HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., Sept. 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) is celebrating its fifth year of the Behind the Scenes of Clean initiative, a nationwide appreciation program honoring custodians, cleaning professionals, and facility teams. The company will host 11 recognition events across the United States on October 2, ahead of National Custodian Day. These events will personally recognize around 1,250 custodial and facility professionals for their contributions to communities across the country.

Launched in 2022, the Behind the Scenes of Clean initiative has become an annual tradition.

This year, RCP is taking the initiative to a new level, hosting 11 appreciation events in cities such as Mooresville, Atlanta, Orlando, Chicago, and Naples. At each event, local teams will be celebrated for their service and contributions.

For more than 55 years, the company has been dedicated to equipping custodians and facility teams with solutions designed to support their day-to-day work. This year’s initiative is the centerpiece of RCP’s efforts to elevate the often-unseen work of custodial teams and reaffirm its commitment to making a difference in the communities it serves.

RCP’s commitment to the custodial and facility maintenance community extends beyond recognition.
