Cif surveyed 2,000 Brits to find out which names were the most likely to have a tidy home - and the results might just surprise you, as will the leavest favourite household tasks
Folks named Sue, Kate and Claire have the neatest homes, while those called Gary, Dave and Nigel are the messiest, according to a survey.
The study of the most house-proud Brits revealed who is most likely to keep their homes shipshape. The tidiest blokes, and the only three male names to make a list of the 15 neatest, were Mark, Ben and Mohammed.
‌
On the other hand, the dirtiest lasses, as per findings by Cif, were those named Lizzie, Maddie, Lola, Ali and Poppy. The results showed that overall, the UK is a nation proud of their homes, with 69% keeping their place immaculate.
‌
The survey into the nation's cleaning habits also discovered that 49% tidy up their home at least once a week, while 7% go an entire month without cleaning. Cleaning-obsessed Brits spend 11 hours per week tidying – a staggering 24 days per year, and 60% find it satisfying.
A whopping three quarters admitted they would judge someone by the cleanliness of their house. Changing bed sheets, ironing and cleaning loos and ovens were named as the least favourite tasks, reports the Daily Star.
However, a third of Brits confessed they loved hoovering, while hanging up washing and doing the dishes were named as some of people's favourite jobs. Cif has teamed up with TV's Queen of Clean, Lynsey Crombie, to launch the Infinite Clean Showdown on London's Southbank.
Cleaning fanatics are set to tackle four intense challenges that include sprucing up everything from pet playthings to yoga balls. Lynsey enthused: "Whether its gleaming countertops or perfectly fluffed cushions, it's clear that Britain has a deep-rooted love for cleaning – and it's so great to see.
"This research further cements that what was once a chore now feels like a source of joy for many - there's something so incredibly satisfying about transforming a dirty space into something clean, calm and serene.
"It's not only nicer to live in, but it brings a real feeling of accomplishment too!".
