This chapter introduces the central argument of the book through a discussion of how the research respondents conceptualised paid-for domestic cleaning in terms of the structure of cleaning work and whether anyone can do cleaning for a living. The chapter proposes that depending on the conditions of work, cleaning can be done as work, that is, using mental and manual skills and effort and performed under decent, democratic work conditions, or as labour, that is, requiring mainly manual labour, accompanied by exertion of ‘natural’ emotional/affective labour and performed in undemocratic conditions. Good paid-for cleaning work is also not simply a replacement of unpaid housework that can be done by anyone; it entails much learning and continued commitment anddoes not come ‘naturally’ to women.

This chapter locatespaid-for housecleaning within the wider world of paid and unpaid work.With regard to the UK, this draws on the previous work experiencesof the research respondents, and their reasons for preferring self-employmentor undeclared work and selectively using established goodbusiness practices. In India, there was a lack of work experience inother industries, and the accounts highlight the intersectional impactsof ‘men’s work’, patriarchy and desire for education on the investmentby the respondents in their work and its meanings for them. Together,these analyses show that domestic work is not inherently ‘dead-end’ – theworking conditions make a significant difference to how work is perceivedand experienced. Finally, the respondents’ classed (and casteised) understandings of thework in two cultures indicate that the problem with paid domestic labouris not commodification per se, but the way the work itself – and workmore generally – has been commodified.
