Professional Cleaners' Association (PCA)

PCA has been in the forefront of the fight against bait and switch advertising since 1980. The group has lobbied the United States Congress for changes in obsolete labor laws that affect the cleaning industry. Ongoing programs promote good corporate citizenship in matters of employee safety, environmental concerns and especially proper wastewater disposal.

Founded in June of 1980, PCA was the brainchild of sixty professional cleaners who wanted an exclusive organization to represent those with the highest standards in the industry. Membership has grown to include companies in all fifty states, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, South America, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom.

Systems owners who have achieved certification through Bane-Clene Institute with a passing grade of at least eighty percentile are awarded complimentary membership in the association. The candidates must sign a “Pledge of Integrity” and subscribe to a uniform code of ethics and conduct in order to maintain their status.
