How much time and money we spend on self-cleaning
A Life / / December 19, 2019
Everything changes! In the 1960s, the hostess spent on household work about 44 hours a week, for more than six hours a day. But technological progress has significantly reduced these numbers. Now the dirty dishes can be trusted with dishwasher, cooking - multivarka, linen - stiralka, and the floor - the robot cleaner. Modern city dwellers spend on cleaning "only" a year and a half of his life. Stop! Year and a half?!
Together with Qlean we considered how much time and money people spend on something to their own to restore order in the house. Results unpleasantly surprised.
Time
In 2013, British scientists conducted a study and found that their compatriots spend on cleaning 12,896 hours of his life. On average - four hours a week. And we are talking only about the elementary hygiene: cleaning countertops in the kitchen, placement of things in places and the like. Wash the floor and vacuumed most Britons once a week, and polish the windows, clean the toilet or wipe the dust on the cabinets - even rarer.
After analyzing women's online forums, we realized that the ladies spend on maintaining the purity of not less than - 2-4 hours per week. 104-208 hours per year. It is without washing, ironing, washing dishes, as well as the time to care for children and pets.
In cleaners cleaning their algorithm. They start with residential rooms: scavenge, carefully sort clean and dirty things, folded clothes, arranges everything in its place, wipe the dust, polish the mirror and wash the floor. Next - suite: start with the fact that collect garbage, things are laid out, wipe all surfaces of the shelves to the cranes and thoroughly clean the sink, toilet, bath or shower. The next destination - the kitchen, then - hallway. Cleaner moves from the depths of the apartment to the door, so as not to spread the dirt chaotic movement from one room to another. All this takes about four hours. Time increases if a customer orders additional services: washing windows, ironing, cleaning the oven and more.
While Cleaner cleans out clutter, you can go with the children to the park, go shopping, go to the gym or guests. Optionally, to sit at home and watch - we have a very strict selection criteria and control over the personnel. When cleaning is finished, the client evaluates its quality at the check-list and then paid - cash or card. Usually nothing to complain about, but if the owner still remains dissatisfied, Cleaner will clean again, free of charge.Qlean
Men do hate to leave. According to all the same to British researchers, clean the house, they pay half the time than women - 6448 hours. In this case, 16% of men admitted that they had not cleaned! There are a logical economic, social and psychological explanations.
First, men are more focused on career when you leave the house at seven, and come back after midnight, not before harvest. Secondly, the majority of boys do not notice the mess: chair copes with the cabinet functions and socks do not roll, and lay beside the bed: still morning wear. Third, there still exists a prejudice, if cleaning is not a man's job.
We only had two cleaners men. And they quickly departed, as they were more interested in the business secrets, not the cleaning. Our staff - a student and a woman of about 40 years. Representatives of the beautiful half of humanity more careful, methodical and patient, which is important for the quality of professional cleaners. For example, in the regulations have color-coded areas. Bedroom - green, kitchen - red and so on. This means that for each color you want to use only certain cleaning products and tools. Women cope with this perfect man - not very. On the whole, girls easier to be polite, and invisible to the owners of the apartment.Qlean
So, to thoroughly wash the entire apartment, you need a minimum of 240 minutes. Clean up to 40 minutes daily can not everyone, and the dirt accumulates permanently. Therefore, the de facto people are cleaned once a week. And often in the household chores are killed all weekend: in the intervals between cleaning cook, ride for products, suggesting a revision in the closet... The average timing is as follows: four hours per week and 208 hours per year. And this is - for a minute - one year and three months of life (Provided that you will live 60 years or more).
Money
According to the Daily Mail, Britons spend more than a million pounds to household chemicals per year. Research on how much money goes to maintenance of cleanliness in the house of our compatriots have been conducted. But if you believe all the same forum, this article of the family budget is between one and a half to five thousand rubles.
No wonder. Price tags on detergents start at $ 100. The more specific and better, the more expensive. So, a good spray ceramic or stainless steel is not less than 500 rubles. It is not necessary to speak about the economical consumption: producers unprofitable to their products is more than enough for 2-4 weeks. Multiply it on consumables (rags, sponges, brushes, etc.) and find out how much money you have spent on only one household chemicals.
We do not save on the "chemistry". Firstly, we value health personnel. Cleaner contacted with the cleaning agent of 4-8 hours. Therefore, they have to meet international standards and be 100% safe. Second, we take care of the clients, their children and pets. We only use hypoallergenic cleansers.Qlean
In addition to costs, cleaning the home - it is also "lost profits." Operates an hourly wage they know how valuable literally their time. But the count, how much is an hour of your work, you can, even if you do piecework wages. Divide the salary by the number of working hours per month. Suppose, on the production calendar in the month of 168 hours, and the s / n is 50 000 rubles. The arithmetic is simple: 50 000 rubles divided by 168 hours, we get 297 rubles 61 kopecks. In other words, in this case the man spent on cleaning four hours will miss profit of nearly 1 200 rubles.
We do not consider the cost of cleaning of square meters. All that matters is the number of rooms: studio apartment - 1 990 rubles, two-bedroom - 2490 rubles, two-bedroom - 2990 rubles. Cleaner cope equally well and with a modest 40-meter odnushke and apartment of 120 square meters and more.
Customers so too convenient. Many questions about the housing area special removable, baffled - not to run on the same rooms with a tape measure. More convenience for customers you enter discount - who orders cleaning constantly, save 20%.Qlean
