The Cleaning and Support Services Association (CSSA) has published its public affairs manifesto for this year, outlining a clear commitment to improvements in cleanliness standards, health, and economic recovery from the industry to the United Kingdom.

A focus on the importance on cleaning for health, professionalizing the workforce, improvements in sustainability and commitment to safety are all pointed out in the document as reasons to support the cleaning industry.

The CSSA encourages all its members to communicate the importance of keeping the cleaning industry in mind when making their choices in the local elections this week. Further, it urges Members of Parliament to keep cleaning at the top of the agenda.
