Cleaning Pros Call for Eco-Conscious Solutions

CloroxPro latest survey found that eco-conscious product adoption is at an all-time high.

January 16, 2025

CloroxPro released its 2024 Clean Index report, detailing the perceptions, needs, and challenges of more than 1,500 cleaning professionals and consumers from the past year. The findings highlight increasing adoption of eco-conscious cleaning products, as well as ongoing burnout faced by staff because of constrained resources.

Responses from the study show the adoption of eco-conscious cleaning products is becoming widespread: two in three cleaning professionals stated that their facility is using such solutions, and 60% reported that their facility has set a business goal to use more eco-conscious products.

This year’s study also reinforced that burnout is a big challenge faced by cleaning professionals. Half of cleaning professionals indicated that they experienced burnout within the last year, with almost 50% of all respondents saying their level has increased in the last two years.

Cleaning professionals highlighted a lack of training as a key factor to burnout—less training can lead to less employee knowledge about cleaning protocols and efficiency as well as lower employee confidence in cleaning outcomes. In fact, 60% of cleaning professionals do not feel confident that the areas they manage are properly cleaned and disinfected due to lack of training programs.

The Clean Index survey also found that more than half of consumers continue to be concerned about germ exposure at work, with 79% of consumers noting that it is important for businesses to provide disinfecting wipes.
