For decades, clean industry manufacturers and suppliers’ exhibited at several shows annually. This proved to be time-consuming and expensive as well. Then, in the mid-1970s, three top cleaning industry associations came together and considered consolidating dry cleaning, laundry, and textile services industry under one ambit. Joining forces, they created a show that came to deliver the unity the industry looked to for long.
In the year 1977, their efforts attracted the focus of three top sponsors who joined it. They jointly termed it as ‘The World Educational Congress For Laundry & Dry Cleaning’. Later it came to be better known as ‘The Clean Show’.
The show by 1992 had evolved significantly in presence as well as size. This compelled The Coin Laundry Association which until then managed the show and other sponsoring associations to seek professional management services. An Atlanta-based Trade Show Management & Consulting company, Riddle & Associates was hired subsequently to produce ‘Clean 93’.
Now in its 47th year, the show has become North America’s largest expo for dry cleaning, laundering, textile care services, and equipment. It is where the global industry comes together every year. From store owners to institutional laundry managers, consultants, distributors, technicians, plant operators, and buyers, the show attracts a large number of people from across the world. The show is where the business owners and executives converge on a single platform to come face-to-face with thousands of industry exhibitors.
The next edition (47th) of the most highly awaited trade show in the industry, in the United States will take place in August, 2025.
