TL 7/8 Military barracks housekeeping comments(personal experience.....I do not know 20% of stuff needed for housekeeping my mother/sister do,and on top my flat is a mess;maybe Im just lazy):

-Sheet on bed ,tightened(streached so) so coin would bounce when you drop it on it
-rim of bed,90% sheet setup with border(made by slightly pressing it with fingers,or in case of bad matress salinating fingers a tad) so it looks like box and not oval
-shining boots

.....etc is IMO only default to IQ/dex with some specialisation to do it as required THOUGH it is so minor thing that in GURPS it is Character story "benefit" and not actual points investment.

There are many small things in life that you "need to learn" for different occupations that are worth Zero points and are automatic successes if Character says hes taking his time to make it right.

Putting such things on char sheet using CPs would skyrocket CP inflation w/o real need.

Also considering that GURPS IQ is not same as rl IQ,but is raw IQ + expireance you can easily look at IQ 11 char as being IQ 10 with 50-100 such small "perks".

Look at Washing machine:

Your mother/wife/you(if living alone) have automatic success when you use it(laundry is washed and cleaned).If I(never used it in my life) take 15 min to read manual my laundry would be also as clean as yours.

1 point in skill represents very significant effort in some field.Now add "bad memory" and thing about how many things did you learn at school and dont remember now(Ofc Gurps dont represent that in any frm..it is RPG system and not RL simulation)?

So Id just say that if some Character has military background than He knows such small insignificant things...no points needed be invested.

One with Desert background will be more efficient in "washing sand from all different unpleasant spots" than someone from milder climate.Though if milder climate person takes his time,hell be as clean as Desert persona.
would be dumb to say its worth points?

Housekeeping Basic page 200:

1)Home economics:
-from buying food,paying bills,buying cloths,saving for roof repair 2 years from now,saving for holliday trip...etc

2)Domestic chores

3)Cleaning
-from washing dishes,laundry,knowledge of materials suitable to what temperatures,dies washing/ruining other wardrobe,material stretching/getting smaller,numerous chemical detergents,soups,shiners...blah blah,cooking(from porridge soup...to nice juicy meals..baking,roasting---etc)....whats best for cleaning spots,grass,oil....blah blah,dust.....

4)minor repairs

So if your profession is:

Hotel cleaning lady you should have house keeping
If youre Housewife than yes.(thats your job).
If youre "clean up guy after murder" you should have housekeeping(perk 1 task wonder chemistry.cleaning evidence can help).
If youre student living alone(your room looks like bomb exploded there)than not.
If youre Soldier in barracs you should not

Edit:Many ex/current soldiers roam this forums.ask them what do they think?

I bet majority will say same as I did.(It doesnt mean that some of them ,living alone do not have housekeeping as skill....Im just saying about ones who dont live solo for extended period of their life).
