Celebrate National Cleaning Week:
March 28 Thru April 4th

Every year, the fourth week of March is National Cleaning Week, an opportunity to raise public awareness about the value of clean and the important, positive impact cleaning has on public health, the environment, and our economy. March is also reserved on our calendars as a time to put away our winter essentials and tidy up our homes in preparation for spring, otherwise known as spring cleaning.  

Regular house cleaning is essential to good health, and according to health professionals, controlling allergens in the home can significantly reduce symptoms for the millions of people who suffer from allergies or asthma. “Whether we deep-clean periodically or do more frequent light cleaning, what’s most important is that we keep our families safer and healthier by removing germs, dirt, and allergens that can build up,” says Brian Sansoni, American Cleaning Institute (ACI) Vice President of Communication. 

Overall cleaning time can be reduced without sacrificing cleanliness by practicing habits that can help keep households ahead of the mess such as:

• Minimize clutter, which allows fewer places for dust and allergens to accumulate.
• Avoid spreading dirt and germs in the home by washing hands regularly and wiping shoes on entryway rugs or mats.
• Keep kitchen and bathroom surfaces clean and dry to reduce mold and mildew.
• Promptly wipe up spills and clean up crumbs.

Celebrating ‘National Cleaning Week’ with a spring cleaning 

Cold weather is starting to break and it’s that time of year again for some good old fashion spring cleaning. That being said, attempting to clean a dirty house after the long winter months can often feel like an overwhelming task. Make it easier on yourself by writing a to-do list of what needs to be cleaned and what day it should be done. Breaking your list down step-by-step will help you recognize the areas that should be a higher priority.

Try separating your to-do list one step further by focusing your cleaning tasks on one room at a time, and don’t move on until you’ve accomplished cleaning the entire space. By designating one day for the kitchen and living spaces and another for bedrooms and bathrooms, your household cleaning tasks will feel a lot more manageable. 

When tackling each room in your home, start high and work your way to the floor. Many people overlook dusty ceiling fans, hanging lights, and air vents, so start by wiping down each of these fixtures. Next, wash the windows, blinds, doors, and doorframes until you reach the floor. Once you begin wiping the baseboards, cleaning the corners of cobwebs, and vacuuming, you will collect any extra dust and grime that might have fallen off of higher places as you clean down low.

Dust, dirt, and grime have a way of accumulating under living room furniture, beds, and appliances, which are also attractive places for pests to hide. Avoid missing hard-to-reach spaces by moving your furniture and appliances around to check for hidden dust bunnies and other unpleasant surprises. By staying organized and following a schedule, we can usher in the long-awaited spring season while making the task of spring cleaning a lot less daunting.  

Celebrating ‘National Cleaning Week’ with #KnowTheLabel   

Cleaning products play an essential role in our daily lives. By safely and effectively removing soils, germs, and other contaminants, they help us to stay healthy, care for our homes and possessions, and make our surroundings more pleasant. The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) is celebrating National Cleaning Week by bringing attention to cleaning product labels with #KnowTheLabel. 

ACI recently unveiled a “How to Read a Cleaning Product Label” resource, which breaks down the elements of a cleaning product label into four main categories: directions, caution warnings, ingredients, and storage and disposal instructions. Cleaning product labels contain more information than ever before. 

A growing number of cleaning product companies and brands are using SmartLabel. This information is available online and frequently also by scanning a QR code on a product. It’s important to read the label before using a cleaning product because they provide instructions and information to ensure safe and effective use.

“National Cleaning Week is a time to highlight the important, positive impact cleaning has on the public’s health,” according to Melissa Hockstad, ACI President and CEO. “With an emphasis on cleaning products during the pandemic, it’s equally important that consumers know how to use these products safely and effectively,” says Hockstad.
