What does facility cleaning and maintenance look like in spring 2023? We’ve written a lot over the last few years about sanitation, hygiene, and health and safety as we navigated through unprecedented times, but now it’s time to forge ahead to a brighter future in commercial cleaning.
Our spring 2023 issue of Facility Cleaning and Maintenance features a look at retail and hospitality, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that come with keeping public spaces clean and maintained. We cover how to adopt a common-sense approach to cleaning common areas, emphasizing the shift to new, post-pandemic practices.
We also offer a fresh take on investing in air quality and air-powered washroom technology, as it relates to customer-facing industries. As the weather turns warmer and public spaces become more crowded, hand hygiene and air purification are a topic of discussion, along with the importance of implementing an integrated pest management system for your building.
In our cover story, we take a look at outdoor maintenance with a focus on sustainability, spotlighting the City of Waterloo’s green fleet management program as they lead the way for other municipalities to go greener. We talk about how their fleet management program is benefiting the city and the planet, with eco-friendly initiatives like zero-emission vehicles, solar panels, and detailed reporting.
For our expert Q&A, we share our interview with Rob Scott, executive vice president at Bee-Clean Building Maintenance, diving into the value of membership, designations and their benefits, and what consistency brings to the cleaning industry as a whole.
We also look ahead to the upcoming ISSA Canada Show happening in Toronto on June 14 and 15. This year’s theme is CLEAN: A New Way of Thinking, and with over 200 exhibitors, the show will feature educational opportunities, certification, networking, and more!
This issue highlights key challenges in cleaning and maintenance today and a few of the ways we can look to improve our efforts as we move through spring and summer.
