It’s interesting, though probably not surprising, that new studies have revealed people are thinking and feeling quite differently about hygiene and cleanliness in a post-pandemic world.

This is of particular interest GJK Facility Services, since “clean” is the core of what we do, and the team recently collated some of the research that is coming out on this issue into a blog post. I’ve shared some of the highlights from that post below - you can read it in full here.

80% of people are more uneasy than they used to be at using unhygienic restrooms
More than 95% of shoppers consider that unclean restrooms and unpleasant odours, along with dirty floors, shopping cars and spills and stains influence their shopping decisions
Customers and employees now want to see sanitiser stations, wipes and signage as proof that an area has been properly cleaned (not just wiped down)
More than 66% of employees in a US study say they want their offices to focus more on cleaning practices before they feel safe returning to work
Most employees in the same study believe that employers who pay attention to the general cleanliness of the workplace care more about their employees’ health and wellness
