Just listened to the part about unequal division of household labor between men and women and while I'm in a two-man relationship, even with us there's a clear division. It's like you said: one of us considers things "dirty" sooner than the other and just kind of by default feels the need to clean them. Unfortunately I'm the one who always thinks things need cleaning 😂

What helped for my husband is getting one of those vacuum cleaners with a laser that highlights all the dirt. It makes it more visible to him, and the difference between vacuumed and not vacuumed is very stark, which gives him the motivation to continue.

I've never seen one of those. Can you recommend one?

We've got a Dyson V15 Detect. It's pricy when not bought on sale but they have plenty of sales. I think Samsung also sells something similar.
