The janitorial industry in the United States is a large and growing sector of the economy. In 2022, the industry generated $89.7 billion in revenue, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.2% over the next five years. The industry is highly fragmented, with a large number of small and medium-sized businesses competing for market share. However, there are also a number of large, national companies that play a significant role in the industry.
The janitorial industry is driven by a number of factors, including economic growth, population growth, and the increasing demand for clean and sanitary environments. The industry is also benefiting from the trend of outsourcing non-core functions, such as cleaning, to third-party providers.
The janitorial industry faces a number of challenges, including rising labor costs, competition from low-cost providers, and the need to comply with a variety of regulations. However, the industry is also well-positioned for growth, as the demand for cleaning services is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
The following are some of the key trends that are shaping the janitorial industry in the United States:
The growth of the service economy: The service economy is a major driver of growth for the janitorial industry. As the economy grows, businesses and consumers demand more services, including cleaning services.
The increasing demand for clean and sanitary environments: The public is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of clean and sanitary environments. This is driving demand for janitorial services in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, and office buildings.
The trend of outsourcing non-core functions: Businesses are increasingly outsourcing non-core functions, such as cleaning, to third-party providers. This trend is benefiting the janitorial industry, as it provides businesses with a cost-effective way to get their cleaning needs met.
The rise of green cleaning practices: Green cleaning practices are becoming increasingly popular, as businesses and consumers look for ways to reduce their environmental impact. The janitorial industry is responding to this trend by offering green cleaning services.
The janitorial industry is a dynamic and growing sector of the economy. The industry is well-positioned for continued growth in the coming years, as the demand for cleaning services continues to grow.

Americans Are Poisoning Themselves in Their Rush to Fight Virus

Consumers inhale and ingest cleaning products at alarming rate
Spike in cases comes amid rush to disinfect surfaces, food

When and How Will the Coronavirus Pandemic End?
Poisonings related to cleaners and disinfectants surged in the U.S. last month as the global pandemic spurred a haphazard rush to disinfect everything.

Calls to state and local poison control centers tied to cleaners and disinfectants rose 20% in the first quarter to 45,550, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Complaints included shortness of breath from inhalation and dizziness and vomiting from ingestion.

Update: Trump’s idea to inject disinfectant alarms medical experts

“Calls to poison centers increased sharply at the beginning of March 2020 for exposures to both cleaners and disinfectants,” according to the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. While the increase affected all age groups, children 5 and under were disproportionately impacted.

One adult woman described in the report developed breathing difficulties and wheezing after filling her sink with 10% bleach solution, vinegar, and hot water to soak her produce. That led to a noxious odor and then an ambulance ride to the emergency room to get oxygen and broncho-dilators. The woman improved after a few hours.

In another case, a preschool-age child swallowed an unknown amount of ethanol-based hand sanitizer. She got dizzy, fell and hit her head, and then vomited on the way to the ER. Her blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit for driving in most states. She recovered after two days in the hospital.

To prevent chemical exposures, “users should always read and follow directions on the label, only use water at room temperature for dilution (unless stated otherwise on the label), avoid mixing chemical products, wear eye and skin protection, ensure adequate ventilation, and store chemicals out of the reach of children,” the report concludes.

.a. Do not perform disinfectant fogging for routine purposes in patient-care areas.
Environmental Fogging [December 2009]
Clarification Statement: CDC and HICPAC have recommendations in both 2003 Guidelines for Environmental Infection Control in Health-Care Facilities and the 2008 Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities that state that the CDC does not support disinfectant fogging. Specifically, the 2003 and 2008 Guidelines state:

2003: “Do not perform disinfectant fogging for routine purposes in patient-care areas. Category IB”
2008: “Do not perform disinfectant fogging in patient-care areas. Category II”
These recommendations refer to the spraying or fogging of chemicals (e.g., formaldehyde, phenol-based agents, or quaternary ammonium compounds) as a way to decontaminate environmental surfaces or disinfect the air in patient rooms. The recommendation against fogging was based on studies in the 1970’s that reported a lack of microbicidal efficacy (e.g., use of quaternary ammonium compounds in mist applications) but also adverse effects on healthcare workers and others in facilities where these methods were utilized. Furthermore, some of these chemicals are not EPA-registered for use in fogging-type applications.

These recommendations do not apply to newer technologies involving fogging for room decontamination (e.g., ozone mists, vaporized hydrogen peroxide) that have become available since the 2003 and 2008 recommendations were made. These newer technologies were assessed by CDC and HICPAC in the 2011 Guideline for the Prevention and Control of Norovirus Gastroenteritis Outbreaks in Healthcare Settings, which makes the recommendation:

“More research is required to clarify the effectiveness and reliability of fogging, UV irradiation, and ozone mists to reduce norovirus environmental contamination. (No recommendation/unresolved issue)”

The 2003 and 2008 recommendations still apply; however, CDC does not yet make a recommendation regarding these newer technologies. This issue will be revisited as additional evidence becomes available
