Exclusive New Launches And The Latest Innovations On Show At The Cleaning Show 2021
After a year that has seen heightened awareness around cleanliness and sanitation, it is more important than ever for businesses across all industry sectors to embed effective and safe hygiene practices. Helping businesses and cleaning professionals discover the next big product innovation to transform cleaning practices, The Cleaning Show 2021, which returns to ExCeL, London from 2-4 November will welcome some of the industry’s leading suppliers as they showcase innovative cleaning products to over 7,000 attendees.
Advances In Cleaning Technology
Once a highly labour-intensive industry, automation continues to expand throughout the cleaning industry. For example, ICE, the UK’s largest independent provider of cleaning equipment, will be on hand to showcase its wide range of future friendly cleaning solutions. Among its newly launched products, ICE unveiled its new UV Bot – the latest in its co-botics range designed to advance autonomous cleaning through innovation. It enables the operator to add disinfectant and set tasks before the self-driving UV bots begins its work. It is complete with 3D obstacle avoidance and 360° UV-C and ultrasonic dry mist disinfection.
Killis, a leading manufacturer and importer of specialist cleaning equipment and janitorial suppliers will also demonstrate how automation is leading the charge, through the introduction of its Leobot. Designed to maximise productivity and optimise cleaning efficiency, it uses up to 70% less water than other robots, delivering an eco-friendly and safe alternative to increase the cleaning frequency of those all-important touch points.
With over 100 years of experience in the industry, fellow exhibitor Makita, manufacturers of power tools worldwide, will be introducing two of its powerful solutions for commercial carpet and hard-floor vacuuming. This includes the DVC560Z Twin 18V Upright Vacuum Cleaner and CL001GD225 XGT Vacuum Cleaner. The DVC560Z is a powerful solution for commercial carpet and hard-floor vacuuming, that provides a max sealed suction of 12kPa and a minimum of 60 minutes of continuous runtime on the standard suction setting when utilising 2x 6.0Ah batteries. While the CL001GD225 XGT has been designed to handle higher-demand applications thanks to the powerful 40VMax battery and 21kPa max suction power.
With increased demands to keep people safe in the new normal, the new NX300 Pro Cordless network from Numatic will also be on display at this year’s show. Delivering a professional cordless performance to a versatile and expanding range, the NX300 Pro Cordless network uses the latest battery technologies and newly developed 30 cell design, delivering a 60% increase in available energy.

The NX range includes both cylinder and back-pack vacuums while floorcare is covered with the ever-popular TTB1840NX scrubber dryer and the newest addition with the 244NX compact scrubber dryer.
Elsewhere on the show floor, Lavor will present its LI-ION Series, the new range of LAVOR floor scrubber dryers, designed with lithium batteries to increase the level of productivity and reduce cleaning costs. Similarly, Rotowash will be showcasing its industrial floor cleaning machine to tackle all types of flooring. With 650 rpm and up to 36kg of brush pressure, this premium product features a patented brush system that can reach deep down into the irregularities of profiled floors such as grouted tiles, studded rubber, entrance matting or escalator steps and is equally effective for scrubbing and buffing flat surfaces such as vinyl, terrazzo and wood.
Reducing Plastic Waste

All New Sanitising And Disinfecting Solutions
Throughout the pandemic, cleaning organisations and businesses have seen a sharp increase in the need for disinfectant sprays, which is why companies like Vycel have embraced technology to pioneer future solutions for virus protection. The Electrostatic Sprayer delivers a positively charged water-based antimicrobial spray, quickly sanitising and disinfecting 100% of surfaces within just 30 seconds.
In addition, P-Wave will feature at this years show exhibiting its GermErase 24hr disinfectant product in partnership with GermErase, whilst IK Sprayers will be introducing its new IK e 15 BS to visitors which comes with four specifically designed nozzles to improve effectiveness, safety, and speed of treatments.
