The Manchester Cleaning Show will return to Manchester Central on 18-19 February 2026.
Registration is open for what is now the UK’s second-largest cleaning and hygiene trade event after London. Organisers are also inviting new suppliers, manufacturers and service providers to exhibit as demand for regional business connections continues to rise.
Major brands already confirmed include Jangro, Killis, Lucart, Team Software, BICSc, Tork, Northwood Hygiene, i-Team, Embassy UK and SC Johnson Professional.
The show serves as the North’s key meeting place for cleaning and facilities management professionals. It connects exhibitors with buyers across sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, education and large venues.
The 2024 edition attracted over 80 exhibitors and 2,500 attendees. Organisers expect 2026 to build on that success, reaching a commercially valuable regional audience. 76% of 2024 visitors did not attend the London event, giving Manchester exhibitors access to a distinct pool of regional buyers.
The audience also carries significant purchasing power – 79% of visitors held buying responsibility and more than a quarter managed budgets exceeding £1m. Organisations represented included Asda, Savills, Heathrow, Royal Mail, David Lloyd and several UK universities.
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 event will feature product demonstrations, seminars and networking, alongside displays of new cleaning technologies.
