Disclose Notes: In the story's original printing in Tom & Jerry Comics (Dell, 1949 Series) #125 (December 1954), as in the original theatrical animated shorts, the "housekeeper" was drawn as the African American maid character known as "Mammy Two-Shoes", with skin coloring reflective of that character. For this reprint, the character's skin coloring was modified to have her appear as Caucasian - again following some of the original shorts that "recast" her as an "Irish Maid". In both instances, as well as in the shorts, the character is never seen above the shoulders.

Unofficial title is a play on "Mouse Cleaning", the title of a 1948 Tom and Jerry theatrical short, which has been omitted from DVD collections and not made available for TV viewing.
