Save the Date for National Cleaning Week

ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, is celebrating National Cleaning Week, March 22-28, 2020. The association is offering a myriad of opportunities to get involved in this national recognition of the cleaning industry, its workers, and the value of clean as part of the week-long celebration.

National Cleaning Week celebrates the value of clean and the important, positive impact cleaning has on public health, the environment, and our economy. ISSA has conducted research on how regular and proper cleaning in offices, retail spaces, restaurants, schools, hospitals, and at home can result in significant public health and economic benefits. For example, a clean work environment results in a 2-8% gain in worker productivity and customers strongly prefer to patronize restaurants and stores that are clean. Additionally, there are more than 800,000 businesses nationwide in the cleaning service industry employing 3.5 million workers to keep the places where we work, shop, dine, and live clean.

“As the leading trade association for the cleaning industry worldwide, it’s important we take an active role in promoting the value of clean, advocating on behalf of the industry at the federal and state levels, providing education and training, thanking cleaning service workers, and raising the profile of the cleaning industry,” said John Barrett, ISSA Executive Director. “Together we can change the way the world views cleaning in part by telling our stories and educating the public about the value of clean during National Cleaning Week.”

 ISSA has created a number of opportunities to participate in National Cleaning Week, including the ability to share your stories about the value of clean and how you’re celebrating.
