It’s time to recognize your hardworking custodians… it’s International Cleaning Week!!!

Michigan to Recognize Cleaning Week:

International Cleaning Week is March 23-29, 2025. The week represents a unique opportunity to celebrate the value of clean, honor essential frontline cleaning industry professionals, and raise public awareness about the importance of creating healthy indoor environments for people to live, work, learn, and play. The celebration occurs annually during the last full week of March.
Working with ISSA, the worldwide cleaning and facility solutions industry association, GRBS's Director of Marketing & Business Development, Heather East encouraged Governor Whitmer to officially recognize March 23-29, 2025, as Cleaning Week in Michigan in conjunction with International Cleaning Week. Governor Whitmer signed the official proclamation on March 19, 2025.

According to ISSA, cleaned and disinfected surfaces reduce virus concentration by 41.7%; when combined with hand hygiene, this increases to 85.4%. Additionally, cleanliness reduces instances of absenteeism and presenteeism in the workplace, which negatively impact productivity. Companies lose $8.9 trillion when employees are not fully functioning at work due to illness, injury, or another condition.
