The Clean Show 2025, the most important event in North America for professionals in textile care, took place at the end of August in Orlando, Florida. And it was truly an exceptional edition! From educational programs and a vibrant trade show floor to evening networking events – the entire week was filled with innovation, collaboration, and inspiration.
The Czech Delegation in Orlando
The Czech textile care industry was proudly represented at this prestigious event. A delegation of 11 participants, organized by the Czech Association of Laundries and Dry Cleaners in cooperation with Pragoperun, joined the tens of thousands of visitors over the four-day show. Among the delegation were representatives of member companies Prádelna a čistírna Jihlava, NES Mělník, and Cleany.cz, who took part in a five-day program combining both formal and informal activities.
“I see two big benefits from this trip. Firstly, the human aspect – we came together as a group, connected well, and were able to combine the professional with the personal, enjoying time together both socially and in work-related discussions. Secondly, it was a valuable reflection – as we discussed various topics from our work and personal lives and compared them with life here, especially the focus on ecology, quality, and services, it opened new horizons for us. It was a wonderful connection that enriched us all,” says Lucie Fialová, Managing Director of Pragoperun, the association’s main partner.
A detailed report from the Czech delegation’s five-day trip to Orlando – which, in addition to visiting The Clean Show, also included tours of local laundry facilities – will be featured in the upcoming issue of the Informátor magazine.
Education that Inspires
The professional program, prepared by partner associations, offered participants a wide range of topics. Discussions included cost-saving strategies, textile longevity, the case for reusable healthcare textiles, and smart automation in processing. Speakers shared practical approaches to help companies prepare for future challenges while also boosting profitability.
A Show Floor Full of Innovation
This year, Orlando hosted nearly 400 exhibitors, showcasing the latest in machinery, software, automation, and sustainable solutions. Visitors had the opportunity to see live demonstrations, test technologies firsthand, and witness product launches that are set to shape the future of the industry.
Innovation at the Center of Attention
For the first time in its history, The Clean Show introduced the Innovation Awards. These honors recognized companies that brought groundbreaking applications in sustainability and automation. The awarded projects set a new benchmark and inspired lively discussions across the show floor.
Looking Ahead: Las Vegas 2027
The next edition of The Clean Show will take place on July 15–18, 2027 in Las Vegas. Once again, participants can look forward to a unique combination of innovation, education, and networking opportunities that continue to drive the entire textile care industry forward.
