Bringing together manufacturers, distributors, facilities professionals, and industry bodies, the exhibition provided an excellent platform to explore emerging technologies, strengthen relationships, and gain insight into the priorities shaping the future of cleaning.
Across the exhibition floor, exhibitors showcased a wide range of solutions spanning cleaning chemicals, machinery, digital technologies, and operational systems designed to improve efficiency, compliance, and user experience.
A strong theme throughout the event was the continued shift toward sustainable and resource-efficient cleaning practices. From refillable product systems to packaging reduction initiatives and equipment designed to minimise water and energy consumption, it was clear that environmental performance remains a central focus for the sector.
For Lime, this aligns closely with our mission to help organisations implement practical sustainable cleaning strategies that reduce waste, control cost, and support measurable environmental outcomes.
Beyond product discovery, The Cleaning Show Manchester created valuable opportunities for conversation and collaboration. Our team enjoyed reconnecting with existing partners while meeting new organisations committed to driving innovation and raising standards across the cleaning industry.
Our Managing Director, Matt Burtinshaw, was present throughout the event at the Cleaning & Support Services Association (CSSA) stand. This provided a great opportunity to engage with association members, discuss sector developments, and contribute to ongoing conversations around professional best practice, workforce development, and sustainability within cleaning services.
Reflecting on our time at the event, several insights stood out:
Sustainability continues to move from ambition to implementation — with practical solutions supporting waste reduction and lower-impact cleaning operations.
Efficiency and cost control remain key drivers — particularly through dosing technologies, automation, and concentrated product formats.
Partnership and collaboration are enabling progress — with strong cross-sector engagement evident throughout the event.
Knowledge-sharing events remain vital — offering space for discussion, learning, and continuous improvement across the industry.
We would like to thank everyone who took the time to speak with us during The Cleaning Show Manchester 2026. The connections, insights, and ideas gained will help inform our work as we continue supporting customers in delivering safer, smarter, and more sustainable cleaning outcomes.
If you connected with Lime at the show and would like to continue the conversation, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
