Exactly. Pay twice as much for inferior work so you can look at a woman in her underwear. Meh.

If it was someone along the lines of Calvin Trillin or Edwin Newman, then yes, I would be interested.

I would find it threatening and unpleasant (which isn’t a poll option…)

That’s probably one of these male/female differentiating things.

Basically, Hell no! GTF out of my house!

Are you sure you don’t want a strange naked man to come to your house with flammable chemicals? Because I’m free on tuesday.

You know, this thread would have been just perfect for **iampunha**

Eh, my housecleaning happens while I’m outside the house. I believe in a separation of tasks. My house cleaners clean my house and that’s all I’ll pay for.

I suppose OTOH if I had one of those “Hot Barista” shops on or near my usual routes of travel I could stop by for a mocha latte and my fix of babe-in-sexy-outfit-performing-service-sector-job every now and then. Won’t cost me as much as a housecleaning.

No way. First my wife would object. Second, I’ve never been into the French Maid fantasy. Third, it is bad enough cleaning the house for the cleaning lady, I don’t also want to clean myself.  
I feel the same way about secy pizza and sexy car washes.

If **Wesley Clark** is available to clean my home for free one day a week, he’s hired. For that price, I won’t fuss over what he wears and I can arrange my schedule for whatever day it is.

I’m male, and no. I don’t want strangers in my house, let alone naked ones. I’d be reluctant to hire any one to clean my house.

My mother’s housekeeper provides conversation, has a very definite personality, and will perform tasks including ironing or repainting the windows (not in the same week).

Now that’s be something I’d pay to witness (not on my own windows, though).

As for sexy housekeeping, no I don’t see the point. Any ogling needs I have would be met for free by parking myself on a street café chair or on a park bench in this fine weather, from time to time discreetly lifting my gaze up from my paper.

Any of those “look but don’t touch” sexy entertainments, like strippers or lap dances, or even Hooters, seem to me to be just frustration personified, and invite more trouble than they’re worth.

The ironing is just on regular clothing, sorry. Guess we could ask her to use a ton of starch…

So, is it iron the windows then repaint them the next week, or repaint the windows and iron them the next week?

It’s sand them on Tuesday and paint on Thursday, all very organized.

What the hell happened to him anyway?

As for the OP, no, I highly doubt I’d use such a service. I find the typical house cleaning service rather strange anyway, I have to do a lot of the cleaning first, if I’m going that far I might as well just finish the damn job.

Seems like there would be few things more awkward than following someone from room to room and watching them half-heartedly clean your mess. But I’m guessing the prospective clientele is well beyond feeling weird about that kind of thing…

If I were single, I might consider it, for the temporary illusion of having a domestic partner—especially if I were single and homebound for some reason.
