Do women clean better than men?

Alex loves cleaning. He can clean the whole house in an hour if you let him, however, it wil never be as clean as I could get it. Course, it woud take me three hours to get where he got in one.

I was raised that we all had our share of household chores to do. I also watched my dad clean as often as my mom did as she was often in hospital so he took over the laundry, meals and cleaning. And he was the one to open and clean the cottage before summer holidays. Hubby on the other hand was raised that only women cleaned..it took a few lessons but he can clean as well or better than I can now. My sons were raised to do their fair share of the cleaning and my oldest had to teach his wife how to vacuum as in their household the mom did everything. I have to say with both parents working nowadays it's half and half and it seems to work out great. Men can lift the heavy furniture to clean under a lot better than we can and in half the time.

After reading through this thread again, I had to come back and say that WHEN Bruce cleans he does a great job! He is very thorough, more so than I am to be honest. He is like this with everything. When he does the yard, he does it ALL, trims the bushes, pulls weeds. And it seems to snowball. He could go out to do one thing and he's out there all day long!
So, the few times he has cleaned the house he did a great job. But the point is.........he doesn't do it. It's my "job".

I wish he was as good at cleaning the dishes though. It's so disgusting to pick up a dish sitting on the dish rack and see food particals still on it.
