National Professional House Cleaners Day

National Professional House Cleaners’ Day is an annual holiday dedicated to professional cleaners—those who help us enjoy clean, comfortable homes. It is observed on September 17th.

History

This holiday was established by the American Home Cleaners Association (AHCA) in 2019. Its main goal is to raise awareness of the importance of the cleaning profession in society. Many people mistakenly believe that cleaning is a boring, dirty, and low-prestige job, overlooking its true significance for everyone. Without professional cleaners, our streets and homes would not be as clean or pleasant.

The cleaning profession offers employment opportunities for many people who may not have special education. At a minimum, cleaners must learn how to use cleaning equipment, such as steam cleaners.

National Professional House Cleaners’ Day allows us to express gratitude for this challenging but essential work that keeps society clean and healthy.

Interesting Facts
