According to a survey (調(diào)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 cidy. A new survey by CIF-experts on making
cleaning jobs easier shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven (爐), where you live
in the UK may show how much effot 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 Lhey 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 (強(qiáng)烈的對(duì)比)
to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.
     BEDROOM 
     18% believe cleamng starts here: thaCs the percentage of women who clean wear- ing their dressing gowns (a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle (擁抱) as a" thank you" for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.
     LIVINGROOM
     32% of women in the northeast tum up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in
ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energet- ic 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:

and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.
