Over the last few months, the link between mental wellness and households has never been more important, with many of us recognising the endless possibilities when it comes to our homes. We’ve spent more time at home than ever before, with many of us converting our homes beyond our imaginations - into schools, home offices and gyms - a place for us to truly preserve both our physical and mental wellbeing.
Beyond cleaning, maintaining our households has become a safety strategy.
Our mental state improves when our home is clean and organised (Mintel, 2019). From this, people taking cleaning to the next level has been a way for them to take back control in times of uncertainty.
Cleaning related social media influencers are on the rise! These influencers have seen a surge in popularity as consumers have used cleaning as a way to restore normalcy in times of chaos.
Popular influencers include Sophie Hinchcliffe and Brandon Pleshek, who both give an insight into their own personal cleaning routines within their homes.
Brands are in control of building on the household connections they have built throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Household products have been fundamental in promoting both a safe and serene home space.
To cater to these trends, here’s some key ingredients for the latest household innovations.
