On this day, we celebrate professional cleaners for the adept service they provide to us in creating healthier environments and homes. Did you know regular professional cleaning improves air quality and creates a serene environment that boosts productivity?
History of National Professional House Cleaners Day
National Professional House Cleaners Day was founded by The American House Cleaners Association (AHCA). This campaign was initiated in 2019 in order to increase recognition, appreciation, and acknowledgment for all House Cleaners in the cleaning industry.
House cleaning is generally seen as a meager chore that doesn’t require expertise, skills, and, which is why professional house cleaning is overlooked as a career and doesn’t garner much recognition for its role and impact in creating habitable and cleaner environments.
Gradually, society and individuals have realized cleaning is time-consuming and requires a certain level of expertise and knowledge. People do not have the necessary skills and time to properly cater to their surroundings, thus relying on Professional House Cleaning services.
While not everyone directly hires a Professional Cleaner, they do impact our lives in some way as almost every business we frequent and apartment building requests the service of professional cleaners.
Professional house cleaners have set a trend and provided individuals with alternate means of employment, highlighting the necessary role of cleaning as a professional trade, and not just a menial job. On this day, we celebrate Professional House Cleaners for their attention to detail, organization, efficiency, and for leaving us cleaner homes without the stress.
