A cleaner! I don’t work per se’ as I am at home with new baby and toddler but baby is a Velcro baby so still demanding (and absolutely lovely). I follow the organised mum method and DH works 12 hour days but does a lot when he’s home too but a cleaner keeps us all sane.

Work from home so can do the odd job during the day. Usually a wash in the morning and then either hung up/put in dryer/put away at lunch. Everyone has an evening job - I cook, DH washes up, DS1 does bins and recycling/DS2 vacs the ground floor of the house. Then a fornightly cleaner. On the weeks when the cleaner isn't here I get the Henry hoover out and use each attachment in every room (I vaccum things like blinds, inside drawers, even inside the fridge!), DH or kids will wipe bathroom sinks and stick bleach down the loo. But really the answer is a cleaner.

I think this is a no-brainer.
If someone's away from home more, because of longer working hours, then they're not there to create mess...so surely it's easier to maintain?
As oppose to someone that is frequently indoors/eating at home and using the toilet more throughout the week.
