As the industry advances in technology and innovation, the guiding principle of cleaning for health must remain in focus. A “health-first” approach ensures that building service contractors and in-house facility providers adopt cleaning strategies that protect building inhabitants.

Health First, a free webinar presented by Cleaning & Maintenance Management, will provide strategies for starting—or enhancing—a cleaning for health program.

During this fast-paced, one-hour interactive session, you will learn:
  • The real-world definition of “cleaning for health”
  • The scientific evidence that proves cleaning keeps building occupants healthy
  • Cleaning strategies that allow you to focus on health as a priority
  • The importance of including air quality improvement in your cleaning for health initiative
  • Tips for identifying and preventing frequent cleaning oversights
  • Methods for promoting cleaning for health concepts

Come prepared for a dedicated Q&A session, where you can ask the panelists your most challenging questions.
