August 20, 2008—More than 68 percent of the customers of facility service providers (FSPs) are increasingly concerned about building contamination and disinfection issues.
A recent survey by Tornado Industries, maker of vacuum cleaners and other floorcare equipment, also found that nearly 80 percent of the end customers have become increasingly concerned about indoor air quality. Further, the study found that more than 84 percent of the FSPs “have taken steps to minimize the environmental impact of cleaning.”
Subscribers to the July issue of TornadoWatch, the monthly newsletter of Tornado, were invited to take part in the online survey.
Of the FSPs responding, 42 percent were building service contractors, nearly 45 percent in-house cleaning professionals in schools and government facilities, with the remainder cleaning professionals in “other” industries. More than 100 people completed the survey, which has a confidence rating of 95 percent.
