As myself and my Wife both work full time and long hours we have (or had) a house cleaner who visited every Thursday and cleaned for 4 hours. I personally was happy with her work for the money we we're paying £50 a week), but my Wife wasn't overly impressed so has decided to fire her.

Her new idea is that we're going to share the cleaning between us. I'm a man who's never really cleaned anything in his life, i can hoover and do basic things but generally cleaning isn't for me. Don't get me wrong i like things clean but i don't want to be the person doing it.

I've told my Wife that the last thing i want to do of a weekend or weeknight after staring at a computer screen all day is clean. It didn't go down too well.

I do however have a plan. I work from home 4 days a week so surely i could put the house cleaning costs through as a business expense and that way it doesn't come out of our salary, i don't have to do the cleaning and it means i can utilise the time to work on my business. I value 2/4 hours of time at more £12.50 an hour and I've got a plan anyway that within the next 12 months my Wife can leave her job and become a house Wife and she can clean to her hearts content!.

What do you guys and girls think on this?
