Written by In the past three months, the average American has missed out on two fun events, avoided hosting guests twice, and had two arguments in their household due to their home’s messy state. According to a new survey of 2,000 nationally representative Americans, the stress of needing to clean their home before they can relax is ever-present for two-thirds (64%). Of those who have missed out on doing something fun due to needing to clean their home, respondents spent that time doing laundry (56%), cleaning the bathroom (51%), doing the dishes (46%), vacuuming (40%), and mopping (38%). Results found that a majority of those surveyed were overwhelmed by the never-ending task that is cleaning (69%). Conducted by Talker Research for Swiffer, the survey found that the average person surveyed loses an average of six hours a week between prepping to clean, cleaning, and recuperating afterward — nearly an entire workday dedicated solely to cleaning up.
