Cleaning the bathroom can be a nasty chore, depending on who’s been using it, so how great would it be to not have to do that dirty work again? A new survey looks at the sacrifices Americans would make to never have to clean the bathroom again and finds it’s worth quite a bit to them.
- 20% would give up half their yearly salary to have a bathroom that was always clean and sanitized.
- A quarter of respondents would be willing to give up eating out or takeout, while 23% would give up their favorite show or series and 22% would trade a year’s worth of Internet access for a bathroom that stays clean forever.
- Some respondents would also give up coffee (24%), their favorite outfit (23%), watching their favorite sports team (22%), 2-ply toilet paper (22%), their washer or dryer (20%), their sense of taste (20%), electricity (19%), their bed (18%) and even their hair (17%).
The poll of 2-thousands U.S. adults also reveals:
- A third (34%) consider the bathroom the most challenging room to clean.
- People’s bathroom habits may be part of the problem, but what’s the most annoying one? Leaving toothpaste or makeup stains on the mirror or sink (30%). Other top offenders include:
- Forgetting to flush the toilet (29%)
- Peeing on the seat or around the toilet (29%)
- Leaving hair in the sink or tub drain (28%)
- Leaving the toilet seat up (25%)
- Clogging the toilet (25%)
- And spending too much time in the bathroom (25%)
- These are some of the reasons that 39% admit they’d be embarrassed if a guest used their bathroom when it was dirty.
- For 40%, having a guest see their home when it’s dirty is as stressful as a day at work.
