it and judge me vs my home where it’s just me and the family.

Because maybe the pressure you apply to doing something for someone else exceeds what you do for yourself.

(Or I could just be speaking for myself here)

No no, I get you. I can happily spend 6 hours at work reorganizing and cleaning my workroom and storage but once I get home, managing the dishwasher is a Herculean effort.

I once spend half a day cleaning, reorganising and throwing out old stuff with a friend in her basement. Meanwhile I feel guilty for over a year because my basement is full of stuff I want to get rid off.

Or maybe the pressure of someone else potentially cleaning my place will actually get me to do it.

Not that I have weird stuff I don’t want people to know about. Not that I would say I do either. Or comment that I don’t have weird stuff because pointing it out would kind of say I have weird stuff. I don’t have weird stuff.

That and, at least for me, an overwhelming need for approval. If I help someone else clean their house, they might think I have my own shit together and I’m a considerate person. If I clean my own house, I’ll still hate myself.

I’d probably sign up for that if I could set a reminder to remember to set a reminder to remember to set a reminder…… ∞

I would have to relearn all my random junk heaps to find stuff.

That sounds like a disaster. All it will take is finding a single cool looking doodad and the entire cleaning crew will be occupied for hours

Cleaning crews are mostly one person unless you’re dealing with some large corporate facility. One ADHD person distracted by one interesting item in the space they’re cleaning and the whole thing goes down.

every room has only a finite number of cool doodads at any given time. the room will be cleaned eventually, it just might take a little longer. not to mention that the extra time will be spent discussing cool doodads and will thus be time well spent.

That’s assuming you can only spend a finite amount of time on each cool doodad and can’t switch between them.

you bring up a good point that my original comment blindly assumed the cleaner would be a mortal. if they are immortal and thus able to spend an infinite amount of time on each doodad, then we might be in some real trouble here. depending on how interesting the doodads are, there’s a chance the room will be occupied forever. the only solution i can think of would be to lure the cleaner out with increasingly cooler doodads, but this may be easier said than done.

Homeowner won’t be mad.

You found that cool doodad they put somewhere they wouldn’t forget months ago.

Yea, but that’d be worth it. We’d have found a cool doodad.

Makes me wonder what this doodad might be. Guess I should start googling cool doodads instead of finishing my status report…
