That looks like a lot of work, probably 1 full day per week (probably more) to:
- vacuum everything (including the skirting boards)
- mop the floors
- dust everything else
- clean all the windows
- change/wash/dry the linens/towels
- clean the kitchen
- clean the toilets
- it took maybe an hour to take care of the hardwood.
- having a larger house doesn’t mean you have more to wash. How much you have to wash is a function of how many people live there.
- you would have a kitchen either way
- one bathroom only got used when guests come, one was our sons (and his responsibility). That left only two - the one in attached to our room and the half bath.
The gym got sanitized with everything being wiped down and air freshener after every use.
I'm fairly sure your kitchen in the 360sqm house is bigger than my kitchen in the 90 sqm apartment :-)
My house is mostly wood floors but I maybe Swiffer and vacuum once a week (probably a lot less) for about 15-20 minutes. I run Roomba once or twice a week to take care of the rest.
> mop the floors
I can count on one hand how many times I mop floors per year in any size house.
> dust everything else
I definitely don't do the blinds/baseboards/etc enough. Wife usually does the furniture once a week and the rest is on demand.
> clean all the windows
Only when I get a wild hair.
> change/wash/dry the linens/towels
Size of house doesn't change this. See above.
> clean the kitchen
Still only one kitchen.
> clean the toilets
Same number of people
I just mentioned it.
1. Master bedroom
2. Son’s bedroom
3. Gym with three pieces of cardio equipment and weights
4. Office
5. Guest bedroom
The 6th room was a dance studio for my wife. She taught online fitness classes during Covid.
It’s not like we paid millions of dollars. I qualified for it when I was only making $115K and put 3.5% down - less than $12K. In 2016.
It’s now worth twice that (we rent it out to our son and two of his friends at a discount).
My wife and I have since moved to a condo in a resort area where one fee ($650) pays all utilities, access to a decent gym, 3 pools, a running trail, three restaurants on site and a lake. It’s the same price that our house was in 2016.
