The 90th annual WM Phoenix Open is set to reclaim its title as “The Greatest Show on Grass” from February 3-9 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Renowned for its electric atmosphere, world-class greens, and unmatched people-watching, the tournament has rightfully earned its moniker, “The People’s Open.” This year, organizers are enhancing the fan experience with a renewed emphasis on safety and sustainability, and at the heart of these efforts is Jani-King Arizona, the trusted cleaning crew behind the event’s pristine reputation.
Managing over 1 million square feet of event space is no small feat, but Jani-King Arizona has risen to the challenge year after year. In 2024, the Jani-King team scrubbed 60,000 feet of hardwood flooring at the iconic 16th hole, kept 18 suites spotless, and coordinated a cleaning force that included 75-night crew members, 13-day porters, and nine team leaders. Armed with 8,000 feet of extension cords, 84 headlamps, and eco-friendly tools such as HEPA filter vacuums, the team demonstrated its ability to handle massive messes with precision — and they’re ready to do it all again in 2025.
Sustainability remains a cornerstone of Jani-King’s approach. The company’s HEPA filter vacuums deep clean surfaces while removing 99.97% of dust, mold, and bacteria, to improve air quality for attendees. Green-certified cleaning products, free of ozone-depleting volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensure the health and safety of event goers and the environment. In addition, Jani-King employs alternatives like hydrogen peroxide disinfectants to minimize harmful toxins while maintaining the highest sanitation standards.
“Ensuring clean air and a pristine environment isn’t just a goal — it’s a responsibility,” said Julie Robinson, President of Jani-King Arizona. “Our eco-first approach aligns perfectly with the Waste Management Phoenix Open’s commitment to sustainability.”
As a leader in green initiatives, the Phoenix Open sets the standard for environmentally responsible large-scale events. Jani-King’s innovative cleaning techniques and meticulous waste management practices further support these efforts, ensuring the tournament’s environmental impact is minimized without sacrificing its high-energy appeal.
Fans can look forward to the same thrilling experience they’ve come to expect from “The People’s Open,” but with an even greater focus on sustainability and safety. Thanks to Jani-King Arizona’s expertise and dedication, this year’s tournament will once again be a shining example of how world-class events can seamlessly combine entertainment with eco-conscious practices.
