Was wondering if anyone could help. I was just wondering if the fitbit calculated calories burned by doing things like 3 hours of cleaning or if I need to input it manually on my fitness pal.

    Your Fitbit will account for how much you moved around in that time. As it's a general activity, it really isn't exercise and shouldn't be logged.

    If 3 hrs of cleaning is her normal daily thing, I agree. If she's deep cleaning with wall and window washing, hand scrubbing floors and such, the it's perfectly legit to log that work! If I'm dripping sweat, it's exercise. Fitbit and mfp will work together to avoid double dipping so why not?
