Lean in shape guy available to clean your apartment in the nude or not. I’m comfortable either way. It’s up to you now. I’m a well traveled, hard working, friendly laid back guy who gets the job done and usually provides an extra smile. I have to be clear. I do get naked, but I do actually clean. I’m not offering any other services with this. Email me for pictures and rates. Thanks.M

I don’t get the whole naked cleaning thing. Maybe it’s a turn-on for some, but to me it sort of has “bad hygiene” written all over it. I’m thinking that the reason this guy wants to clean houses while in the buff is because he enjoys that sort of thing, if you get my drift. And if he really enjoys that sort of thing, well, it’ll be apparent. Would you want to watch someone in such an apparent state cleaning your home? I can assure you, I would not.

And what if … body parts…touch surfaces. Do I want to know what rubbed up against my kitchen table? Do I want this person making my bed? Do I even know where his feather duster has been?

I once worked at a place where a woman found a couple of short curlies on her desk. It turned out there was an after hours affair going on. Needless to say, this woman was scarred for life and refused to use that desk again. I don’t want to refuse to use my home again. No nude housekeepers for me.
