A report has revealed that heterosexual men have about as much idea on cleaning as women do on fixing things.
One participant was quoted as saying "From my chemistry lessons, I always knew the potential of bleach but I never saw it before my eyes. It really does turn things white when washing up liquid does nothing - it's amazing but can get repetitive after a while."
Part of the study involved showing 2 identical bathrooms to a group of men and women. One hadn't been cleaned for about a week and was a 5 metre walk, the other had been cleaned, warmed and 'fragranced' about 15 minutes earlier but was 10 metres away.
In a classic divergence of the sexes, almost all of the men went to the nearest bathroom and proceeded to make it even messier. Meanwhile, the women were happy to travel an extra 5 metres partly due to the alluring smell of Jo Malone 'Camomile and Yasmine' candles - nevertheless, leaving the facilities spotless on departure and even popping in to the mens bathroom to 'tidy up a bit'.
After the experiment, the participants were walked around and asked to judge which bathroom was tidier. Ironically the womens' actions meant the men where still 'none the wiser' about tidiness - even if they cared.
A similar study was carried out with homosexual men but the results were completely different with candle trading and bathroom 'redesigning' rampant.
