The home cleaning market is always changing, driven by ever-shifting consumer preferences and sentiments. From scent sensations to germ-fighting obsessions, understanding the nuances of this dynamic market is crucial for brands seeking to thrive in the space.

Leveraging data collected from major retailers such as Amazon, Target, Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe’s, Kroger, and Dollar General, this blog post explores the latest trends and insights derived from real-time consumer feedback. Let’s delve into the numbers.

Volume and sentiment analysis for home cleaning market

Our comprehensive analysis captured a total of 15,068 discussions across six different home cleaning products. Among them, Family Guard Trigger and Family Guard Spray emerged as the second and third most discussed products, each accumulating approximately 2,500 reviews.

When it comes to overall satisfaction levels, all six products scored impressively high, with ratings of 89% or higher. The Family Guard Trigger and Family Guard Spray had the two lowest sentiments within the competitive set, at a still-high 91% and 89% respectively. 

Key topics

Understanding what matters most to consumers is crucial for brands to meet their expectations effectively. Across all six products, smell emerged as the top-of-mind concern for consumers. This points to the fact that a pleasant and appealing scent can greatly influence the perception and satisfaction of a home cleaning product.

As this word cloud shows, positive reviews often reference smell, using terms like “scent,” “pleasant,” “smells amazing,” “love smell,” and “fresh scent.” On the other hand, negative reviews tend to use words like “strong” and “chemical,” suggesting that certain smells may be too potent for some. 

The image above helps visualize the topics that drive both positive and negative reviews. As can be expected, smell is on top. Interestingly, efficiency and being pet-friendly both have a surprisingly strong influence, pointing to a potentially impactful avenue for marketing and product differentiation. 

Satisfaction levels remained consistently high across all topics, with a sentiment of 90% or higher. However, the topic of ingredients fell slightly short of expectations, with a satisfaction rating of 79%. This points to an opportunity for brands to focus on transparency and the use of safe and eco-friendly ingredients to meet consumer demands.
