What you need to know
Americans are on top of their domestic game, and although there is a common desire for a simplified cleaning experience, the rapid spread of COVID-19 is shifting cleaning behaviors and priorities. In these uncertain times, natural interests will take a backseat as consumers focus on disinfection and germ killing to protect their health and the health of the home to gain peace of mind. As concerns ease and consumers move into the 'next' normal, value, safety and health will move back as top priorities.
