After more than 20 years, Jancast remains the first and longest-running podcast dedicated to the Jan/San industry. Over the years, we had thousands of downloads from professionals around the world.

When we launched, Jancast was audio-only, but in January 2013 we made the leap to video—and we’ve been evolving ever since. Fun fact: in our very first year, we won the 2005 ISSA Innovation Award.

In this milestone episode, my co-host Mark Warner and I take a look back at where we started, how far the industry has come, and what’s ahead. We hope you enjoy the recap!

In this episode, we talk about the coming Jancast # 200 and some new innovative cleaning technologies that are being developed or already here. We cover in detail Translational Resonance Cleaning and Probiotic Cleaners.

After my six-minute intro, for Jancast number one we got down to business with Mark and I actually talking about the ISSA trade show. From a technical standpoint, I apparently erased the real number two show, so we're calling this number two even though it's actually number three. Back then we recorded the shows on a digital recoding deck with microphones, no video, we got that around 2011. Even if you could do video there was no Youtube. We had to do some pretty tricky stuff to get the show in a stream-able state

This week we’re digging into how the recent immigration crackdown is affecting the janitorial and commercial cleaning workforce. With more enforcement actions, heavier fines, and fewer workers willing to show up, companies across the country are feeling the pressure..

In this episode, I use Notebook LM to review the recent staffing and funding changes taking place in the CDC and EPA. Our AI- Co-host explains the changes and possible impact.

Perhaps it is a coincidence that, following recent changes at Safer Choice, Green Seal has debuted its inaugural Standards Steering Committee. We will see how this all plays out.

Labor Day weekend Jancast replay- #161 - Jan 16, 2024

We are taking this week off and have posted this replay concerning Electrostatic Sprayers (remember them)-

After the last Jancast (#160), where we talked about electrostatic sprayers, we were contacted by Steve Cooper of ByoPlanet, who has been working with these devices since the 80’s.. We chatted with him and learned a lot, so we decided he would be a great guest for our Jancast audience. Thanks to Steve, we now know why most of the units out there do not work. Self-serving plug, our products work well through their units

In this episode, we go back to the late 80s and early 90s to see how those M&A's compare to what we are seeing in 2025. Does anyone remember Amsan and Unisource?

We just rolled into August 2025 and thought it'd be a good week to play a replay from 2020, back when we were just starting to deal with COVID and all the false claims that started to come out. Check out this show that called out Southwest Airlines and much more
