Thank Your Cleaner Day

DENVER, Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Thank Your Cleaner Day is a special day, once a year, dedicated to all cleaners. Cleaning is one of the most important industries in the world, yet most of the people undertaking this important work are invisible to you. Every day, skilled hard-working cleaning staffs are onsite to ensure your premises are ready to go for the next business day. Tens of thousands of cleaners work day, night and weekends to keep your working and living environments clean, safe and hygienic, and all too often, without much thanks.

It's time to stop and think about our cleaners and recognize the hard work they do, often under the radar of normal working hours and often out of sight. In 2015, Thank Your Cleaner Day was conducted for the first time in New Zealand by the local trade organization for Building Service Contractors (BSCNZ) and Kärcher, to take the opportunity to thank the people who keep workplaces clean, safe and hygienic. Together, with local partner BSCAI and others, Kärcher has been establishing the Thank Your Cleaner Day on a global level to recognize the hard-working cleaners around the world, who often work outside office hours and therefore out of sight.

Now your business has the opportunity to get involved this year on October 17, 2018 and give thanks and appreciation where it is truly due. With 15 countries now participating, businesses and office workers who use a contract cleaning company can let their onsite cleaning staff know they recognize and value their work – by leaving them a note, giving them a little gift or just saying "Thank you!"

"As a leading, global-cleaning equipment and technology company, we recognize the importance of building service contractors and the opportunity to further enhance the awareness and recognition of those efforts in this industry," states Javier Gonzalez, CEO of Kärcher Region North America.
