When I was in elementary school we had to write up a family history report. Part of the report was supposed to be interviews with grandparents/great-grandparents. Our teacher was telling us that we’d be surprised at how hard they worked at our age.
I asked my great-grandmother how their pesach cleaning went. She said a few days before pesach her father would hire a crew of five people to clean their house for them. She didn’t have to do any of the work.
Based on how worn out I am from my cleaning right now I’d say we are certainly not making pesach too easy. Yes, there are a lot of products on the market today but most women these days work out of the house and have less outside help since help became far more expensive. Before Pesach most cleaning ladies will charge extra since they know they’ll have people desperate enough to take them whatever they charge.
