Although the title of this spell may seem strange, its use is common throughout the lands - particularly those of the gentry or nobility. What protection from housework does is prevent air-borne dust from settling on surfaces and keep common spores and molds from growing within the area of effect, essentially eliminating the need to perform everyday dusting and cleaning. This spell does not, however, clean up dirt and muck that is accidentally or deliberately brought into the area, thus it is wise to prevent muddy children or recently returned adventurers into the protected area.
The reverse of this spell, continual housework, causes dust and dirt to accumulate much more rapidly than normal. Normally, within a few hours after casting the spell, the area will covered in a fine layer of dust.
The material components for the normal version of this spell is a small clump of bird feathers tied together, whereas the reverse requires a bit of an old cobweb.
