    Search for "clean" and log either "Cleaning, heavy, vigorous effort" or "Cleaning, light, moderate effort" depending on the intensity level.

    You may have to search on the web version and add it the first time; sometimes MFP does not store all of the exercise options on the mobile app. Once logged on the web version, the exercise will display in your recent list on both the web and mobile app.

    Honestly, I wouldn't log it at all. MFP is set up around your BMR + daily calories burned before exercise. I wouldn't exactly call housework exercise, and if you'd add it you might be assuming you're burning more calories than you actually are. That being said, if you don't eat back your exercise calories then there's of course no harm in adding it.
