Happy new year! As we gear up for 2020 and all that is new and trending in the world of cleaning, let’s take a quick look down memory lane at the most popular CMM Daily news articles over the last year.

Restaurant cleaning hazards topped the list with news of the death of a Buffalo Wild Wings employee in Massachusetts who tragically mixed cleaning bleach and acid, resulting in a fatal chemical reaction that not only killed him, but also harmed nearly a dozen others. While restaurants and hospitals made the news for their questionable cleaning techniques and negligence, and massive layoffs and worker strikes were reported often, other stories that piqued your interest were indeed more hopeful. The year 2019 brought new rules and regulations in some states that will mean better working conditions and better pay for custodians and other services industry professionals. Now, that is something to celebrate!

As we say goodbye to 2019, we are excited to bring you the latest industry news, information, and solutions to help keep you informed and be the best you can be in 2020. Thanks for reading. Cheers!
