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

    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???

    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."
