On the surface, this seems like a pretty silly question to ask. However, throughout history it has been stated repeatedly, that "men can't clean." When thinking about this age-old idea, I decided to do some research on the Internet to see where it came from. I figured there must be tons of information on the origin of the statement, as well as overwhelming evidence to support the idea that "men can't clean."
Much to my surprise, I was unable to find any historical data to support the idea. I was, however, able to find a good deal of discussion on the issue. What I was able to determine was the answer to this question depends on who you ask.
After sifting through several chats and discussions on the issue, I had quite a laugh and figured I'd share some of the more entertaining information I found.
The responses to the question "can men clean?" were wide in nature, ranging from serious to comical and everything in between. Here we go with some of the best comments:
- "Okay, I don't think that all men can't clean properly. I know there are a select few that can. But why, oh why is it that men will sweep a pile and leave it, soak dishes but not wash them, stuff everything in a pile in the corner and then think they have cleaned the house? "
- "I'm not a man but I do have an idea. I think it's because subconsciously as moms we (and this is a general we, not a specific we) raise our sons to not be responsible for the same chores as we make our daughters."
- "Men, CAN'T clean properly because we just don't have the attention span for cleaning. Cleaning takes lots of attention."
- "because they're men :)"
- "because they do not need too"
- "We are just too lazy and we can live with our surroundings being like that."
One funny quote I saw was written by humorist Dave Barry. He says "The obvious and fair solution to the housework problem is to let men do the housework for, say, the next six thousand years, to even things up. The trouble is that men, over the years, have developed an inflated notion of the importance of everything they do, so that before long they would turn housework into just as much of a charade as business is now. They would hire secretaries and buy computers and fly off to housework conferences in Bermuda, but they'd never clean anything. "
All kidding aside, I will be the first to tell you that the answer to the question "can men clean?" is an overwhelming YES!Whether or not someone can clean, or do anything for that matter, simply depends on their willingness to do it.At Total Cleaning Plus, some of our best employees over the years have been men.Don't believe the idea that men can't clean, because they can!
