What Is Thank Your Cleaner Day? And 2 Free Email Templates

On September 27th, 2016, during the BCCCA monthly luncheon, the British Columbia Contract Cleaners Association joined forces with Karcher Canada to champion and acknowledge the invaluable contributions made by cleaners to our daily lives.

“Thank Your Cleaner Day” was initiated by Karcher in 2015 with the aim of recognizing the often overlooked efforts of cleaners, who predominantly work during the night.

Job satisfaction is crucial, and a lack of appreciation often contributes to high turnover rates in the cleaning industry.

To rectify this, October 16th, 2016, was chosen as the date for “Thank Your Cleaner Day.”

This date was selected strategically to coincide with the busiest period in offices from late September to November, providing maximum exposure for the initiative.

The ripple effect of appreciation can greatly benefit the industry as a whole.

Making Thank Your Cleaner Day a Global Success

Karcher’s global reach, spanning 60 countries, positions them to raise the status of cleaners and increase their perceived value.

Notably, unions are also endorsing this initiative, highlighting the universal desire for recognition.

The key to success lies in generating prime-time coverage and public interest stories. Increased visibility will elevate the profile of building service workers, benefitting the industry economically.

How to Spread the Word

Metropolitan also actively participated in this initiative by sending letters to its customers, spreading the word about this special day and encouraging everyone to show their appreciation for the hardworking cleaners.
