Men do far more work around the house than they are given credit for, according to a recent survey by Dove.
The respondents said that they spent 13 hours a week on household chores including cleaning the toilet, taking out the rubbish and changing the bed linen.
DIY jobs also go unnoticed, according to the survey, with women failing to recognise the efforts men make.
"Our research shows that modern men are becoming more vocal about the contribution they make in the home and the popular stereotype of men doing nothing around the house is no longer accurate," said Paul Connell, brand manager of Dove Men Care.
The task most men said they did was taking out the rubbish - with 85 per cent claiming credit.
The views of the survey's male respondents don't match research by the Royal Economic Society, which show women spend an average of three hours a week more than men on housework.
