International Cleaning Week Honors Cleaning Professionals Around the World

International Cleaning Week takes place March 24–30, 2024. The week-long event hosted by ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, is a global celebration to honor frontline cleaning professionals and advocates for the industry.

For four consecutive years, ISSA has hosted National Cleaning Week at the end of March. Based on the event’s tremendous success in the United States, this year ISSA is expanding the reach of this week-long event to also highlight the industry’s positive impact on the economy as well as the value of clean as it relates to improving public health.

“ISSA is thrilled to build on the success of National Cleaning Week by hosting the first International Cleaning Week,” said ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. “This expanded scope reflects the value of clean and importance of cleaning for health worldwide, as well as ISSA’s international reach.”

International Cleaning Week represents a unique opportunity to celebrate the Value of Clean®, raise public awareness, and honor your peers. Supporting cleaning industry companies and organizations can partner with ISSA to further spread public awareness.

This Wednesday, January 31, ISSA will host a free, one-hour webinar offering insight and ideas for organizations to leverage International Cleaning Week in their customer outreach and internal communications. Register at issa.com/ICW2024webinar.

International Cleaning Week offers something for everyone, including:

• Help Us Make It Official – Located in the U.S.? Help ISSA by submitting a proclamation to designate an official week of cleaning for your state and/or city.

• Education – During International Cleaning Week, ISSA will offer membership and educational resource discounts as well as exclusive learning opportunities.
• Philanthropy– Cleaning for a Reason is an ISSA Charities™ signature program that provides clean homes for cancer patients. International Cleaning Week is the perfect time for individuals to donate and for organizations to become corporate partners.
