According to a survey(调查) by CIF, there's room for improvement all over Britain.
Cleaning our home, love or hate it, is one job you have to work on. But that is not to say everyone spends the same amount(量) of time or effort on making their places tidy. A new survey by CIF—experts on making cleaning jobs easier—shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven(炉), where you live in the UK may show how much effort you put into the job.
BATHROOM
25% of men have never cleaned the toilet, but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in ten Welsh men said they never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You are not alone—a quarter of a million British people say the same. 20% of Scottish people regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.
KITCHEN
36% of people in the southeast say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the northeast spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes, especially the kitchen. In sharp contrast(强烈的对比) to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.
BEDROOM
18% believe cleaning starts here: that's the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns(a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle(拥抱)as a “thank you” for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.
LIVINGROOM
32% of women in the northeast turn up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.
★ SHIFT (除掉) THE DIRT WITH CIF! ★
It's no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half and no one knows that better than CIF. For all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF's top tips:
·Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head. Give it a quick squirt(喷) with CIF bathroom spray(喷剂) once a week.
·Stainless steel(不锈钢) tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Orchid Oxy-Gel lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.
·Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue (烧烤) completely clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evenings. Perfect!
