Many people begin the New Year with resolutions to clear out their clutter and blitz their bodies; therefore local businesswoman Candy Parr is suggesting innovative way to detox both house and body at the same time!

When considering her resolutions for 2012, owner of Maid2Clean in Yorkshire Candy Parr, felt she was in danger of starting the year with too many separate goals. As the owner of a cleaning business however, Candy has come up with an inventive way to combine resolutions and in doing so, increase their effectiveness.

Candy comments: "The most common resolutions must relate to keeping fit and getting organised and with a little know how, these two ideas can work really well together! For example, did you know that hoovering for just 30 minutes burns over 90 calories; the same as going to a kick-boxing class? Standing and ironing is a great way to tone your arms and upper body and will burn around 100 calories per hour!"

Studies suggest that light housework such as dusting, or changing the bed sheets can burn nearly 200 calories an hour, whilst washing the car or tending to the garden can burn upwards of 250 calories.

Candy continues, "In this day and age people often don't have time to tend to themselves and their household chores, but by combining the two in a realistic and sustainable way, everyone can achieve a cleaner and leaner 2012! And if like me, you would prefer to swim to stay slim, well that is what Maid2Clean is here for!"
