Women do about 70 minutes more housework than men every day.

A new survey found most women spend about 2 hours, 49 minutes cleaning, cooking and washing compared to men's one hour 39 minutes.

It also found that women have about 45 less leisure time in the day than men.

It comes as a separate study of 2,000 adults found those who clean spend just over four hours a week vacuuming, polishing and wiping down surfaces around the house.
A further hour and 42 minutes a month is taken up with changing bed sheets, cleaning the carpets and cleaning the oven.
Almost a third enjoy cleaning because it makes them feel less stressed and 41 per cent like to clean to take their mind off other things.
More than half even admitted to cleaning things which don’t need sprucing up, just to alleviate stress or anxiety.
Vacuuming emerged as the most relaxing cleaning task, followed by wiping down kitchen surfaces, and doing the laundry.
