The Housekeeping Channel (HC) is pleased to be working with The International Executive Housekeepers Association (IEHA) and Wiley Publishing, Inc. to research and publish a new For Dummies® book -  Infection Control For Dummies - authored by IEHA President J. Darrel Hicks and slated for publication in early Summer 2008. The custom mini-book will be designed as a concise, authoritative guide to preventing and controlling infectious illness at home and work.  

The content, written in the friendly Dummies style, will be reviewed for technical accuracy by leading microbiologists, healthcare practitioners, and housekeeping experts. The publication is being made possible by generous funding by Spartan Chemical, Maumee, OH, and with the support of IEHA membership.

The book will be made available as a public service for a small shipping and handling fee. Supplies are limited. Pre-orders are being taken by IEHA. Contact Beth Risinger at brisinger@ieha.org.
