Recommendations
• Re-design the process of mopping, scrubbing and vacuuming
– to decrease bending, stretching and effort
– investigate making floors out of easier to clean surfaces
– investigate improving chemical floor cleaners
• Increase public awareness about using ergonomic products
– many subjects said “ergonomic” products were not worth the money
– many subjects had not heard of many of the ergonomic products
• Enable users to improve their household work environment
– for example put adjustable sinks and countertops in new homes
– place a sliding or foldout surface on the hamper or washing machine to
eliminate sorting laundry on the floor
