The Program
Recognizing Excellence Among the Women of Clean
CleanLink’s first annual Women of Clean recognizes the significant contributions women are making in the commercial cleaning industry. The program is open to women contributing at any level and within any facility type — from distribution, in-house facility and environmental services, and building service contracting to manufacturing and consulting. Our goal is to recognize the women who make a positive difference in their company, department, or team and are viewed by peers, colleagues, supervisors, and clients as rising stars in the cleaning industry.

The 2026 honorees will be announced on CleanLink.com in December, followed by exposure in the CleanLink Daily Newsletter, across all CleanLink social feeds, and in the new CleanLink Interactive publication.
