Cleaning Expo 2026 – 5th edition of the professional cleaning and hygiene industry trade fair

On 13–14 October 2026, the MTP Poznań Expo will host the jubilee 5th edition of Cleaning Expo – an event that continues to strengthen and unite the professional cleaning and hygiene industry year after year. Held in the modern and comfortable facilities of Poznań Congress Center, the exhibition will bring together leading manufacturers, distributors, service providers, and professionals responsible for hygiene standards and facility cleanliness management across a wide range of economic sectors.

Cleaning Expo goes far beyond the traditional trade fair format. It is a dynamic B2B business platform where innovation meets practical application, and where cleaning technologies, automation solutions, and facility cleaning management systems are showcased in real-life operational environments. Over the years, the event has become a key venue for market premieres, presentations of cutting-edge solutions, and the development of long-term business relationships across the entire industry ecosystem.

The 2026 edition places an even stronger emphasis on hands-on experience and practical demonstrations. Exhibitors will present their technologies in action, while visitors will have the opportunity to directly compare solutions, observe operational processes, and engage with industry experts and market leaders. The event has been designed to deliver not only inspiration but, above all, tangible business and operational value.

Cleaning Forum 2026 – practical insights, industry expertise and real-world challenges

An integral part of the exhibition is Cleaning Forum, which in 2026 will place even greater focus on practical knowledge and sector-specific expertise. The programme is built around concrete topics, case studies, and the analysis of real industry challenges together with proven approaches to solving them.

Day 1 – Military facilities and the defence industry

The first day of the forum will focus on environments that require exceptional organisation, precision, and the highest operational standards. Key topics will include cleaning and hygiene management in military facilities and defence industry environments.

An important element of the programme will also be the latest regulations and legal developments related to the procurement of cleaning services for military institutions. These changes have a direct impact on how service providers organise their operations and collaborate with the public sector. The day is designed for participants seeking a deeper understanding of large, highly structured organisations and demanding operational procedures.

Day 2 – Hospitality and residential cleaning services

The second day will focus on two rapidly growing market segments: the hospitality industry and residential cleaning services.

Within the hospitality sector, discussions will centre on quality, consistency, and operational efficiency in housekeeping teams. Key topics will include optimising cleaning times without compromising service standards, managing operations in high-occupancy properties, and leveraging technology to enhance day-to-day operational performance.

At the same time, the forum will address the growing market for residential cleaning services, with particular attention to small and medium-sized companies operating in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving business environment.

Hospitality Demonstration Zone - practical solutions in a real-world environment

One of the most engaging elements of Cleaning Forum 2026 will be a dedicated Hospitality Demonstration Zone designed specifically for hotel professionals. Within a specially arranged hotel-room environment, live practical cleaning demonstrations will showcase:

• effective organisation of housekeeping operations in a hotel room,
• methods for reducing service delivery time while maintaining high quality standards,
• techniques and tools that improve team productivity,
• the role of modern technologies in supporting hotel cleaning processes.

The objective of the zone is to present real, proven solutions—without simplification and without theory—in conditions that closely reflect everyday operational reality.

Where knowledge, technology and practice meet

Cleaning Expo 2026 is a unique industry event that combines expertise, innovation, and practical business solutions for the professional cleaning and hygiene sector. It offers two intensive days of inspiration, meaningful discussions, and actionable solutions that address the real needs and challenges of today's market.
