Of course we will also bring you all the latest news and information from across the industry. Hello and welcome to the first issue of the brand new Cleaning Hygiene Today. CHT has been on hiatus for over two years so you could call this a re-launch, but with a brand new layout, style and website, based on sister magazine FMJ, you could just as easily consider this a brand new magazine. We are looking to build on the success of FMJ over the last couple of years, bringing you the very latest news, information and updates from across the cleaning industry. On top of this we will bring you several features and interviews every month providing insight, opinion, and, occasionally, provocation to the sector at large. Over the course of the first few issues we will be covering topics as diverse and varied as the history of cleaning, old wives tales and the effect of bad weather on cleaning. These will mingle with more technical articles on cleaning data centres, London’s buses and hygiene in food manufacturing. This debut edition is the culmination of several months hard work and dedication on behalf of the entire team here at CHT. We hope you enjoy the content inside and everything you find on our new website, now online.
