Top 10 CMM Daily News Briefs of 2020

It’s simple to sum up industry news in 2020 in one word: COVID-19.

As the threat of the novel coronavirus became clear last January, CMM readily shared the news as the first U.S. cases were confirmed that month in Seattle, Washington. As the virus rapidly spread, it was soon obvious that cleaning workers would be on the front lines of the quickly evolving pandemic and would need to be prepared to help businesses, schools, shops, grocery stores, and restaurants meet new public health and safety measures.

With a new laser focus on cleaning for health and not just for appearance, cleaning businesses had to quickly adapt to meet new expectations and requirements to combat the coronavirus from spreading in indoor environments. These new developments fueled a record amount of website traffic to CMMOnline.com in 2020 as industry professionals looked for ways to stay informed and improve their skillsets.
