Have You Ever Stopped to Think How Much Time in Your Life Is Spent Washing Dishes?
According to data from IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), a person spends, on average, 1 hour a day on household chores, and washing dishes takes up a large portion of that time. Over a month, that adds up to more than 30 hours lost in front of the sink.
But the reality for many families is changing — thanks to the adoption of the dishwasher as a routine ally. In this article, you’ll discover real-life stories of those who transformed their routines, surprising data on time and water savings, and the most efficient models on the market.
The Real Impact of Dishwashers on Family Life
Time: The Most Precious Resource
Electrolux, in partnership with the Toluna Institute, conducted a survey with 1,000 Brazilians and found that:
- 67% of people feel stressed when they see a pile of dirty dishes.
- 41% report frequent household arguments over dishwashing.
- And the most impressive figure: a dishwasher can save up to 30 days per year in household chores.
