The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) has announced the rollout of Healthy Returns, its free online toolkit for small businesses and offices. The guide offers reminders on hygiene, cleaning, and disinfecting to keep workplaces healthy and safe as they endeavour to reopen.

The ACI toolkit includes resources such as checklists to help guide internal assessments; posters and handouts to encourage and educate employees on proper disinfecting protocols in shared spaces; and decals for businesses to display reinforcing their dedication to cleanliness and health.

“For years, the American Cleaning Institute has been dedicated to sharing information on the safe and proper use of cleaning and hygiene products,” said Melissa Hockstad, ACI president and CEO, in a statement. “As businesses and offices gradually reopen in stages during the global pandemic, we want to provide them with the tools they need to help guide their daily cleaning and hygiene routines. We know it’s important to show their employees and their customers that they are committed to proper cleaning, hygiene and health.”

Though the Healthy Returns program is focused on supporting the reopening process for businesses, the program will also launch key guidance on cleaning and disinfecting protocols for schools that plan to reopen later in the year.
