May 29, 2006—Procter & Gamble Professional and Tennant Co. have each pledged $50,000 to the Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI), joining ISSA and Kaivac, to underwrite CIRI’s Scientific Advisory Council, a permanent committee that provides guidance, advice, and analysis on principles, concepts and research related to cleaning science, says CIRI.
Both P&G Professional and Tennant have been involved with CIRI since the Institute was conceived in 2004. As a manufacturer of P&G Pro Line, a complete line of janitorial and sanitation products designed to increase productivity, Procter & Gamble Professional knows the importance of a well-cleaned facility.
The Council’s primary objectives for 2006/2007 are to properly define “cleaning,” identify the objectives and reasons for cleaning, and highlight their importance and value; assemble and examine the most relevant science-based cleaning information; conduct a workshop and prepare a comprehensive “State of Cleaning Science” assessment for industry review and publication.
CIRI’s vision is to raise the awareness of the importance of cleaning through scientific research. For more information, or to join the Institute, visit the Web site.
