Use the following estimates, based on a body weight of 150lbs, to help you determine how many calories you might burn doing about an hour of typical daily housework/ cleaning: 1  Sweeping x 10 minutes = 37 calories. 2  Vacuuming x 10 minutes = 37 calories.  Ironing x 20 minutes = 50 calories.
Get up and move and the calorie consumption jumps up farther: doing light cleaning uses up 170 calories per hour, while even moderate walking at 2.5 miles per hour burns 200 calories. Exercise can multiply the basic calorie needs by more than a factor of 10.
