Best way to find that out is to wear an HRM.

Cleaning, light, moderate effort

Next time, take your HR manually a few times, average it and enter it here:

That's how I get an accurate burn every time I work out.

Honestly, I wouldn't count it at all. Chalk it up to some bonus points.

How big is your house that it takes an hour???

i dont count any cleaning, as its something i do regardless of whether i am counting my calories or not.

If it's something you do everyday, then just change your activity level. If it's something you do occasionally, the best way to check is a HRM. Or just list it under "cleaning, light, moderate effort."
