Let’s state the obvious: Babies are a lot of work. But now, you can put them to work with the funny baby mop. As your little one is crawling around the house, they’ll be cleaning the floor at the same time.

The idea came about from a Japanese spoof commercial, so it wasn’t real. The site Better Than Pants decided to make it come to life in 2012, and suddenly the Baby Mop was real. Since then, other companies have made similar onesies.

The mop part of the design is featured on the arms, stomach, and legs of the onesie. So when a baby crawls across the floors, little do they know that they’re also doing housework. It’s a funny concept, but actually super practical — so you’re welcome, new parents.

You can get the baby-mop onesie on Amazon beginning at $17.28. It comes in a range of colors, including red and white, blue and gray, blue and orange, blue and pink, orange and gray, and orange and pink. There are sizes from 3 to 6 months all the way up to 18 to 24 months. Don’t forget to document baby’s first chore!

Some people have been buying the baby-mop onesie as a gag gift for moms and dads, and others are really using it — and giving it high ratings. “I wish we would’ve bought more of these. I want our little one to wear one of these onesies every day,” one reviewer wrote, noting that their hardwood floors have never been cleaner.

Who knew that baby clothes could be … so genius?
