IRobot conducts cleaning awareness survey More than 70% of respondents answered that the frequency of floor cleaning increased during their stay at home.

◆ “Floor” is the place where the number of cleanings increased most during the period of self-restraint from going out. Approximately 90% expect to spend more time at home this summer than usual ◆ More than half of the respondents answered that they were concerned about "sticky floor" in summer cleaning ◆ The frequency of floor wipes is "weekly" Approximately 60% of the respondents use "floor wipers" for cleaning at least once. : 500 Survey period: June 17-18, 2020 Survey method: Internet research * When posting the survey results included in this material, please be sure to specify "IRobot Japan Survey" . More than 80% (85.8%) of the respondents answered that the number of cleanings increased during the period of refraining from going out when the state of emergency was announced, and about 70% (71.8%) of them cleaned the "floor". I answered that the number has increased. In addition, 70% (71.8%) of the respondents answered that they are also careful about sterilization indoors, and it was found that awareness of sterilization is increasing even in homes where they spend a long time to prevent infection. On the other hand, 9.7% of the people are conscious of sterilizing the "floor", which is less than 10% of the total, and even if the number of times the floor is cleaned is increasing, few people are conscious of sterilizing the floor. It turned out. Next, when asked about the problems of cleaning in the summer, more than half of the respondents answered that they were suffering from "stickiness on the floor". In addition, about 90% (87.0%) of the respondents said that they would spend more time at home than usual this summer due to the continued spread of the new coronavirus infection and the expected heat wave. As the time spent in the room increases and the frequency of use of the place increases, dirt tends to accumulate, so it is expected that the floor will become more sticky this summer than usual. When asked about the frequency of cleaning the entire floor, about 60% (61.2%) of the respondents wipe the floor "at least once a week", which is more than half, and nearly 70% (68.0%). I found out that a person is cleaning the floor using a "floor wiper". On the other hand, when asked why they do not wipe the floor or do it frequently, about 70% (72.7%) answered that it is "troublesome". It was found that more people who use "rags" are more likely to use "rags" than those who wipe the floor less frequently, and choosing a handy tool is also a factor in increasing the frequency. However, when asked about their intention to clean the floor, many people said, "I want to remove the stickiness that cannot be removed with a vacuum cleaner alone" and "I haven't done much until now, but I want to do it to maintain a clean environment." As a result, we can see the increasing attention to. [Reference] Approximately 100,000 pieces in 1 g of dust entwined with fiber waste from indoor sofas, rugs, clothes, etc. There are about 60,000 molds and fungi (2014 Kao survey results). Especially on the floor of the living room, dust generated in daily life is likely to accumulate, and it is expected that the bacteria and mold in the dust will increase the nutrition of sebum stains and spills on the floor. Pathogens, including these fungi, molds, and viruses, are also invisible causes of infectious diseases in the human body, and indoor hygiene is important on a daily basis. Generally, in the summer, the amount of sebum secreted increases due to the rise in temperature and the dryness of the skin caused by air conditioning. Also this year, due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection, the number of people and the time spent in the living room will increase due to the introduction of telecommuting and refraining from going out. Therefore, from the viewpoint of seasonal factors, changes in life due to Korona-ka, and an increase in stains through people, this summer we wiped the floor of the living room more than usual to remove dust, sebum stains, and oil stains caused by spilled food. It is important to "keep the inside of the house in a hygienic environment" by removing it firmly. In addition, since dust has the property of easily flying up when cleaning, it is also recommended to collect it firmly by a method that can be cleaned without flying up, and also to disinfect and deodorize. I'm still worried about the anxiety and stress caused by the new coronavirus, but how about "cleaning up your feelings!"
