Cleaning burns calories!
January 14, 2019 by Spontex
Well that’s Christmas over with and who hasn’t eaten their weight in cheese and chocolate? We all certainly have at Spontex HQ.
But do we now really want to spend our free time in the gym? Nope, not when cleaning is just as good! Not only does cleaning your home make you feel happier, relaxed and more in control, it also helps burn off those extra calories we all consumed, and rightly so, this Christmas.
CATCH THAT DUST
Let’s start with the dusting… no one likes pesky dust around the house, it can scratch and damage your household surfaces and let’s be honest it doesn’t look very nice either. Grab your Spontex Duster and dust for 30 minutes to burn 50 calories!! That’s the same as shooting hoops for 10 minutes. But watch that it doesn’t get up your nose! The poor Spontex Hog wasn’t quite so lucky, whoops.
Dive into those dishes
No one likes dirty dishes in the sink! Unfortunately washing up is so mundane that we’re all probably guilty of putting it off for a day or two. But instead, fill your Spontex Dishmop with washing up liquid and have your Long Lasting Kitchen Cloth at the ready because after only 15 minutes of washing up you can burn off 80 calories. And if you wash up every night that’s 560 calories a week! That’s equal to swimming 2,500 metres. The Spontex Hog loves doing the dishes... well playing in the bubbles.
RUN THAT MOP AROUND
Who doesn’t love a sparkling, clean floor? The Spontex Hog certainly likes to zip around on a mop. Cleaning your floors for 30 minutes can burn a whopping 145 calories! That’s the equivalent of 15 minutes on a treadmill. We definitely know which we would prefer to do… so pop on your running shoes (it’d be a shame not to get some use out of them) and prepare your mop and bucket, those floors are calling.
DON’T SKIP THE WINDOWS
There’s nothing more satisfying that having spotless windows to look out of! Yep we probably need to get out more but it really does make a room feel cleaner. So grab your Spontex Window Kit and give those windows a good going over, it’ll burn up to 334 calories, which is the same as about 40 push ups!! And remember, there’s no need for chemicals when using your Window Kit, just some water will remove 99% of bacteria.
So who’s up for that new year mighty house clean to burn off that Christmas pudding? :) We definitely are!
