Cleaning may have become romantic since so many of us don't have to do so much of it. The average household spends seven to nine hours a week doing laundry so you might as well enjoy it. Now that the kitchen has become the new dining room, the laundry room is even more important as a place not only to do the laundry but also to park the vacuum cleaner, the wine and the San Pellegrino. The laundry room may well be the new living room so you'd better surround yourself with great machines, good looking products and storage solutions.
