A peek inside Canadian women’s laundry hampers reveals that we’re a filthy bunch.
And we’re not referring to our penchant for riding out the rinse cycle…
Oh go on, we know you’ve all done this (above).

A recent
poll reveals the following shocking statistics:
1. One per cent of women surveyed say they wait until their underwear is visibly dirty before laundering it.
2. One in five women admits to spraying on perfume or deodorant to mask the smell of clothes that weren't fresh.
3. A third of the women polled admit to leaving delicates and handwash items at the bottom of the hamper for months.
4. Nearly half of women admit to fishing clothes out of the laundry hamper to wear again.
5. 14 per cent of women have worn the same pair of socks for several days in a row.
6. More than a third of Canadian women admit to going a month without changing the bedsheets.
Mistress MJ admits to statistic #2. She keeps a
travel-size bottle of Febreze for those emergency situations where she just can’t get home before dawn. Ahem.
But surely we Canadians are not alone on top of our heap of dirty laundry. Previously we blogged about the
Brits and their filthy bedsheets.
So tell us which laundry crimes
you’ve committed.
