“I think I definitely feel safer at home because there’s not as many people here, it’s just my partner and I, and you don’t have to worry so much about touching a surface that someone else has touched or about having enough personal space around you. Obviously at work, it’s much different because you are dealing with so many people.”
Rune Sovndahl, Fantastic Services Group CEO, says their research illustrates Australians’ changing attitudes towards cleaning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Our research shows that it's actually quite a high number that are severely anxious of going back to work. Two in five Australians are concerned with cleanliness when returning to work, almost a quarter of Australians have become anxious. People are concerned about going out in public despite it being open again, and, we all know that people weren’t really afraid of going out in public before that."
