No. Oh no no no no no. Maybe if there were a range of other character-themed cleaning toys right next to it (Buzz Lightyear Super Space Swiffer, Hercules' Twelve Labors Stable Broom and Dust Pan, Merlin's Magical Dishwashing Assembly Line, etc), but otherwise? NO.

Good god. Does Disney even pay attention to its own mythology? Kids wanting to play adult and pretend clean is one thing (my brother was fond of our toy Dirt Devil as a kid), but within princess stories cleaning is linked with laboring under wicked stepmothers and evil queens.

The real tragedy is that I would be all over Hercules' Twelve Labors Stable Broom and Dust Pan and Merlin's Magical Dishwashing Assembly Line because those are fantastic ideas.
