According to a new survey with 2,000 United States residents conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Stanley Steemer, seven in 10 of the respondents felt like a new person after cleaning their home. Plus, 48 percent noted their excitement from seeing a freshly-cleaned space and 42 percent looked forward to smelling the rooms after they finished cleaning.
Many people like the idea of talking about their home after cleaning it, too. Forty-seven percent noted that they brag after cleaning the inside of their home and 45 percent brag about cleaning the outside of their house. Surprisingly, three in five people surveyed revealed that they will make a mess on purpose just to feel post-cleaning satisfaction.
