Pint-Sized Laundry Room Shows Safety Can Be a Priority in Any Space

Washington DC, July 15, 2024 – The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) is putting a spotlight on safety in laundry rooms of all sizes. As part of its Packets Up! campaign, ACI has partnered with Dr. Kwanda Roberts, creator of @TinyHouseCalls, to remind parents and caregivers that no matter where laundry is done, safety is always a priority.

Today, Americans do their laundry in all sorts of ways. According to an ACI study conducted by Wakefield Research, 46% of households have a washer and dryer in a closet or another room in the house. When looking to maximize storage and make the most of small spaces, it’s also essential to consider safety.

As a physician, mom, and interior designer, Dr. Roberts combines beauty, function, and safety in everything 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 top priorities is to provide information to parents and guardians on how to safely and properly use and store cleaning products, but creating a safe laundry environment doesn’t mean you have to compromise on functionality or aesthetics,” said Brian Sansoni, ACI’s senior vice president of communications and outreach. “Dr. Roberts’ video is a great reminder that even in the smallest of laundry rooms, parents and guardians 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 U.S. adults ages 18 and older between February 12 and 19, 2024, using an email invitation and an online survey. Data were weighted to ensure an accurate representation of U.S. adults ages 18 and older.

The results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The amount of variation is measurable and depends on 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 out of 100 that the result of a survey would not vary, plus or minus, by more than 3.1 percentage points from the result that would have been obtained if the interviews had been conducted with all the people in the universe represented by the sample.
