DH started vacuuming & mopping when my chiropractor told me to stop doing those jobs. Chiro is a good friend, so he accepted that. I dusted when I thought of it - usually when I expected company. A year or so ago, he decided that he couldn't do it either, so we finally hired The Maids. They do a better job than either of us, and it's worth it to have a really clean house once a month. Makes it easier to wipe up spills and keep it neat the rest of the time.
