"The popularity of multipurpose products underscores the need for clearer differentiation, positioning food safety as a credible opportunity within kitchen cleaning."
Luke Santos, Household Care Analyst
Kitchen cleaning habits are shaped by cost pressures and a preference for simplicity. With 75% of UK adults responsible for kitchen cleaning having used multipurpose products, value and versatility anchor decision making. This streamlined nature of routines reflects busy family life and a desire to do more with fewer products.
The reliance on multipurpose risks weak engagement with specialised kitchen surface cleaners. As all-purpose formulations improve, kitchen-specific cleaning products must clearly demonstrate their importance to gain more widespread use. Food- and skin-safe cues offer a credible way for kitchen cleaners to differentiate, as the kitchen is a place where chemical concerns and residue anxiety are especially heightened.
Fragrances are influential in kitchen surface cleaners. In the UK, 57% of kitchen cleaner buyers say scent influences their purchase in the category, highlighting how it can be a differentiator in an otherwise functional space. More-refined scent profiles offer brands a way to elevate their offering and add value.
This report examines kitchen cleaning behaviours in the UK. Mintel’s definition includes products sold via grocery retailers, discount retailers, convenience stores and online-only retailers.
The kitchen surface cleaning market size only includes specialised products. However, the following products are also included throughout the report:
These products come in a number of formats, including sprays, mousses, creams, foams and disposable wipes.
For additional market context, the Report also includes a market size and forecast for dishwashing products, which includes:
Dishcloths, sponges, scouring products, washing up tools and rubber gloves are excluded from both market sizes.
The first Mintel Market Intelligence report was published over 50 years ago. Since then, we have provided our unique insights and understanding of consumers, innovation and global markets to thousands of customers worldwide. Here’s why our customers rely on Mintel:
Curious about how a Market Intelligence report comes together? We like to think of it as building a detailed puzzle. We start with individual pieces: data from consumers, market statistics, industry trends, and online conversations. Then our expert analysts add world-class human insight and industry knowledge. The pieces are assembled to reveal a clear, comprehensive picture of a market.
We use a combination of four main research methods when creating our reports, each adding a valuable perspective:
Each of these four pillars provides a different piece of the puzzle. Consumer research tells us what customers think, desk research provides the factual framework, trade research offers an insider’s view, and social media analysis reveals public sentiment.
Our expert analysts are skilled in weaving these diverse data streams together. They apply a range of quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques to uncover the deeper story, connecting the dots to deliver clear, actionable insights. This comprehensive, multi-layered process is how we transform raw data into a market intelligence report you can trust to inform your most important business decisions.

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.
We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.
We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.

At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
