VANCOUVER, Wash. (January 17, 2008) – The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (www.IICRC.org) has partnered with The Housekeeping Channel (www.HousekeepingChannel.com) to further educate consumers seeking information for their home cleaning and restoration needs.

The Housekeeping Channel provides consumers with information that help them clean, protect and enhance their home environment using proven processes and practices from cleaning experts, environmental service professionals, doctors and scientists, and organizational and time-management consultants. Experts featured on the site have earned a reputation for no-nonsense advice and practical wisdom.
The IICRC will collaborate on 12 articles to be published on the site in 2008, each focusing on a relevant topic featuring an IICRC expert. The articles will allow consumers to benefit from Housekeeping Channel information based on IICRC technical standards and literature. Additionally, links to the IICRC consumer Web site, www.CertifiedCleaners.org will be featured throughout the site.
“The Housekeeping Channel is pleased to associate itself with the exceptional depth of expertise represented by the IICRC,” said Allen P.
