Professional cleaning has a significant impact on people’s wellbeing, as its primary aim is a healthy environment. The theme of the 4th International Congress on Professional Cleaning is Cleaning today – Challenges and Solutions. Professional cleaning has many challenges: labour shortage, quality of work, productivity of cleaning work, utilisation of new technologies, new disease causing microbes, sustainability of cleaning services, indoor air problems etc. To these and other challenges we’ll try to find practical solutions. The Finnish Association of Cleaning Technology is pleased to welcome you to this congress to get information of the newest researches and best practices to be able to improve the quality of your own work community and professional cleaning.
