Would you happily invite someone inside your messy home?
It's a question that's got people talking after a woman asked her husband to tidy up before their cleaner arrived.
In a much-debate exchange shared online, the wife text her hubby: "Did you vacuum this morning?"
"No, why?" he questioned, to which she replied: "The cleaners are coming. I asked you to vacuum before they come."
The conversation then kicked up a notch as he confidently wrote: "What the f**k do we pay them for, if I have to clean prior to them coming?"
In his controversial post, the man added: "My dear wife is worried the cleaners are going to judge us!"
But the husband might not feel the same way for long, as several people sided with his wife when he shared their text chain to Reddit.
Defending her position, one person wrote: "I have a neighbour that has a cleaner, he says it forces him to tidy up a bit before hand, not clean per se, just put things away.
"Kind of makes sense."
"Honestly I get it. My house is at its best when I know I'll have guests round. Sounds like a cleaner is just a regularly scheduled guest so you've got something to clean for," a second replied.
But another thought: "I'd tidy up for the first few weeks then I'd probably let that slide in all honesty," and others struggled to see any logic behind such plans.
One reply read: "Nah you're right though why do people think like this." And a second commented: "Ok I understand basic tidying as you shouldn't leave a convoluted mess with stuff lying about but vacuuming is literally a service I would be expecting from the cleaners."
Elsewhere someone joked: "Amateur play. Should have said 'Yes I did' because there will be no evidence, and no argument. The cleaner will have vacuumed." Another quipped: "You should hire another cleaner for the pre cleaning."
