Great. 
Hire, train, and manage the cleaning lady.

Tidy up and organize things before she comes each time too, so she can actually scrub, dust or clean surfaces areas and floors. [/quote]

You're just trying to convince yourself not to do it for some reason.

Here's how the hiring process went.

Me to neighbor who has cleaner: You like your cleaner? 
Them: Yes, here's their number.
Me: thanks

Me (texting cleaner): can you clean my house?
Cleaner: Yes, be there on Tuesday
Me: thanks

Here's how the training process went:

Me: So, yeah, the whole first floor, the basement playroom, upstairs but not the master bedroom.
Cleaner: Got it.

Here's how the managing goes:

Me: So here's a key, I'll venmo you when you're done.
Cleaner: Okay!

Here's how the decluttering process goes:

Me: Sorry we didnt' pick up more, is this okay?
Cleaner: this is great!

That's it. That's all. And frankly, the amount of hassle it would have to entail to be worse than the stress of spending my weeks irritated because me and the wife are too busy to clean up enough and my weekends feeling swamped because we can never catch up... would have to be really high.

Eh. I don’t think it’s quite that easy. Following that script makes me think your wife probably does it. 
Finding someone that’s really good is hard. We’ve had broken things and cleaners who rush through things. It takes a ton of prep to get the house ready (which is also one of the upsides is that it gets done). My cleaners don’t do the dishes, clean sheets needed to be layed out. I timed myself once and spent about four hours just getting the house in order (big family) for the cleaners. 
Having cleaners is helpful but it’s certainly not perfect.

Agree. op is naive and ignorant, hopefully he’s constantly thankful to his wife for her being on the ball all the time whilst he’s cluelessly posting here. [/quote]
