Cleaning Trends in 2023 and Beyond: Prioritizing the Planet in Cleaning
Sustainability in cleaning has evolved from just talk to concrete actions. The cleaning industry is actively adopting environmentally friendly practices and products. Sustainability considerations now encompass various aspects of the cleaning process and business operations. Consumers are seeking sustainable and socially responsible products and services, driving the industry to assess factors beyond cleaning effectiveness. Key questions revolve around the meaning of sustainability, potential gains, material sourcing, and resource-saving strategies. Transparency, education, and accountable reporting are crucial for building trust and support, whether serving individuals or businesses.
Assessing the Financial Impact of Cleaning
Sustainability is crucial for our operations, closely linked to efficiency and profitability, gaining attention this year and likely remaining significant. Robert Stelling, Director of Interclean’s Global Events, emphasizes businesses’ profitability focus alongside hygiene, sustainability, cost, customer satisfaction, and environmental responsibility.
There’s still significant work needed to change the perception that sustainable products are more expensive upfront and perform poorly compared to traditional ones. Promising strides are being made through strategies that influence consumer behavior and educational marketing efforts. These initiatives aim to show consumers that product quality isn’t compromised, and their purchasing choices can positively impact the preservation of our valuable natural resources for future generations.
The cleaning industry faces ongoing challenges related to staff retention and attracting new talent, especially in practical cleaning roles. Efforts to change perceptions of cleaning jobs and recognize their importance have increased, especially due to COVID-19.
Cleaning processes
Technology is becoming increasingly integrated into cleaning processes, with machines and smart technology optimizing efficiency and working alongside human staff. This shift towards technology appeals to younger generations and allows for more flexible cleaning schedules.
The industry is also grappling with rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and increased material expenses due to global factors. To address these challenges, the focus is on working smarter and finding innovative solutions.
Furthermore, smart cleaning methods are gaining traction, assisting businesses in cutting ongoing costs and achieving sustainability goals through data-driven reports that optimize cleaning schedules and resource allocation.
Overall, the cleaning and hygiene industry is in a dynamic phase, with both challenges and opportunities that have the potential to shape a safer and healthier future for people and the planet.
