Recognizing the Unsung Heroes of Our Communities
Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) is on a mission to celebrate the unsung heroes of cleanliness in our communities. As part of its continued recognition efforts, RCP invites us all to participate in their fourth annual Behind the Scenes of Clean campaign. This initiative is focused on honoring those dedicated individuals who ensure our schools, hospitals, and workplaces remain clean, safe, and welcoming.
A Nationwide Appreciation Event
In its fourth year, the Behind the Scenes of Clean campaign coincides with special observances such as National Custodian Day and Environmental Services Week. It serves as a nationwide appreciation platform that recognizes the essential role of custodians and cleaning professionals from all walks of life. Every day, these individuals play a critical role in maintaining the hygiene and overall safety of public spaces.
A Growing Tradition of Gratitude
Initially launched in 2022, this campaign has blossomed into a beloved tradition within the cleaning industry. In 2024 alone, the campaign made significant strides, quadrupling the celebratory events compared to prior years, and reaching out to over 17,000 cleaning professionals. This expansion is a reflection of RCP’s commitment to recognizing the pivotal contributions of cleaning teams nationwide.
What to Expect in 2025
For 2025, RCP has exciting plans that promise to reach an even larger audience, with events honoring over 21,000 cleaning professionals. The campaign will feature appreciation events throughout Environmental Services Week, encompassing product giveaways, meals, and opportunities for engagement with leadership. This year’s events will underscore the importance of acknowledging those who utilize RCP’s products in their daily jobs, reinforcing the commitment to community health and safety.
The Impact of Cleaning Professionals
As Robert Posthauer, President, Home & Commercial – Commercial at Newell Brands, put it, the movement of appreciation represented by Behind the Scenes of Clean is vital. Cleaning and maintenance professionals not only contribute to health and safety but also enhance the quality of life in our communities. RCP is proud to advance this mission and express gratitude to the hardworking individuals on the frontlines of cleanliness.
