Annushka Ahuja Looking for an easy and inexpensive way to freshen up your relationship? A new survey of 2,000 adults, half of whom are in a relationship, revealed 69% of Americans say the simple act of seeing their partner clean is a turn-on. The data shows that when it comes to relationships, it’s the little things that count. Gen Z and millennials would rather receive the gift of a clean house (17%) than an expensive gift (11%).
And who needs flowers when mopping the floor may do just the trick? Twice the number of women find the smell of a clean home appealing than those who prefer the smell of flowers. Conducted by Talker Research for Swiffer Unstopables’ “Get Fresh” campaign, the survey found 67% of people even said a clean, fresh-smelling home would make them more likely to “get fresh” with a partner. This is likely why 82% of survey-takers said they are likely to put extra effort into cleaning before bringing home a date.
“We know a fresh, clean space is an essential part of everyday happiness,” said KaNeeTa Kimble, senior brand director for Swiffer Unstopables. “Swiffer Unstoppables launched the Get Fresh campaign to show that cleaning can be a fast and easy way to show your loved ones how much you care.” Positive cleaning habits can even have long-term impacts on your relationship.
The survey found that 34% of those in relationships who have similar cleaning habits to their partner have been together for at least five years. Sixty percent of those.
