Legendary popstar Craig David hosted an incredible rave - in a London launderette. <br /><br />Taking place outside of working hours, the surprise performance lasted 15-minutes, the same speed as a fast wash, entertaining customers while they waited for their load to finish. <br /><br />The artist turned DJ played a series of his top tunes from 'fill me in' to 'rewind' as the crowd danced along in the neon-lit laundry room. <br /><br />The Persil Wonder Wash ‘Fast Wash & Rave’ was created after research, into 2,000 adults, found the younger generation are five to 9ers, with 25-34-year-olds hustling to get a lot of tasks done quickly in the hours before and after their day job. <br /><br />With 49 per cent following the productivity trend to make the most of the hours outside of work. <br /><br />Rather than sleeping and getting ready for work, 20 per cent get active at sunrise or sunset to tidy the house. <br /><br />While others will go for an invigorating walk, get a workout done in the gym - or even have sex. <br /><br />Adults aged 18-24 are the next most likely to maximise their mornings, with 40 per cent being early risers. <br /><br />Of all adults polled, 27 per cent like to make the most of the day by getting up early - but 21 per cent wish they were better at it. <br /><br />Craig David, who teamed with Persil [https://www.persil.com/uk/laundry/detergent/wonder-wash.html], said: “I've performed in some wild locations, but never a launderette - get that washing in, 15 minutes, play the set and bop bop bop. <br /><br />“I'm definitely an evening person rather than a morning person, my morning routine is to get up, drink water - and have a shower - and it's in the shower where my inspiration comes. <br /><br />“If I had an extra 15 minutes, I would use it just take time to myself, our time is the best currency we have, it's so important. <br /><br />“I've loved performing at the Fast Wash and Rave - the crowd was brilliant. It smelt great.” <br /><br />The research also found that after work, 18 per cent bake or cooking something, and 16 per cent will improve their mind with a chapter of their latest book. <br /><br />On a typical day, the average early riser will get four tasks done between 5-9 am, such as putting out a wash or watering the plants. <br /><br />But 33 per cent of all respondents feel they spend too much time doing their laundry from sorting and washing to drying and putting away. <br /><br />And those aged 18-24, polled via OnePoll, are most likely to consider themselves a ‘hustler’ - someone who is an enterprising person determined to succeed, while 27 per cent do in fact have a side hustle. <br /><br />Nathan Palmer, spokesperson for Unilever, added: “People all over the country are leading very busy lifestyles. <br /><br />“Between work, family, and social commitments, it’s amazing to see just how many of us are working on important things outside of the traditional working hours. <br /><br />“Our research has revealed that many people wish they could spend less time doing laundry, and we want to help people maximise their time. <br /><br />“It has been a real pleasure working with Craig David to reward these hustlers with a once in a lifetime experience.”
