Share

Three windows cleaned in 31 seconds, a day dedicated to cleaning in military facilities, and a live demonstration showing how to clean a hotel room in just a few minutes without compromising quality. This is what the fifth anniversary edition of Cleaning Expo has in store, bringing together the professional cleaning industry for the largest event of its kind in Poland. From October 13–14, 2026, more than 90 exhibitors will showcase their offerings at the Poznań Congress Center at MTP Poznań EXPO, with visitors able to see equipment in real-world operation.

Window Cleaning Against the Clock: The Fight for the Golden Squeegee

This is one of the attractions that draws even people with no connection to the industry. Cleaning Expo will once again host the Polish Professional Window Cleaning Championships.

During the first edition, the winner cleaned three windows in 31 seconds. This year, competitors will once again face off in a contest where speed, precision, and technique all count. The prize is the championship title and the “Golden Squeegee” trophy.

UNGER and BRAVOS are the official partners of the competition, with Poznań-based Fabryka Okien i Drzwi MIROX serving as a partner.

Day One Dedicated to the Military and Defense Industry

The topic of the first day of Cleaning Forum may come as a surprise at a trade fair focused on cleaning: the entire day will be dedicated to the military sector and defense industry.

Discussions will cover cleaning and maintenance in military facilities, training grounds, and workshops, as well as the procurement of equipment, tools, and cleaning chemicals. The program will also address the Ministry of National Defense’s new procurement policy and how companies can cooperate with the defense sector and compete for contracts serving the needs of the military.

The Hotel Zone: A Room Cleaned Live in Front of the Audience

The second day will focus on the hospitality industry and the residential cleaning market. In the Hotel Zone, designed to look like a real hotel room, staff will demonstrate live how to organize their work and reduce cleaning time without compromising quality, as well as which tools can help improve efficiency.

Kärcher is the partner of the day, while the Polish Chamber of Hotel Industry provides industry patronage for the zone.

A separate session prepared by the Polish Association of Cleaning Companies will offer small businesses practical advice on attracting customers and promoting their services with a limited budget.

Laundry Services and Award-Winning Innovations

A major new feature of the anniversary edition is the expanded presence of the professional laundry sector, including companies specializing in commercial laundry services and laundry equipment such as Delta-Tech, ASKO, Miele, Clovin, Profitrade, and Buzil.

This reflects the needs of hotels, food service businesses, and healthcare facilities.

Six Cleaning Expo Gold Medals were also awarded. Among the recognized solutions are a probiotic odor neutralizer, a mobile Kärcher system for producing drinking water, and a menstrual product dispenser presented as an example of accessible and inclusive hygiene.
