Apparently one thing that has contributed to more housework is better lighting. When indoor lighting was a fire and soot was everywhere, not a lot of time was spent cleaning up. Once it became oil, more cleaning was done, but you still couldn’t see as much dirt. Fast forward a few centuries and people have good quality lighting everywhere, so every bit of dirt is easily seen.
Still gotta sweep those (seriously)
I know, but I bet it would still seriously lower everyone’s standard for what it means to have a clean house

And now you see me putting a 300 lumen light at a low angle to the ground to see the dust while I broom it.
