Laurence Brown goes through the differences between housecleaning in the US and Britain. The US has air conditioning, which means cleaning AC filters as well as filters for the heating, the dryer, the dishwasher, the vacuum cleaner, the car, the lawn mower, and the fish tank. Further climate control methods mean you need to clean the ceiling fans in America. Meanwhile in Britain, dishes are washed by hand and some people don't rinse the soap off of them! Does this mean they get a lot of soap buildup in their drying towels, or are you just eating detergent with your next meal?
Personally, I am glad that wall-to-wall carpet is declining in the US. You can clean carpets all day, every day, and they are still nasty, especially if you have children or pets or a spouse or a garden. I have my own system of house cleaning, called procrastination. I need true motivation to do it, like company coming over.
Note: Fairy washing up liquid is made by Proctor and Gamble, and its the same formula as Dawn dishwashing liquid in the US. This video has a one-minute skippable ad at 3:30.
