Thank Your Cleaner Day
Time to say thank you
We're creating a sensation again – For everyone who wants to remove dust day after day
Subang Jaya, 18 October 2023 – Cleanliness and hygiene are a supporting pillar of modern companies. The Thank Your Cleaner Day (TYCD) has therefore made it its mission to put the focus on the work of cleaners and acknowledge them. Whether in offices or schools – wherever professional cleaners are employed, we want to tell them how much we appreciate their hard work and thank them for their service within the framework of Thank Your Cleaner Day.
On Thank Your Cleaner Day it is mainly about creating awareness – for a job that in general seldom receives the recognition that it deserves. Numerous people all over the world ensure that we can feel at ease in our living and work environments. For Kärcher it is a pleasure to appreciate the work of hard-working cleaners throughout the world together with the global cleaning industry in 2023.
In order to achieve this, Kärcher Malaysia, in collaboration with MYDIN, hosted a memorable event to mark "Thank Your Cleaner Day" at MYDIN USJ, Subang Jaya. This celebration recognizes and values the significant contributions of cleaners, shedding
light on the cleaning industry's professionalism. As part of TYCD, Kärcher also bestowed the esteemed "Cleaning Awards 2023" upon exceptional cleaners, recognizing their outstanding work ethics and adherence to industry best practices.
What is the origin of Thank Your Cleaner Day?
It was introduced in 2015 in New Zealand by the local industry organisation for building service providers (BSCNZ) in cooperation with Kärcher.
