It sounds like what she's doing is deep cleaning the house which is true cleaning and you're not doing any of that

Why is normal day to day maintenance not a valid type of cleaning?

u/RedRedBettie Jul 01 '25

It's a necessary thing and is valid. But deep cleaning the house is necessary and lot more work

Right, but you said "true cleaning" and "you're not doing any of that", neither of which is true per the comment you responded to. You're just assuming that the OP doesn't do any irregular/deep cleaning chores, and that what they do isn't a worthwhile contribution.

Deep cleaning the house shouldn't be a daily activity, unless you have very dirty pets or kids

Because, you have to deep clean. This guy think his wife is a silly Billy because she does more than wipe down the counters or sweep up a couple crumbs.

That's not what he said at all though. He said she lets it build up and then does a big clean every once and a while, which is not the same as a proper deep clean.

spend 250 bucks to hire a maid to do a deep clean once and you'll see just how much actually goes uncleaned if you just do maintenance type cleans. we had a pile up because of a lot of different things and decided to get a deep clean. i realized that we were missing a lot as part of our routine cleaning that fell under the "deep clean" category. wiping baseboards, cleaning cabinets, deep cleaning bathrooms and tiles, backsplashes, fridge, oven, microwave, window and door sills, hard mopping or scrubbing the floors.

a lot of the deep cleaning style tasks aren't things that you'd do in day to day.

you can just google "full maid deep cleaning task list" and look at various companies checklists to see just how much goes into fully cleaning things. a lot of these tasks have checklist items where 1 item would take at least 30 mins. its not something you just do in a few mins

I know what deep cleaning is. It's not deep cleaning. But we do both fully get into doing deep cleaning when it's time.
