In this interview, Relationship & Online Dating Expert, Dr. Jess Carbino breaks down these survey results and shares how keeping a clean home can help you score your next relationship! She'll give the dirt on relationship dealbreakers and how couples can turn up the romance while keeping their homes tidy.
Other key survey findings include:
— Cleaning together heats things up. 75% of Americans say that sharing chores is more romantic than giving gifts.
— Doing the dishes unprompted brings the spice from the kitchen to the bedroom. Two-thirds of Americans say that a partner doing the dishes without being asked is more romantic than delivering a dozen roses.
— Who needs glistening abs when your date keeps their house sparkling clean? A date is four times more likely (78%) to appreciate a clean home than a companion who goes to the gym regularly (22%). They're also eight times more likely (89%) to prefer someone with a clean home than one with a nice car (11%).
— Cleaning is a sign of respect and a point of frustration in relationships. Nearly eight in 10 Americans believe a clean home reflects how much you respect your partner. Six in 10 say they get frustrated with their other half when the house isn't clean.
