> Problem is, “Take it to” usually means “beat badly.” i.e., “Clemson really took it to Alabama last night; they beat Bama 44-16.”

“Take it to the house” (which that suggestion is a riff on) is a football idiom, meaning to score a touchdown. It’s not connected to the phrase “taking it to [team x].” Either way, it doesn’t work although it would be great for a pickup football game made up of housekeepers.
