BSCs and ISPs—the ‘Nexus of Everything Clean’

August 28, 2023

ISSA has undergone a lot of changes during the association’s 100 years in existence. When ISSA was first formed, its focus was on product distribution and manufacturing. Today, the association fully recognizes the important role of building service contractors (BSCs) and in-house service providers (ISPs) in the cleaning industry.

ISSA’s recent article, The Front Line, acknowledges BSCs and ISPs as the “nexus of everything clean.” In the article, individuals from various organizations that provide professional cleaning services share their thoughts regarding their impact on clients, the challenges they’ve endured, the factors that differentiate their businesses from others, the ways in which ISSA has helped them over the years, and much more.

To read what they have to say, check out The Front Line on ISSA.com.
