Twitter Chooses Our Most Loved (and Hated) Chores

TYNE AND WEAR, U.K. - March 23, 2021 - PRLog -- Using an algorithm that measures how kindly Twitter users have reacted towards a variety of household chores, Miele (https://www.miele.co.uk/), the washing machine and tumble dryer manufacturer, has revealed which cleaning task we enjoy doing the most—and which ones we enjoy the least.

Miele reviewed over 11,000 tweets, each relating to one of 27 cleaning categories including sweeping, ironing, and cooking. Each tweet was then measured for its sentiment and given a score of 100—identifying how positive or negative the tweet was. A score of 100 means the chore is very popular and 0 means it is not liked at all. Collating the data, the company was able to calculate which chores were perceived favourably by the public, and which were not.

Forewarning — some tweets contain all the spelling mistakes you may expect from Twitter.

Here, we look at the results.

Setting the scene

Gutters

The biggest problem with chores is that they take too long, and in this case the length of time to dry is the biggest barrier to enjoying a chore which requires very little effort. This can easily be solved by using quality appliances and looking after your devices properly. For example, newer tumbles dryers (https://www.miele.co.uk/e/tumble-dryers-1015698-c) can be more efficient and dry your clothes in a shorter period of time. Even then, cleaning out your lint tray will dramatically reduce drying time.

Chores don't have to be a hassle. Certainly, having the correct tools do the job will always make life easier, but the payoff of completing a satisfying cleaning task can make your day. If you don't enjoy your chores, just make sure that you have the right tools, know the right technique, and think about how much better your life will be when it's done.
