...For 2 hours burns 599 calories (light cleaning, moderate effort), according to the database. Does anyone have any idea if this is accurate or not? Because if it is, I'm cleaning every dang day for 2 hours.

    you click on the Exercise tab, go to 'database' in the sub menu, then use the drop down menu where it says search here or choose one.....

    I had to check it out for myself. I plan on cleaning my butt off this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

    that may be acurate IF you don't have cleaning in your regular daily activity level. Like if you chose "sedentary" I think excercise calories are meant for the above and beyond your norm....

    I have turned my cleaning into a workout before. I put on some dance music, and really move around the house. I jog in spot every once in a while to keep my heart rate up as I clean.

    I have been using that cleaning for my everyday calorie burning. I was wondering if it was accurate. I clean houses for a living. If someone know if it is accurate please let us know.
