Cleaning Week to Honor Critical Role of Industry

ROSEMONT, IL -- The cleaning industry's critical role in protecting public health and boosting economic impact is the theme of this year’s International Cleaning Week, an event hosted by ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, to be held March 23-29.

The event is designed to introduce innovative new resources that empower cleaning-industry professionals globally.

For five consecutive years, ISSA has hosted this celebration at the end of March. This year, it will expand engagement opportunities by featuring new resources designed to showcase the cleaning industry's critical role in protecting public health and boosting economic impact.

"International Cleaning Week 2025 represents a transformative moment for our industry," said ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. "The new Spotless Spaces Competition, enhanced partnership toolkit, and comprehensive programming provide significant opportunities for our industry to demonstrate its value and impact."

International Cleaning Week 2025 offers multiple new engagement pathways, including:
•     Spotless Spaces Competition – This exclusive ISSA-member benefit allows cleaning and facilities teams to showcase their exceptional environments on a global stage. Members can nominate their spaces by February 14 to highlight their critical work in maintaining clean, safe, healthy facilities.

•     Comprehensive Partnership Toolkit – This expanded resource features branded graphics, pre-written social media content, and e-newsletter templates to help organizations maximize their International Cleaning Week participation.

On February 5, ISSA will host a free, one-hour webinar outlining the new resources and strategies for members to leverage International Cleaning Week. Register at https://events.issa.com/events/how-to-leverage-international-cleaning-week-2025/.

"We are especially grateful to our International Cleaning Week Supporting Sponsors—Tork, an Essity Brand, and BradyPLUS—for their critical partnership in elevating our industry's profile," said ISSA Director of Government Affairs John Nothdurft. "As our Supporting Sponsors for International Cleaning Week and Presenting and Supporting Sponsors, respectively, for the 2025 ISSA Clean Advocacy Summit, these organizations demonstrate exceptional commitment to showcasing the value of professional cleaning on a global stage."

As the culminating celebration of International Cleaning Week, ISSA will host the Clean Advocacy Summit on March 31-April 1 in Washington, D.C. This premier Capitol Hill fly-in event empowers attendees with advocacy training and direct access to congressional delegations.

The summit provides a unique opportunity for industry professionals to engage with policymakers and advance the interests of the cleaning and facility solutions industry.
