Nearly seven in 10 women (69%) claim they do more household chores than the men in their families, whereas 53% of men say the work is shared equally, according to Jelmar. The majority of Americans (91%) agree that women have made considerable strides working outside the home, but two thirds believe they should carry the larger load of household cleaning responsibilities. That may explain why married women are more likely than average to seek out cleaning products that multitask (70%), are fast acting (56%), and smell good (52%). [Home/Housing, Women]
