ISSA, the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, has launched Angry Janitors, a new mobile game for the cleaning industry. The game is a free app designed to educate players on hygiene awareness while keeping them engaged and entertained.

Angry Janitors offers a number of facts and tips on the true value of proper cleaning.The gameplay features three stages (The School, The Office and The Hospital), each with 10 levels. King Dirt, King Germ, and their unwelcome cast of filthy underlings have invaded these facilities, causing students, workers, patients, and staff to get sick. It’s up to the player to help the janitors—Sweepy, Squirt and Speedster—eliminate dirt and germs at each level.

“While Angry Janitors is intended to be entertaining for players of all ages, the game also helps to change the way the world views cleaning by promoting the importance of clean and healthy environments and the crucial role that cleaning professionals play in facilities worldwide,” says Jon Adkins, ISSA Web communications director.

Developed for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android smartphones and tablets, the Angry Janitors game is available for download at www.issa.com/angry or by searching “Angry Janitors” in the iTunes App Store or Google Play. The timing of the release of Angry Janitors is fitting, as smartphones surpassed laptops as the primary  wifi device in 2013, representing 40 percent of all connections compared to 36 percent for laptops. According to a 2011 study by Biz Tech Day, about 64 percent of smartphone owners use their devices for gaming.
