Latest research from Triton Showers has revealed that the UK is a nation of shower multitaskers.
Two thirds of respondents to a survey confessed to singing, cleaning the shower enclosure, shaving, or brushing their teeth at the same time as showering.
The survey of 2,000 adults, which looked into the nation’s showering habits, also found going to the toilet, making a call and having sex in the top ten showering tasks, alongside dancing.
One in ten people confessed to washing items of clothing in the shower while some more unusual tasks included washing a pet, doing exercises and yoga as well as watching a TV show.
Just under half used the time to think, with 12 per cent admitting to having made a life changing decision in the bathroom.
Tina Simpson at Triton Showers said: “Working in the plumbing industry, it’s easy to think we know everything about our customers, which is why research like this is so interesting. Whereas the bathroom is usually seen as an area of respite, our hectic day-to-day lives means sometimes the precious few minutes we have in the shower are now being taken over by a range of other tasks besides cleaning ourselves.
“Crucially, whether it’s first thing in the morning or last thing at night, the research highlights that showers remain a key part of people’s day. As an industry, we just need to be sure that bathrooms and more specifically the shower is installed and maintained according to manufacturer instructions to meet requirements, whatever they might be.”
