Hate cleaning? Would you rather put up with clutter than tackle your washing. Does mopping turn you cold? You’re not alone.
A recent study by Aldi and Galaxy Research showed that 45% of Gen Ys spend less than 90 minutes per week cleaning. Compare that to the fact that Gen X and Baby Boomers are twice as likely to spend 10-14 hours a week cleaning, and it’s clear we have a very different relationship to cleaning than our parents.
Are we a lazy generation, or simply clever? With technology now playing an integral part in most of our lives, it’s only natural that this mentality has permeated how we think about household chores.
Do yourself a favour and invest in technology; automated cleaning devices pay for themselves; giving you more time to spend with friends, with family, and relaxing.
VACUUMING – iRobot Roomba 650
Why vacuum when you were born to do anything but vacuum?

The lesser known side? These brilliant little robots actually work. They’ll zoom around their allocated area and make sure not a speck of dust is left behind, using walls as guides and entertaining family pets at the same time.
MOPPING – iRobot Braava 380t
