JohnP if it doesn't deeply offend you (though I suspect from the tone of your former posts that it might) why not simply offer your experience and show up the usually unquestioned stereotype of women being sole housecleaners, as inaccurate?

I personally need the wisdom of experience provided by threads like these. I never learned to clean properly as a child or teenager as my mother said it was "easier to get on with it herself" - which in effect represented a form of laziness on her part as it is indeed more difficult to teach than to do - but I digress! So please do educate me on your cleaning routines. I don't care if your a gal or a mom or a man or a furry green ball from mars!
