The surprising cleaning habit common women do that apparently men don’t: ‘Do you guys do this too?’
The art of cleaning is a universal task, but it seems that men and women may approach it differently.
A recent discussion on social media has revealed a common cleaning habit that many women share, but most men seem oblivious to.
This habit is not about the cleaning process itself but rather a final step that women take to ensure their efforts have paid off.
The conversation was initiated by a woman who shared her unique cleaning ritual.
After tidying up a room, she would exit and re-enter, viewing the space with fresh eyes to see how it would appear to a visitor.
She asked, 'Me and my girls discussed walking out then back into a room after cleaning it to see what it looks like to someone else. Do guys do this too?'
The question sparked a flurry of responses from both genders, with many women admitting they do the same thing.
'I do that for everything,' one woman confessed, while another said she does it 'every time without fail'.
Interestingly, some women added their variations to this habit. One woman shared, 'I'm a girl, but I don't do this. I do, however, open a window after cleaning and then go out and back in to see if I still smell something.'
This suggests that the habit is not just about visual satisfaction but also about ensuring a fresh and clean scent in the room.
Men, on the other hand, had mixed responses. Some agreed with the women, saying they re-enter rooms to admire their cleaning handiwork.
'I definitely do this. I like admiring a job well done,' one man said.
Another man added, 'I'm a [bloke] and I do this. It's also a good way to get a sense of how your place smells. If you hang out inside too long, you get used to the state of things. A perspective reset can do a lot of good.'
However, many men confessed they had never thought of doing this. 'I have a feeling it's primarily a girl thing. It's also a good way to check that the room smells nice,' one man commented.
Another man admitted, 'I bet you that many guys won't do this.'
The discussion also revealed that some men only clean when they have company, while others simply look around the room from where they stand to assess their cleaning efforts.
Behind the Habit
This habit of re-entering a room after cleaning it may seem peculiar to some, but it actually has some benefits. It's about gaining a fresh perspective and ensuring that the room is not just clean but also inviting and comfortable for others.
By stepping out and re-entering the room, women are putting themselves in the shoes of a visitor, trying to experience the room as others would. This approach to cleaning shows a consideration for the comfort and experience of others.
It's also about self-satisfaction and pride in one's work. Cleaning is a task that requires effort and time. By re-entering the room, women (and some men) take a moment to appreciate their hard work and enjoy the fruits of their labour.
While this habit may be more common among women, it's not exclusive to one gender. It's a practice anyone can adopt to enhance their cleaning routine and create a more welcoming environment for guests.
