An Overview of Consumer Cleaning Habits in Germany

Research on German Consumers’ Cleaning Habits: What Consumers Want and Why

  • Consumer Cleaning Habits in Germany: Despite the fact that the majority of Germans have an outdoor space in their home, such as a balcony or garden, 23% of them do not spend any time tending to those spaces outside the home.
  • What Matters to German Consumers While Cleaning: Tech-assisted cleaning solutions such as AI and robots, or easy-to-use products, are a way for brands to cater to the 89% of consumers who think getting tasks done as quickly as possible is important. This likely also alleviates stress for those with low cleaning skills that consider cleaning strenuous.
  • Opportunities for Brands Regarding Cleaning Habits in Germany: Tidying around the house is the task that consumers do most frequently every day. Although household care products are not directly involved in this process, brands can still engage with consumers as 74% of those cleaning their home listen to something while cleaning. Brands can connect with them through music, e.g. by creating Spotify cleaning playlists.

Trusted by global industry leaders

We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.

Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, Wunderman Thompson

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.

Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton

Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.

It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
