Pint-Sized Laundry Room Showcases Safety Can Be Prioritized in All Spaces

07/9/2024

The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) is emphasizing safety in laundry spaces of all sizes. As a part of their Packets Up! campaign, ACI partnered with Dr. Kwanda Roberts, creator behind @TinyHouseCalls, to remind parents and caregivers that no matter where laundry is done, safety is always a priority.

Today, Americans are doing laundry in all kinds of ways. According to an ACI survey conducted by Wakefield Research, 46% of households have an in-home washer and dryer tucked in a closet or within another room in the home. When looking to maximize storage and get the most out of smaller spaces, it’s also crucial to consider safety.

As a physician, mom and interior designer, Dr. Roberts merges beauty, function and safety into all she does, including her designer dollhouse business. Through her recent partnership with ACI, she shared an Instagram video of a miniature laundry room, sharing essential safe storage tips and innovative ways to maximize space while keeping it stylish.

“One of our main priorities is to provide information to parents and caregivers on how to use and store cleaning products properly and safety, but creating a secure laundry environment doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the functionality or aesthetic,” said Brian Sansoni, ACI Senior Vice President of Communications and Outreach. “Dr. Roberts’ video is a great reminder that even in the smallest of laundry spaces, parents and caregivers can create a beautiful space without sacrificing safety.”

About the Survey

The American Cleaning Institute Survey was conducted by Wakefield Research (www.wakefieldresearch.com) among 1,000 nationally representative US adults ages 18+, between February 12th and February 19th, 2024, using an email invitation and an online survey. Data has been weighted to ensure an accurate representation of US adults ages 18+.

Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. For the interviews conducted in this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 3.1 percentage points from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample.
