Told with razor-sharp wit and an unfiltered, hypnotic voice, Clean Houses follows Sol. She is a progressive young woman obsessed with cleanliness who, upon becoming pregnant, hires two housekeepers to help her at home. Although having domestic workers should, in theory, make her life easier, it instead becomes a source of inner turmoil: she needs them, yet she wishes they didn't exist. Morally compelled to justify her privilege, she searches for a more "respectable" and creative job-one just as precarious as those of her girls. However, in a twist of irony, she finds herself secretly enjoying cleaning jobs and excelling at them.
The arrival of her baby further sharpens her dilemma: should she choose a job deemed "dignified" or one considered "humiliating"? As she wrestles with these choices, Sol is forced to confront her own prejudices and acknowledge how money and power dynamics shape her identity, relationships, and self-perception.
A brilliantly outrageous take on the contradictions of modern feminism, class awareness, and the social choreography of domestic labour.
