So I make sure my house is always looking good and smelling fresh.&#8217; Lori, 37, prides herself on her clean and well-organized home that\u2019s always &#8216;company-ready&#8217;. Lori is disciplined about more than just caring for her home \u2013 she\u2019s also recently lost 95 lbs, and keeps fit with a regimen of healthy eating, power walking and yoga.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So not only is she a good housekeeper, she keeps herself fit and trim, too!<\/p>\n<p>Although all of the bios mention that the women have children and are busy, not a single one mentions a husband, partner, or other adult who might have some role in keeping a house clean. Or, for that matter, making the kids clean up after themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to an anonymous commenter on another post for bringing my attention to this one!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">NEW! <\/span><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/pzrservices.typepad.com\/vintageadvertising\/2009\/07\/vintage-ad-for-vinylplastic-tile-flooring.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This vintage ad<\/a> relates sweeping the floor to dancing&#8230; because cleaning vinyl-plastic tile flooring, unlike cleaning other kinds of floors, is a kick!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10994\" src=\"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/files\/2008\/04\/6a00d83451ccbc69e2011570fdce1f970c-400wi.jpg\" alt=\"6a00d83451ccbc69e2011570fdce1f970c-400wi\" width=\"360\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/files\/2008\/04\/6a00d83451ccbc69e2011570fdce1f970c-400wi.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/files\/2008\/04\/6a00d83451ccbc69e2011570fdce1f970c-400wi-221x300.jpg 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>An Anonymous Reader sent another example of the message that women absolutely love cleaning!\u00a0 The bucket reads, &#8220;What could be better than this?&#8221;\u00a0 I suppose it could be tongue-in-cheek, but I&#8217;m not getting that vibe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/files\/2008\/04\/P7270987.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-26266\" src=\"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/files\/2008\/04\/P7270987-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/files\/2008\/04\/P7270987-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thesocietypages.org\/socimages\/files\/2008\/04\/P7270987-500x374.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<span class=\"ft_signature\"><em>Gwen Sharp is an associate professor of sociology at Nevada State College.
