EVENTS

The Manchester Cleaning Show, the UK’s second-largest cleaning and hygiene trade event after London, will return to Manchester Central on 18–19 February 2026, bringing together the brightest industry innovators and decision-makers from across the North.

SPEED VIEW:

• Registration is now open for the UK’s second-largest cleaning and hygiene trade show
• With major names already confirmed, organisers are calling on more businesses to exhibit and connect with the North’s most influential cleaning and facilities management professionals
• This follows the success of 2024, which welcomed over 80 exhibitors and 2,500 attendees.

Attendee registration is now open, but organisers are also encouraging suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers to secure their exhibition space early to make the most of the growing demand for northern connections.

Major names are already confirmed for the 2026 show, including Jangro, Killis, Lucart, Team Software, BICSc, Tork, Northwood Hygiene, i-Team, Embassy UK, and SC Johnson Professional. 

With a reputation as the North’s essential cleaning and FM event, the show provides a platform to connect businesses with buyers and influencers from across the likes of hospitality, healthcare, large venues, and education.

Exhibitors can showcase innovations, build relationships, and gain practical insights that drive real business growth.

Notably, 76% of the 2024 attendees did not attend this year’s London event, making Manchester a unique gateway to reach regional buyers.

In addition, 79% of the 2024 visitors held purchasing power, and 27% controlled budgets exceeding £1 million, with organisations such as Asda, Savills, Heathrow, Royal Mail, David Lloyd, and leading UK universities all in attendance.

Paul Sweeney, event director, said: “The Manchester Cleaning Show has become the heartbeat of the industry in the North. Exhibiting here puts your brand directly in front of high-value decision-makers who want to connect locally, do business face-to-face, and discover what’s new. For any company looking to grow its reach beyond London, this is where those opportunities begin.”

The 2026 Manchester Cleaning Show will feature live product demonstrations, expert-led seminars, and networking opportunities, alongside an exhibition floor showcasing the latest products and sustainable solutions driving the industry forward.

Exhibitors and sponsors can now secure their space online. While attendees can register here to secure their place today.
