Nothing grandiose or elite about it, I have a housekeeper who comes in to clean once a week. She's quick, efficient, and does in 3 hours what it would take me days to do, so it's a bargain. Now she is seriously considering getting a housekeeper for her own home.
Why would my housekeeper want to hire a housekeeper? It's not laziness. It's just easier for a person who has no personal attachment to a place, and the things in it, to clean it! There is no rearranging because this might work better over there. There are no thoughts about when this should be replaced because it's worn out. There is no finding something you had been looking for so you drop the cleaning and go off to do what you wanted to do with it. It's just stuff you clean, and then you move on.
The other aspect of the problem is that when my housekeeper works all day cleaning other people's homes, and then goes back to her own home, it's depressing that HER home is not clean. She's been cleaning all day! Everything should be clean, and it's not! That's just a mean occupational hazard for a naturally clean person.
I have encouraged her to do what may seem silly to others – get a housekeeper!
