We don’t have time to do Big Cleans

Apparently, life is too short for those of us living in the South West, who only get around to deep cleaning their homes once every two months.

It’s all about having the time, according to the 1000 families taking part in a study by ao.com.

Having to make do with basic surface cleaning is what 82 per cent of us manage.

And those with an upstairs only deep clean an average of twice a year because guests don’t tend to wander around the bedrooms.

Interestingly, those over 55 years of age worst of all for cleaning with the 16-24 year olds the cleanest age group.
