 » Brought to You By … Cleaning

[American Cleaning Institute. (opens in a new tab)](https://www.cleaninginstitute.org/)
 You can’t get something clean without the right cleaning product. That’s where the American Cleaning Institute comes in. The group began in 1926 as the Association of American Soap and Glycerine Producers, later becoming the Soap and Detergent Association, and eventually evolving into ACI. The organization says it is committed to “promoting the use of scientific concepts and standards” in the cleaning industry. It supports members with education on standards and best practices.

[American House Cleaners Association. (opens in a new tab)](https://housecleanersassociation.org/)
 When it’s time for spring cleaning—or anytime year round—members of the American House Cleaners Association are available to take charge. AHCA helps members grow and nurture their house-cleaning businesses and seeks to raise respect for the profession. AHCA wants the world to know its members are “skilled and vital” professionals who are “changing lives every single day.”

[ISSA–The Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association. (opens in a new tab)](https://www.issa.com/)
 ISSA–The Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, founded in 1923, wants “to change the way the world views cleaning,” so people see it “as an investment in human health, the environment, and an improved bottom line.” The group, previously known as the International Sanitary Supply Association, shed the full name in favor of the acronym alone in 2005. ISSA takes pride in having a wide range of members, including distributors, manufacturers, building service contractors, in-house service providers, and residential cleaners.
