Cultural Tip
In everyday Italian, especially among family members or roommates, dropping the article before *casa* is perfectly natural. In more formal writing you would say *pulisco la casa*. Also, *anch'io* sounds slightly more colloquial than the full *anche io*, so choose based on the register you need.
