House Cleaning Technician Certification Offers Competitive Advantage for Residential Cleaners

IICRC House Cleaning Technician (HCT) Training & Certification, sponsored by ISSA Residential, is an intensive two-day training into the science of cleaning, dissecting the various surfaces encountered and the chemicals used. In 2024, cleaning professionals have ample opportunity to gain their certification and reach the true master level in cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting.

“I highly recommend this HCT course for your management staff and your house cleaners,” said Marlo Kanipe, owner of Deserved Comfort House Cleaning in Columbia, South Carolina. “It’s a great investment in your company, and it makes your technicians feel like they are true professionals… because after this course, they are!”

In 2024, ISSA is offering opportunities to achieve HCT certification both in person and online. Classes are scheduled for:

• January 18–19 (Hosted by RJ Patel in Kennesaw, Georgia)
• February 22–23 (Virtual)
• April 18–19 (Virtual)
• September 12–13 (Virtual)
• November 20–21 (ISSA Show North America 2024 in Las Vegas)

The HCT Certification validates an individual’s body of knowledge regarding the proper and safe removal of soil (cleaning), sanitizing, and disinfecting. These outcomes can be effectively accomplished through a variety of techniques, cleaning procedures, and solo/team cleaning models.

“This is not an easy class because ours is not an easy job,” added Amber Starling, owner of Good Witch Cleaning Services in Manhattan, Kansas. “This class will prepare you to care for a wide variety of surfaces, fixtures, furnishings, and high-end collectibles. It will teach you professionalism, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards.”
