Abstract

Recent innovations in the field of cleanliness announce remarkable efficiency that influences the way work is organized, and the way people interact, and transforms perceptions of social organization. Cleaning standards are increasingly higher as social contexts demand them. These new technologies that enter the world of dirty work promise transparency and safety for beneficiaries, cost efficiency, and the possibility of reducing physical activity for workers. Examining the role that innovations have in the field of cleanliness, providing a comprehensive perspective on the effects and perceptions of users, presents a beautiful fairy tale that brings the outcome of a context related to control, stress, and the fear of tomorrow.
