Erasmus+ project

„CleanMind Initiative“

The international project “CleanMind Initiative” will take place from 2025 to 2027. Three countries are participating in the project – Estonia, Finland, and Sweden. The aim of the project is to develop and test performance-based cleaning that is grounded in actual needs, scientific research, and environmentally sustainable principles.
As part of the project, various learning materials will be created to provide guidance for cleaning service providers, trainers, and service purchasers. These materials will focus on implementing effective cleaning methods, using resources efficiently, and applying ESG principles in everyday work.

Erasmus+ project

„Cleaning Ergonomics – to Prevent Occupational Diseases and Accidents“

The international project “Cleaning Ergonomics – to Prevent Occupational Diseases and Accidents” began in the autumn of 2021 and runs for three years. Four countries are participating in the project — in addition to Estonia, also Hungary, the Netherlands, and Finland. Through this project, we aim to raise awareness of the most common causes of occupational accidents and diseases in the cleaning sector. Our goal is to make the industry more conscious of existing hazards and risks.
The project seeks to provide practical solutions for preventing and avoiding the 20 most common factors causing occupational diseases and work-related accidents, presented through simple educational films. To ensure the effectiveness of the training, we also offer a training program and a brief methodological description for the prevention of the 20 most significant issues.

„Safe and Effective Cleaning in Pandemic Situation“

The international project “Safe and Effective Cleaning in Pandemic Situation” began in the autumn of 2021 and runs for three years. The idea for the project arose when Puhastusekspert OÜ was involved in developing cleaning guidelines in Estonia in cooperation with the Health Board. There is great potential and many opportunities in teaching, developing, and raising awareness about cleaning to ensure people’s health and to make cleaning efforts more effective and appropriate. However, achieving this is beyond the capacity of a single organization and requires collaboration partners.

We therefore sought international partners who share an active interest in making the world a better place through advancements in this field.

„Cost Effective, Need Based Cleaning – INSTA800“

The international project “Cost Effective, Need Based Cleaning INSTA800” began in 2019 and concluded in October 2022. Despite the challenges and restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we can confidently say that the project was highly successful for both Puhastusekspert OÜ and all its partners.
Together, we were able to create and discover new knowledge and methods, adding value to the INSTA800 standard for its users.
