San Diego, California - Shared interests, compatibility, trust, passion - all are important factors in a successful marriage. But if you really want to nurture your relationship, a new study by Harris Interactive shows it’s important to synchronize your cleaning styles. Husbands should note that 55 percent of married women say they would prefer to receive a whole-house cleaning in lieu of an expensive gift on Valentine’s Day, according to this recent "Mr. Clean Keeping It Fresh" survey. This comes as no surprise, as over half of both married men and married women say they have argued with their partner over a dirty, smelly bathroom, a disorganized kitchen, finding towels on the floor or having a messy countertop and other things. If your relationship could use a little freshening, try freshening the house first, advises cleaning expert Tom McNulty, author of “Clean Like a Man.” “Women love men who clean the house, so what better way to revitalize your relationship than by doing just that,” he says. Since 86 percent of married women believe their significant others pass over mess-prone areas of the house like inside the refrigerator and microwave, McNulty recommends a few strategic maneuvers for men to achieve romantic harmony by way of a clean home: *Cook, Don’t Clutter: Making dinner for your spouse is a low cost way of celebrating a special event, but the mood is lost if you make a mess in the kitchen. Since over half of married women believe the microwave (53 percent) or the inside of the refrigerator (59 percent)are two areas overlooked by their significant other when cleaning, keep a multi-purpose spray handy to quickly tackle any food or grease messes left behind post cooking. Mr. Clean Multi-Purpose Spray with Febreze freshness removes dried grime and spills while leaving a fresh scent behind to revitalize oven tops, inside the microwave and counters so that a fantastic meal is all your wife will remember -- not a dirty kitchen. *Freshen up: Show that you know her possessions are important to her and slip a dryer sheet inside her favorite boots or pumps to freshen and add great aroma to her shoe collection -- running sneakers especially. * Bathroom Bliss: Men can transform the room into a romantic haven by running a bubble bath, placing votive candles around the tub and playing slow music to enhance the mood. To further set the stage for romance, easily clean away mold and grime by using Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with Febreze fresh scent. Just add water and this convenient tool scrubs soap scum from the sink top, toilet base and tub. Its Febreze scent lingers afterwards to fill the bathroom with the fresh smell of either Meadows and Rain, or Vanilla and Comfort. * Beautify her Belongings: Guys can charm their ladies for less coin by gently cleaning dust from her treasured items, like a jewelry box or picture frames, or wipe down her jewelry to remove dirt and tarnish. A majority of both married men and married women (57 percent) agree that sharing household chores and cleaning together is an effective way to keep a relationship fresh, according to the survey. Whether it’s celebrating Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, or for no special reason at all, working together to keep the house clean creates harmony -- and a fresh scent -- in the home. |
