Survey Finds Students Value Clean Carpets
July 8, 2020A new survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of Whittaker Co. found that among more than 2,000 U.S. adults surveyed, 82% would take action after seeing dirty carpet at a college or university’s campus. Among this group, 48% would question the college or university’s commitment to student and staff health and safety.
Some of the actions survey respondents would take upon noticing dirty carpet include:
- Complain to management (47%)
- Assume the campus is not cleaned properly (42%)
- Tell friends, family, or other students about the lack of cleanliness (35%)
- Consider an alternate college or university to attend (21%)
- Consider donating to an alternative college or university (14%).
