Kate To Spend A Whole Working Week In Her Apron

Here at Vileda, we’ve predicted that Kate Middleton can expect to spend an entire working week dusting and mopping in her first year as a princess at Kensington Palace.

The new Duchess of Cambridge has won plaudits since she announced she would do without a team of royal cleaners and tackle all cleaning duties at her home inside Kensington Palace herself.

However, we think that her decision will mean Kate is likely to spend a minimum of 124 hours – or 5.16 entire days - cleaning and dusting in the next 12 months.

Tips For Living Solo

Even if you live on your own, from time to time you may have other people to clean up after. Here are some great tips for clean living in your home.

You are most able to keep a clutter-free environment because there is only you there - so have a weekly dejunking session to keep the task of tidying easy. Also cleaning before you go to work will mean you have more time to spend relaxing in the evenings.

Take care to only buy as much food as you need when you shop - you're more likely to end up with out-of-date or gone-off foodstuffs that will add to the need for cleaning out the fridge.

Half of the UK Will Spring Clean on Saturday 12th March

We expect that an incredible 52% of the UK will have a mop or duster in hand on Saturday (March 12th) as our research shows the national Spring Clean starts in earnest. And with the average Brit cleaning for just over 6 hours a week, we predict that this figure is set to rise.

According to research, pulled from six years of sales data, the weekend of March 12th is when the majority of the country finally blows away the winter cobwebs, literally, and starts the preparation for the longer days and lighter nights of Spring.

Our study also shows that both men and women say they are the biggest cleaners in the house. So, almost as many husbands will be mopping, sweeping and dusting as wives.
