Cleaning Industry Trade Shows
ISSA/INTERCLEAN Amsterdam Show (May 9 to 12, 2006)
It was a great show with over 570 booths and 25,000 attendees from over 120 countries. You really couldn’t ask for much more in a tradeshow. Everyone I spoke to was happy and enjoyed themselves. Many new products, innovations and advancements were on display. Some of the items that caught my eye include: Carbon fiber extension poles for window cleaning, diamond impregnated floor pads for stone polishing, new stand up riding equipment, a growing selection of micro-fiber products and flat mops, I only saw one booth in the entire show that displayed a string mop. Biodegradable products including dust mops, trash bags, and wipers were on display. Anti-microbial treatments were included in dust mops, cleaning cloths, micro-fibers and electric hand dryers. Nano-technology is making its way into the cleaning industry in finish, detergents and coatings. (more…)
