Where does Thank Your Cleaner Day come from?

Thank Your Cleaner Day first occurred in New Zealand in 2015, led by the local trade organization for Building Services Contractors (BSCNZ) in cooperation with Kärcher. BSCNZ has a strong network with the companies who provide professional cleaning services in the workplace arena. Thus, through their engagement, word about the Thank Your Cleaner Day spread widely and the Thank Your Cleaner day was a great success. In 2017, BSCNZ CEO Lillian Small was recognized for her effort in celebrating the unsung heroes of the cleaning industry at the “Cleaning for a Brighter Future” conference.

Together with similar local partners from participating countries, Kärcher looks to establish Thank Your Cleaner Day on a global level.
