I'll disagree with this - my wife and I both work 8-5 (and then some), which leaves us with the weekends for "free time" - lets say that's 8 hours for Saturday and Sunday - for a total of 16 hours.
If I can recover ~20% of my free time by paying for a cleaner - that's an easy call for me.
Besides, my definition of "clean" and those of my wife differ greatly. My efforts to 'clean' are considered substandard - so this defuses that marital grenade...
