The most thankless household tasks revealed! 

Other thankless household tasks include putting on the washing so the family doesn’t run out of socks and pants, and cleaning the oven.

A poll of 2,000 adults listed the jobs which go unnoticed, with 31 per cent admitting they rarely or never witness them magically getting done by someone else.

The research was carried out by the Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Appliances, AMDEA, which has a ‘Know Watt’s What’ website to help people discover how small behaviour changes can make a big difference to household bills.

Ros spoke to Stefan Hay, CEO of AMDEA.
