Merry Maids regularly does surveys of families on the topic of cleaning, but there seems to be a dispute between moms and dads as to who actually does the scrubbing.
In May 2017, moms were interviewed for Mothers Day and 85 percent said they clean the house.
On the other hand, 34 percent of moms said hiring someone to help clean was a necessity.
But by June 2017, another Merry Maids survey found that nearly half of dads said they clean the house.
Maybe moms are hiring the dads?
