Sorry, but I don't think you should redo it when they aren't around - they're bound to notice and it'll undermine their motivation.
As someone who married quite late in life and didn't cohabit until I was 44, I recommend learning to accept their way of doing chores so long as the job is actually done (i.e. dishes are clean after being washed). I have no suggestions to make on who is capable of what in your household, having had no kids to train!!
