Yeah they can! Thank goodness my daughter cleans. We are going grocery shopping after this. We have little food. Just this and that kind of food, nothing to make a real meal. Pasta but nothing to put on it; less than half a loaf of bread, etc. My eldest son came over to do a deep clean on the apartment (where he doesn't even live) when we were getting inspected quite a while ago now. So nice of him! So they can go the other way, too.
