Household Cleaning Study

SIS International Research is currently coordinating a study on "house cleaning". This study will be conducted either in your home mid-May or in a focus group the last week of May. You will be selected for one or the other, you cannot do both.
The study will take 2-2.5 hours and the incentive will be 150-250 dollars depending on what types of study you participate in.

Everyone will be required to keep a week long diary of their cleaning process. The diaries will be sent to you by email to be filled out and returned to us.

We are seeking people who are cleaning their own homes or apartments using several different appliances. The screener is to be filled out completely to be considered.

If you would like to be considered as a participant for this study, please complete a pre-screening survey. Those who qualify will be called to schedule.
