Why should I go to The Clean Show? 5/10/2018

It’s a question I get asked often, and then it is usually followed by a long list of reasons why they aren’t attending.  One of the more common reasons is ‘I don’t really need anything.’  I would disagree.

I will follow that up with these points.  First, while The Clean Show is full of the latest in technology, it is also attended by thousands of your peers.  Those folks come with a wealth of information and ideas to share.  Second, it gives you an opportunity to talk one-on-one with the companies that manufacture the equipment and products you use every day.  Finally, it gives you the chance to learn the latest methods and processes.

But let me tell you why I like attending The Clean Show; it allows me to spend hours talking and learning about something I simply love.  This year, I am particularly interested in seeing the Compass Control computer for the Electrolux and Wascomat Commercial Laundry Equipment line.  The computer is fully programmable and will be the same on both Electrolux washers and dryers.  I’m also really excited about seeing the newly introduced Unipress BAG Auto Bagger with a loader/unloader for a fully auto operation.

The Clean Show does showcase the latest and greatest in equipment.  Things I believe dry cleaners should look for this year – POS systems, bar coding, garment sorting and automation.  But it also gives you the opportunity to discuss your operations and our industry as a whole with other attendees to learn as much as you possibly can.  The Clean Show is really what you make of it.  But you won’t know if you don’t go.
