Put your hands up if you hate the dreaded task of cleaning… now put your hands up if you prefer using equipment that can make this chore bearable.

ME ME ME ME ME! Give me a boring task to get on with on the condition of providing the appropriate tools that makes the job a whole lot easier I’m in!

What with my Summer Fitness Challenge underway I’m looking for different ways to reach my goal and I’d be silly to knock these calorie burning activities (provided by Vileda) to the side, every little helps when it comes to fighting the bulge.

Feast you eyes on the surprising numbers below…

Activity                                                              calories per hour
Mopping                                                           238
Dusting                                                             174
Walking up and down stairs                           516
Cooking                                                            40-50
Cleaning Windows                                          180
Sweeping floors                                               60

So to help me on my way with the mopping scenario I have opted for Vileda’s SuperMocio – apparently designed to make mopping faster, easier and more effective! The 3Action SuperMocio has been improved and modified in three different ways to ensure the best ever clean:

1. A non-scratch scourer has been added to tackle those dried on tough marks.
2. The darker blue material is made from microfibre for those difficult marks. This also has the added benefit of Pick Up Pockets which is more absorbent than flat materials.
3. The outer fluffy strips are made from Collectex™, a material which is capable of collecting and trapping smaller crumbs and particles which have been left on the floor. 

Did you know…?
The best way to mop the floor is in a figure of eight motion.

Now for finding time to walking up and down stairs for an hour to tone the buttocks and thighs and shed 516 calories… yeah right!
