It's no secret that our cleaning habits are as varied as we are, shaped not only by personal preferences but also by social customs. Generations often have their own unique cleaning habits: from minimalist approaches to strict weekly schedules and cleaning tricks to tried and tested methods. But have you ever wondered how different your cleaning habits are from those of your parents - or even your grandparents? Now CYCLE wants to find out, so it's launching a survey to explore gender and generational differences.
How do generational habits shape the cleaning routine?
For example, Generation Z often prioritise efficiency and sustainability, choose eco-friendly products and look to social media for quick cleaning tips that fit their lifestyle. Many members of Generation Z advocate sustainable cleaning, using multi-functional products and minimalist strategies to keep their homes fresh without having to invest too much time or resources.
On the other hand, older generations, such as boomers, have mostly grown up with ingrained routines and brand loyalty. They are more likely to dedicate a day each week to cleaning, while also scheduling major clean-ups at regular intervals. Millennials often mix the two, seeking efficiency with DIY solutions that combine the minimalism of Generation Z with the thoroughness of older generations.
Your opinion matters
CYCLE, we believe that understanding these habits can provide insights that can drive innovation in our cleaning products. Are we moving towards a more sustainable future or will tradition win out? Your participation can help us understand what consumers want and need, whether they want products designed for everyday cleaning or products that are only used for major cleaning jobs. Please take a few minutes to share your cleaning habits and preferences with us, as your answers may tell us that cleaning habits may not be a gender or generational divide, but a bond that connects us.
