LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) April 20, 2021
Stratus Building Solutions, the nation’s leading green commercial cleaning company, is releasing the results of a new national survey detailing how cleaning habits and expectations have changed since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The survey shows 90% of Americans remain concerned with cleaning and sanitizing of businesses they frequent even after they receive a vaccination. 8 in 10 of those surveyed say their habits have changed permanently and they do not plan to return to their old ways once the pandemic fades.
“We conducted this survey because we were interested to learn how the pandemic has affected our society’s relationship with cleaning and disinfecting,” said Afshin Cangarlu, CEO of Stratus Building Solutions. “What we learned is, commercial cleaning is no longer a luxury. People expect this level of clean when they walk into a business.”
The survey also reveals where people are most concerned about germs and cleanliness and what their expectations will be as the pandemic fades.
Key survey findings:
- 8 in 10 say they worry about a COVID-19 variant or something like COVID-19 surfacing in the future.
- 8 in 10 are extra cautious about germs at restaurants, retail and grocery stores and airports.
- 94% want the businesses they frequent to put an extra emphasis on cleaning and sanitizing even after more Americans get vaccinated and the country continues to open.
- 76% say they are willing to ask a business they frequent about cleaning practices even after vaccination.
- 92% say they want to be confident in a workplace’s cleaning and sanitizing procedure before returning to the office.
- 6 in 10 say they plan to be diligent because COVID-19 isn’t the only issue. The flu and the common cold are also a concern.
- 66% say they expect their workplace to be cleaned and sanitized every workday.
