My ex was always the tidy one in our relationship. I should hire him to come clean. Finding stuff put away by him wouldn't be any more difficult than finding things "put away" by the kids when I lean on them to help out around here. You'd think that because they live in a place they'd know where at least the kitchen stuff goes. Nope. And of course I don't realize a thing has been misplaced until I make a quick grab for it in a drawer or cupboard and find air.

I have a couple of friends who have done cleaning on the side from their regular employment, on evenings and weekends. It's a regular job, it helps pay the bills, and usually you can work with a couple of others to get the job done pretty quickly and companionably. Were I to take on that job, I'd be sure to get bonded.
