Housekeeping in Space Housekeeping in Space Take out the trash. Wash the dishes. These are daily living skills parents teach their children. Twenty years ago, future astronauts had no idea that vacuuming would be part of their job.
Housework is housework even in space.
The way it is done may be different, but it still needs to be done. Cleaning a window is a common chore. While floating, cleaning it in space has to be done with a different approach. Astronauts do get one break. There are no washers or driers in space.
