Expert tips on keeping our homes healthy

Researchers from indoor climate solutions provider, Zehnder Group UK, have taken a deep dive into the nation’s winter habits – and revealed more than seven in ten Brits (75%) insist they plan to hibernate from now until March.

The study reveals that over the next 13 weeks – from the first of December to the 29th of February – the average Brit will spend nine hours of their waking day inside, only venturing out for three hours.

During the 13 weeks of winter, we’ll spend 18 hours a week plonked on the sofa – that’s a staggering 234 hours in total.

We will drink 130 cups of tea or coffee, enjoy 13 duvet days, snuggle up to 39 movies, and watch 169 episodes of our favourite TV shows.
