Thank Your Cleaner Day October 17, 2018

The annual Thank Your Cleaner Day will occur on October 17th. This is a day allocated for the recognition of the work and dedication provided by cleaning services providers across this nation. October 17th provides all of us with a special opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to those individuals and organizations that clean our schools, office buildings, factories, public spaces, etc. Without their hard work we would not be able to work and learn within environments that are clean and healthy. Their hard work is too often taken for granted.

Thank Your Cleaner Day provides an official occasion to remedy that.

 Thank Your Cleaner Day - Show Your Appreciation

What are some of the ways in which you can express your gratitude on October 17^th?

• Express your appreciation through a small gift. Set up a lunch for your cleaning staff or set aside a few minutes during the day on the 17th for soft-drinks and snacks.
• Publicly thank your cleaners by posting a message on your social media sites. If possible, post a video to highlight your appreciation.
• If you are a BSC, make your clients aware of Thank Your Cleaner Day. Let them know what steps you will be taking internally to show appreciation to your cleaning operators.
• Print out and post the Thank Your Cleaner Day poster TYCD Poster . Display the poster at a couple of high-visibility locations within your facility.
• Deliver notes of appreciation to all members of your cleaning staff.
• Reach out and deliver a personal "thank you". Few things demonstrate sincere appreciation more than a heart-felt "thank you".

Initiated in 2015 in New Zealand, Thank Your Cleaner Day has rapidly expanded to the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Argentina, and Chile. It is expected that the list will continue to grow over the next few years.

 Be sure to take an opportunity on Thank Your Cleaner Day to demonstrate your appreciation for those individuals who work hard and long, day and night, to provide you with an environment that is clean, attractive, and healthy. Say "thank you" for a job well done!
