Interclean Amsterdam 2026 closes on a high as the global cleaning industry comes together

Interclean Amsterdam 2026 has come to a close after four days of innovation, knowledge sharing and global industry connection.

From 14–17 April, the world’s leading cleaning and hygiene professionals gathered in Amsterdam to discover the latest technologies, attend expert sessions and explore the trends of the future of the industry.

With 30,000 visitors from 140 countries and 850 exhibitors, reinforcing its position as the global powerhouse for professional cleaning and hygiene.

Across all halls at RAI Amsterdam, visitors explored everything from robotics and data-driven cleaning to sustainable chemistry, healthcare hygiene, washroom solutions and outdoor cleaning innovations. From opening morning to the final afternoon, the halls remained busy with visitors and exhibitors hungry for new ideas, products and partnerships.

Interclean Amsterdam 2026 also delivered one of its strongest content programmes to date, reflecting one of the show’s key ambitions: to be not only a trade show, but a trusted platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration and innovation across the global professional cleaning and hygiene industry. Live demonstrations, new product launches and exhibitor presentations were a major highlight across:

• 4 Experience Centres
• 4 Knowledge Stages
• 75+ Speakers
• 100+ Sessions

The Experience Centres were among the most interactive areas of the show, giving attendees the opportunity to see innovation in action in real-life environments. Across healthcare, hospitality, outdoor cleaning and robotics, leading manufacturers and specialists showcased new technologies and offered valuable insight into the challenges facing the industry.
