Whereas essential frontline cleaning professionals work tirelessly to keep our schools, hospitals, workplaces, and other spaces healthy and safe for us all: Now, therefore, be it
That the House of Representatives—

(2)
supports the designation of  National Cleaning Week  to continue to promote safe and clean environments at work, in schools, and at home.
