Abstract

Every 3 years since 2008, A.I.S.E. (the International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance Products) has commissioned a pan-European survey on consumers’ habits and perceptions. The objective of this exercise is to find out about consumers’ perceptions vis-à-vis the cleaning and hygiene industry, as well as to monitor washing habits and their evolution in the domains of laundry and dishwashing practices.

Key findings from 2017 research:

  • A broad recognition that cleanliness and hygiene in and outside the home is key and as important for consumers as being in good health
  • A relatively stable situation with regard to laundry/dish cleaning habits compared to 2014
  • Opportunities for further progress in consumer habits notably with regard to dosage, sustainable consumption and safe storage
  • A stable situation concerning the perception of product safety, but a slight decline in people’s interest to read on pack information compared to 2008
  • Relative stability in trends regarding sustainability and laundry/cleaning products versus three years ago.
