ACR visits Interclean in China

African Cleaning Review Editor, Johann van Vuuren attended the Interclean Shanghai exhibition held from 22 to 24 October in China. This annual exhibition arranged by the organisers of Interclean Amsterdam is regarded as the only international trade show in China dedicated exclusively to professional cleaning and hygiene.

The exhibition offers global visitors the opportunity to meet trusted Chinese suppliers face-to-face, explore the latest innovations, and find the right partners for long-term business relationships. The visit presented an interesting insight of the rapid growth and development within the Chinese professional cleaning industry, especially relating to the prominence of robotics and AI. Furthermore, educational sessions addressing topics relating to healthcare cleaning, productivity, international business development, product launches, skills competitions, and expert forums contributed to a robust business development environment.

At the International Hub, van Vuuren presented a talk on the South African cleaning industry with insights on the fundamentals and role of professional cleaning standards in providing a clear benchmark for quality, reliability, and professionalism.
