Recently, in order to respond to diversifying lifestyles and a wide range of cleaning concerns, many multifunctional and highly accurate robot vacuum cleaners have been sold and have become established in Japanese households. At Ecovacs, we continue to search every day to develop products that respond to cleaning needs that change with diversifying lifestyles.
As part of the preparation for the end of the year and the start of the new year, Japan has a long-standing custom of cleaning the house. At Kaiku Bucks Japan, we have conducted a [year-end cleaning awareness survey] in order to collect real consumer feedback and use it for future product development at a time when people’s awareness of cleaning is on the rise.
Results of awareness survey regarding spring cleaning
1. 71.1% of people plan to do some deep cleaning at the end of 2023. 43.5% of those who do not.
Tendency to spend time in areas that tend to get dirty even when cleaned daily, such as the kitchen and living room
71.1% of people answered “yes” to the question “Are you planning to do a deep cleaning of your home at the end of 2023?” It turns out that most people plan to clean their homes at the end of the year and start the new year feeling refreshed. Also, when asked how much time they spend cleaning, it seems that many people spend about 2 to 3 hours doing it, which is longer than regular cleaning.

When asked, “Where do you spend most of your time cleaning?”, the answers included the kitchen (64.1%) and living room (38.8%), which tend to get dirty even when cleaned on a daily basis, as well as windows and screen doors (43.5%). Places unique to deep cleaning ranked high.

On the other hand, when we asked the approximately 30% of respondents who said they do not do deep cleaning why, 33.3% said “Because I clean on a daily basis,” while others said “Because I am busy at the end of the year.” The most common answer was 43.5%. With the end of the year so busy, many people may not be able to do the deep cleaning. [Image 5
2. Water areas are the most frequently cleaned area at 63.6%. As a result, many people have trouble cleaning the corners of rooms and other hard-to-reach places when vacuuming on a daily basis. When asked, “Aside from vacuuming, which areas do you regularly clean?”, the most common answer was “the kitchen, washroom, bathroom, toilet, and other water areas.” It was 63.6%. Because it is a place where dirt is easily noticeable, you can see that they are conscious of cleaning carefully on a daily basis.

Regarding places where it takes time to vacuum, including regular cleaning, 35.6% said “corners of rooms,” 34.7% said “around the legs of chairs and tables,” and 30.1% said “carpets.” At the top. [Image 7
3. The most common daily floor cleaning frequency is once a week. Approximately half of all respondents have expectations for “improving the efficiency of floor cleaning by introducing robot vacuum cleaners” To the question, “How often do you sweep and mop your floors on a daily basis?”, the most common answer was “once a week” at 22.2%. The second most common answer was “less than that,” at 17.6%. It became clear to me that I don’t sweep and mop frequently.
When asked, “Do you think that floor cleaning can be made more efficient by introducing a robot vacuum cleaner?”, 47.3% (about half) answered “I think it will be more efficient”, which indicates the acceptance and expectations for robot vacuum cleaners. You can see the height.

Comments from experts As a result of the survey, approximately 70% of the people answered that they will do a deep cleaning at the end of 2023. Furthermore, we found that many people plan to spend about 2 to 3 hours cleaning their house.
It seems that many people want to take advantage of the year-end and New Year holidays to clean up areas that they usually don’t take the time to take care of. Sharing the tasks is recommended for efficient cleaning. Why not make a list of the areas you need to clean and share it with your family, partner, or robot vacuum cleaner? If you clean the kitchen, screens, windows, etc. by hand, and leave the floor cleaning and mopping to a robot vacuum cleaner, you can save time and effort.
By being slimmer and smaller, it can move freely under furniture such as sofas and beds and in narrow spaces, and it can also clean hard-to-reach places, and with advances in mapping technology, it can avoid obstacles and find the best solution. If you choose a model that allows you to clean along the route, a model that automatically lifts the mop pad when it recognizes the carpet, or a model that can automatically clean the mop and collect garbage, it will become a reliable helper for cleaning.
By the way, when I did my spring cleaning last year, after tidying up my room, I had a robot vacuum clean the floor, and in the meantime I cleaned the windows and kitchen. Unlike humans, robot vacuum cleaners don’t get tired even if you move them multiple times a day. It is useful when you want to clean efficiently and thoroughly, such as by running it in the morning and evening, by focusing on areas of concern such as around the dining table after meals, or by cleaning while you are shopping before guests arrive. is.
Please try the “best cleaning experience” with a robot vacuum cleaner with high cleaning power.

Although this is an annual event, this survey revealed various issues, such as the fact that it takes longer than expected and feels like a hassle.
