Secondly housewives which you imply are a distinct group separate from other people only clean because they have nothing better to do with their lives. Not implying that you are either arrogant or misogynistic that is just the way I read it. I think most people clean because they like and/or want things clean. The reasons why they may like or want things clean are not really important.
You're looking too deeply into a very simple statement. Housewives are of course a subset of people. They have an additional motivating factor to clean frequently because being at home all day every day is boring as shit.

Who are they impressing? Neighbors, relatives, friends, their other half, etc.

As for people who clean because they, "like and/or want things clean," you're telling me that you vacuum all the carpets, make all the beds, and scotch-brite the sink once a day; dust everything in the house, sweep/mop the floors, shake out any rugs, and wash all the windows every week? I'm not talking about doing the dishes and laundry or being organized.

I mean June Cleaver shit here, which is what I assumed Buff and Ani's initial discussion referred to.
