My sister told me tonight she skips spring cleaning. She just sets the house on fire, then everything gets a fresh coat of paint! 
Actually, they did have a house fire last fall and she's been giving ALL rooms a once over since, even those not damaged.
No one hurt, smoke alarms work!

If you position everything just right, you can also use the Bowflex as a catapult to get the clothes somewhere near the laundry room/hamper.

I am in charge of cleaning the vehicles, the garage, and the outside of the house. That includes mopping the garage floor.

After everything is said and done it has been a fairly "even joint effort" in making our house much smaller than it was twenty years ago when we moved in.
B-U-S-T-E-D!

Whenever my wife says we need to get rid of stuff, I just tell her we need a bigger house 
We have a lot of storage space, but we also have a lot of stuff, including a lot of stuff belonging to my in-laws. My MIL still has at least 100 gowns hanging in a closet in the attic.
They also have one corner of our basement filled with crap, including a baby blue wheelchair and three sets of wooden crutches, just to give you an idea. I don't even know what's hidden away in all the boxes.
I needed shelf space in the basement, so one day I went thru six shelves worth of my MIL's old papers. There were boxes of programs from functions dating back to the '70s. I kept one copy of each and threw away the rest. She never noticed.

. . . And at that we have the chores split. She does the inside of the house I do the outside.
Works for me.

I am very lazy when it comes to cleaning...and my condo gets dusty very fast, even with an electronic air filter. When I get fed up with looking at it, I dust and vacuum. The +1 is a very good cleaner (the U.S. Navy instilled that in him) and helps out, but he's not a cleaning fanatic, either. I get motivated when I'm having company!
