P&G (Procter & Gamble) Professional has released the findings of their nation survey ‘2011 Cleaning Industry Insights’. The survey was conducted to explore the attitudes, perceptions and behaviours of 400 cleaning industry professionals and decision makers in relation to the current economic climate and in-house or contract cleaning services.
According to the findings of the survey 75% of total respondents prefer to improve the bottom line of their businesses to ‘find ways to become more efficient’. It also found that six out of ten respondents indicated that their business had adopted the approach of ‘doing more with less’ by ‘doing more or the same amount of work with less employees’.
However, the remaining four out of ten have said they have taken on the same approach when it comes to the internal products they use, such as using multipurpose products. This suggests that quality and versatility are key consideration when wanting to combat the latest challenges brought on by the current economic climate. 48% of respondents indicated 'versatility of use' as best defining value when it comes to cleaning products, whereas 40% selected 'high-quality or effectiveness,' compared to 13% who selected 'low price' as best in defining value.
