The coronavirus pandemic has heightened concerns about air quality and safety of indoor spaces, including the homes we live in. New cleaning technology is being rapidly added to houses across the country.
A recent survey finds that homeowners are looking for new sanitization tools and a majority are willing to pay more to either rent or live in homes with automated cleaning technology.
"Everybody has the spotlight on these germ problems right now. A lot of germ issues were here before the coronavirus and, unfortunately, people are taking a harder look now at how are we really investing to make cleaner and safer places," said Colleen Costello, CEO of Vital Vio, an eight-year-old company that specializes in antimicrobial LED lighting.
"A lot of the customers that we have are not using a single tool, they're using a variety of different tools, whether it be different light spectrums, different traditional cleaning chemicals and things along those lines," said Costello. "It's really an ecosystem that if you can help drive down the overall organism growth environment, you're doing better off to make it inhospitable for other things to grow in those spaces.".
