Most people questioned felt that women should take more care of their clothes (62%), with people in the North West and London feeling particularly strongly about this. In the home, doing the laundry was the second least popular household chore. The research indicated that most people put quite a lot of thought into their laundry habits, with 60% stating that they regularly separate their coloureds and whites before washing, 67% iron their clothes, and 40% happily wash delicates by hand!
