é way for dustbunnies...“‘Good enough

is fine” when it comes to housecleaning

house chores are over. This is
the era of quick touch-up, pick-
up-as-you-go cleaning, and
we're masters at it.

house? When was the last time
Let's face it. The days of the

In the past, an immaculate
house-hold and a well-raised
family were considered pri
sources of pride for female

and were pots by coaphon based
on the spottessness of their
homes and the overall
impressions their families made,

the house looking respectabie.

In fact, more. than 43. percent
of female respondents. and 21
percent of men claim they are
doing less now thah they did
five years ago. However, only

Less time for ch rd

Today, women pursue higher
education and careers with as
much fervor and success as
anyone, yet are still charged
with managing households and
raising families: Somewhere in
the mix, sacrifices need ta be
made. And we've got news for
you: Women are not staying
home from college and work in
order to clean house.

A ing to a recent survey

conducted by Black & Decker
for its Dustbuster Vac,

25 p of and 23
percent of men-say they are
pitching in more, suggesting that
a-significant portion of the
housework being done five
years ago is quite literally left in
the dust.

“Good enough is fine”

Jeff Bye, marketing director of

erfiphasis on it now than they
did in the past.”

According to the survey, a full
84 percent of women agree that
they can tolerate a certain
amount of dust in their homes.
And when it comes to cleaning,
66 percent of women surveyed
agreed that “good enough js
fine,” and 35 percent only worry
about the appearances of their
homes. Bye says, “While
consumers are much more
willing to tolerate some level of
dust in the corners, they do want
the most visible areas pf the
house to remain neat and

Decker, explains, “Consumers
today are even more family-and
activity-oriented than they were
five years ago. When they're not
at work, they want to be doing
things that enhance.their lives.

necessity, they put much less

time. in the workforce and less
time cleaning house, does this
mean that men are picking up
the slack? According to the
survey, more so in theory than in
practice. While 85 percent of
mien and 91 percent of women
agree that house-cleaning tasks
should be shared equally, it
seems as though there is a bit of
discrepancy as to who is actually
doing the work.

Ninety-one percent of women
claim to be responsible for more
than half the cleaning, with 50
percent of men claiming that
they do. Fourty percent of
women claim responsibility for
100 percent of the cleaning,
while only 3 percent of males
agree with this, and, on the flip
side, 25 percent of males claim
full responsibility, while only }
percent of women give the men
this credit.

“* So how do we
clean our homes?

With fewer major cleanings
taking place and the prevalence
of smaller scale “touch-ups,”
consumers are looking for
products to help them get
through their tasks as quickly as
possible. In ‘fact, 86 percent of
women and 77 percent of men
surveyed agree that they actively
seek out small appliahces that

Dustbuster save time and energy
by climinating the need to drag
