I have a kabbala (tradition passed down) that every effort that one exerts themselves with in honor of the Yom Tov of Pesach, and you are tired and worn from that exertion - through these efforts you destroy all the Mazikim(damaging angels) called "nigei bnei adam".
(Kav Hayosher, Chapter 90)
(Just thinking out loud - maybe we shouldn’t complain about the women cleaning beyond the halachic requirement.)
One should not say: "Pesach is so difficult" (Rokeach, Hilchos Pesach), because it says in Talmud Yerushalmi Pesachim 10:4: "Rasha mah hu omer - mah ha'avodah hazos - What does the rasha say? - What is this (grueling) work? - this toiling that we bother with each and every year" (preparing for Pesach).
(Kav Naki commentary on Kav Hayosher)

That is powerful stuff. this is probably related to what the Ari Hakodosh says that shvitzing for a mitzveh does this sort of thing
