Controversy in France over 'Erotic French maid' cleaning service

French politicians and feminists are requesting the closure of a French cleaning company website which uses young women dressed as French maids in sexy lingerie to clean houses. The ‘Sensual Clean Service’ company directed at ‘fulfilling male fantasies’ as part of their service, has sparked controversy and uproar in France.

The company offers maids to clean clients houses dressed erotically, fitting the French maid bill, complete with a feather duster in hand. They only recruit women with impeccable bodies and good looks, to fit the role which charges between 95 and 150 Euros per hour, which feminists have said “distorts and insults the female image”.

The service includes dusting, vacuuming the floors, cleaning floors and making the bed, but all must be performed in a sensual way to please the client. It is, however clearly stated on the website that it is ‘not a sex service, nor do they offer any illegal activities’, insisting that the ‘Lady Clean’ (the maid) stick to a strict ‘no touching’ policy.

The service, which is run across France is highly popular with their male audience, however French women are enraged. City mayor for Vénissieux, Michèle Picard described it as “the objectification of young women,” declaring the company to determine how legal their services are.

Other reactions, for example, from creator Johann Blazy, were not as phased as he had claimed previously that “the company has nothing to do with prostitution, nor do clients have the right to film the women as they work”.
