SPRINGFIELD, TN, June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Americans state that taking a bath is a great way to relieve stress and pain, and help the body prepare for a good night's sleep. Half of Americans take a bath at least once per week, and over half (54 per cent) wish they took more baths than they currently do.

These are the results of a new survey to better understand the bathing preferences of Americans. The study was conducted by Leger and commissioned by Bath Fitter for the company's 35^th anniversary. More than 1,001 Americans participated.

So, what is the barrier to bathing? A lack of time in a busy schedule was a common complaint. But, nearly a quarter of those surveyed in the Leger poll stated that a poor bath environment – consisting of the tub being too small, dirty or poorly grouted – was what curbed the craving for more baths.

"The good news is that a solution is already at hand in Bath Fitter's tub-over-tub installation process, which avoids stressful demolition and reduces installation to a single day," says Mike Prochaska, Vice President, Retail Operations.
