What changed? I doubt the cost of cleaners has gotten any cheaper. More disposable income? People getting increasingly grossed out with cleaning? Evolving social norms making it so middle class people are more comfortable with paying a stranger to clean up after them?

I remember I had one friend who lived in Hawkwood who had a house cleaner and I just couldn't fataing believe it. It felt like he had a butler as far as I was concerned. Up until then, I had no idea just normal people in Calgary had house cleaners. We're talking early to mid 90s here.
As for what changed? IDK, but I'm sure glad it did because they really are an accessible luxury for many dual-income households.
