When checking on the web how often people clean, they all claim to do it daily, using smart and green cleaning products, as not cleaning regularly, at least weekly, is a sign of bad hygiene.

Because of this, cleaning companies gain more ground and professional cleaners are more and more in number and providing any domestic services you may think of, or won’t even cross your mind.
According to The British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) people with OCD are among the clean freaks as cleaning is a compulsion for them.

Cleaning 22% less often may result in cleaners having to deal with 22% higher workload, at least, good news for the business.
