Ironing is officially the most boring chore
Mothers don’t really need telling which household chore is the most boring, but just for us to compare notes, Asda has polled parents to find out which household chore is the most irritating.
In order, the top five ‘bore chores’ are:
1. Ironing 42 per cent
2. Washing dishes 25 per cent
3. Oven cleaning 18 per cent
4. Cleaning the toilet 10 per cent
5. Dusting 5 per cent
Ironing topped the poll because it took the longest to do. According to Asda’s findings, mums who obviously don’t buy crease proof clothing, spend an average of 3.5 hours a week flattening the washing out.
Men’s shirts were said to be the most irritating, followed by pleated school skirts then play suits.
