About the European Cleaning Days

The European Cleaning Days (ECD) take place from May until November 2017 across several European countries to raise awareness of hygiene and cleanliness among the general public. The ECD aims at educating and sensitizing people regarding the necessity to preserve cleanliness.

During the European Cleaning Days we organize an extensive range of awareness-raising campaigns and initiatives across Europe that involve people of various age groups and professions. Our activities, among others, include school visits with lectures on cleaning, tours for pupils and students, open days in cleaning related manufactories, exhibitions, and "cleaning in action" on public squares and streets.

Herr Asch

Cleanliness – a basic necessity in society

"Cleaning is an integral part of our everyday lives, and lays the ground for a healthy, progressive and prospering society. There are areas in every single life where cleaning is crucial – moreover, it is a basic need! But despite its tremendous importance, it plays a subordinate role in perception and is sometimes not appreciated enough as the public is often not really aware of the performance and results of the many people working in the industry. The European Cleaning Days help to raise the value of cleaning and to make the achievement of the millions of cleaners visible. This is complemented by the aspect of sustainability that is gaining acceptance around the world as a societal megatrend, and the same can be said of hygiene and health. These subjects represent the core of cleaning. With the European Cleaning Days, we have a great opportunity to high-
light these topics in outward communication – in the interest of changing perceptions. I am pleased that we from Kärcher will have our share in the 2017's initiative!", says Markus Asch, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG.
