Did you know that Housekeeping Solutions has two sister publications that also cover the jan/san market? Better yet, did you know that one of those publications is the longest running magazine in the industry?

In May, our sister magazine, Sanitary Maintenance, will celebrate it’s 70th year of delivering valuable information to the jan/san distributor. The milestone will be recognized both in print and online.

You might ask why I bring this up and how it might be relevant to the work you do. Well, sometimes you need to take a look at where you have been in order to accurately gauge where you are going. What better way to do that than digging through 70 years of the jan/san industry?

As you can imagine, such a task would be quite time consuming, so we’ve done it for you. Our staff has spent the last couple months going page by page through every issue published in the last 70 years. We’ve pulled out historic facts that have had a great impact on the industry, trends (some of which have survived the test of time and others that quickly died off), the long-standing and historic relationship we have with ISSA, and hundreds of photos that tell the story of this great industry.

Our Sanitary Maintenance advertisers have also jumped on board and searched their own archives. Flashback ads, mirrored by current day promotions will be featured in this May issue and are bound to spark a few memories.

Because the anniversary issue is only so big, we can’t possibly fit all the images we’d like, so make sure to check out our social feeds on Facebook and Twitter (@cleaning_mag) for regular updates. Then watch CleanLink.com for all the content from the anniversary issue.
