States Issue Proclamation for Cleaning Week

Is your state or city commemorating National Cleaning Week? Idaho Governor Brad Little joins 10 other governors and one mayor in issuing  a proclamation officially declaring March 27 through April 2 to be Cleaning Week.

Governor Little signed the proclamation this past weekend at a ceremony hosted at the Museum of Clean in Pocatello, Idaho. ISSA Director of Government Affairs John Nothdurft and museum founder Don Aslett also attended the event. Nothdurft and ISSA have been working with all 50 states for three years to designate a Clean Awareness Week as part of National Cleaning Week. Other states adopting the proclamation this year include Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas, as well as the city of Chicago.

“The people that were having to keep schools clean, hospitals clean, public spaces clean, they were unsung heroes during the last 24 months,” said Little. “Every night, when you leave a public space, a hospital, a school, there’s somebody in there cleaning and they don’t get a lot of credit.”
