The CHSA – Proud Supporter of the Cleaning Industry

The Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) is proud to support the cleaning and hygiene industry at the Cleaning Show (2-4 November 2021).

The Association is joining the CSSA on Stand C35.

Continuing its support for the industry, the CHSA is:

• Sponsoring the CSSA Innovation Showcase, taking place at the Cleaning Show

• Celebrating cleaners everywhere as the Gold Sponsor of the Kimberley-Clark Golden Service Awards

• An active, founding member of the industry’s All Party Parliamentary Group

• Backing the CSSA’s Clean Start campaign, designed to encourage more people to look at the cleaning industry as a professional career choice

At the heart of the CHSA’s support for the cleaning and hygiene industry is its guarantee of standards. The CHSA operates Accreditation Schemes for manufacturers of paper-based and woven, plastic-based, cotton-based products, and cleaning and hygiene chemicals. It also operates an Accreditation Scheme for Distributors of cleaning & Hygiene products.

Every CHSA member has also signed the Association’s rigorous Code of Practice. It requires members to “maintain a high standard in the conduct of its business”.

The combination of the Code of Practice and Accreditation Scheme membership means every member:

• Trades ethically and sustainably;

• Provides quality, fit for purpose products; and

• Makes sure what’s on the box is what’s in the box.

‘Our Standards. Your Guarantee.’
