Cleaning Expo UK 2027 brings the UK cleaning and hygiene trade to NAEC Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire on 5–6 March 2027.
The two-day Midlands expo puts cleaning machines, chemicals, hygiene products and business services in front of cleaning company owners, facilities managers and distributors.
It is a practical, regional show built around live equipment demonstrations and face-to-face supplier meetings rather than a large international conference.

Why visit
See scrubber dryers, pressure washers, vacuums and chemicals working on a live floor, compare suppliers side by side and take away show-only pricing. The Stoneleigh setting keeps the visit compact: most buyers can cover the stands and seminar room in a single day.
Why exhibit

A stand at Stoneleigh puts a supplier in front of decision makers from the Midlands and wider UK, with product demonstrations and on-the-day offers doing the selling.

Impact
A bigger and stronger platform
A focused regional expo gives Midlands cleaning firms a low-cost buying trip and gives suppliers a concentrated pool of owner-operators. The commercial value comes from equipment demonstrations and show-day offers, not from a broad international audience.
Audience quality
High-value decision-makers
Visitors are expected to be UK cleaning contractors, facilities managers and distributors with direct purchasing responsibility. The 2026 edition was family-friendly and admitted children, so the floor is not a strict trade-only environment; exhibitors should qualify leads at the stand.
Exhibitor outcomes
Real business growth
Return depends on demonstration quality and lead follow-up. A compact two-day show keeps stand and travel costs below national exhibition rates, but exhibitors should set a realistic lead target because no audited attendance figure is published.
Intelligence
Market context
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
United Kingdom
Why it matters
The UK cleaning market rewards equipment that reduces labour hours and chemical spend. Regional expos such as Stoneleigh let owner-operators compare machines, finance options and consumables without travelling to a national exhibition, while suppliers get qualified Midlands buyers in a compact two-day format.
Industry trends
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
01
Robotics and connected equipment
Battery-powered scrubbers, autonomous floor machines and telematics are moving from pilots into everyday contract cleaning. Buyers want proof of run time, service support and data export before committing.
What it changes: Demonstrations that show real run time and connectivity will outperform brochures at a regional show.
02
Chemical reduction and sustainability
Concentrates, dosing systems and microfibre methods are being sold on lower cost-in-use and reduced packaging. Public-sector and FM buyers increasingly ask for safety data and environmental evidence.
What it changes: Suppliers should bring COSHH documentation and dilution economics, not just product claims.
03
Labour scarcity and business software
Cleaning companies are adopting booking, scheduling and payment software to protect margins as wage costs rise. Software vendors are appearing alongside equipment brands at regional trade days.
What it changes: A stand that connects equipment productivity to back-office software tells a stronger ROI story.
04
Water reuse and dosing accuracy
Contractors are trialling closed-loop wash systems and precise chemical dosing to cut water and detergent use on large sites. Suppliers that can show litres saved per shift are gaining traction.
What it changes: A measured water and chemical saving is easier to defend to a finance director than a general green claim.
05
Training and staff retention
With experienced cleaners in short supply, employers are using short practical courses and equipment-led training to bring new staff up to speed. Trade shows are being used as a training venue as well as a buying one.
What it changes: Exhibitors who offer operator training alongside a machine sale reduce the buyer risk of switching suppliers.
06
Online and direct B2B channels
Small cleaning firms increasingly research equipment online before buying at a show or from a distributor. The buying journey mixes video demonstrations, finance calculators and face-to-face trials.
What it changes: A stand needs a clear digital trail so a visitor can find the same product and price after the show.
UK and European cleaning circuit
Book stand space or visitor travel 8–12 weeks before each edition; March is a busy period for UK cleaning events.
Cleaning Expo UK sits between the national London Cleaning Show and international Interclean, with regional and continental alternatives for buyers who need a wider supplier comparison.
Visitors from countries without a UK visa-waiver agreement, including many Asian and African passport holders.
$150.00

March is early spring in Warwickshire: expect 3–10°C, gusty winds and frequent showers. The hall is indoors but the car park and entrance walk are exposed.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Mobile coverage is good across the venue; public Wi-Fi availability in the hall was not published, so bring a mobile hotspot for live demos.

Is Cleaning Expo UK free to attend?
No 2027 ticket price has been published, so free entry cannot be confirmed. The show is aimed at cleaning professionals and trade buyers, and the 2026 edition admitted children free. Register or check the official website before travelling, and budget for parking and travel even if the visitor ticket itself is complimentary.

Suppliers of cleaning machines, chemicals, hygiene products, window-cleaning equipment, waste systems and business software should exhibit. The audience is made up of cleaning company owners, facilities managers, distributors and specialist contractors from the Midlands and wider UK. A stand works best when it includes a live demonstration and a clear show-only offer for buyers.
What can visitors see at Cleaning Expo UK?
Visitors can try cleaning machines, pressure washers, vacuums, floor-care equipment, chemicals and hygiene products, and compare suppliers in one hall. The 2026 edition also included seminar sessions on marketing, training and business systems. The 2027 floor plan and exhibitor list were not published when this listing was prepared.
How many exhibitors attend Cleaning Expo UK?
The organiser has not published a 2027 exhibitor count. This listing uses a planning estimate of about 120 exhibitors, based on the focused regional scale of the 2026 edition; it is not an official figure. Check the published exhibitor list before travelling if a specific supplier is essential to your visit.
Is Cleaning Expo UK trade only?
The show is built around the cleaning trade, with equipment, chemicals and services for professional buyers. The 2026 edition described a family-friendly environment and admitted children free, so it is not a strictly closed trade event. Exhibitors should still qualify visitors at the stand because attendance includes small firms and end users.
How do I get to NAEC Stoneleigh Park?
NAEC Stoneleigh Park sits off the A444/B4113 road network in Warwickshire, close to the M40 and A46. Birmingham Airport is about 20 miles away, Coventry station is roughly 8 miles away, and taxis serve the venue entrance.

What are the opening hours?
The 2026 edition opened from 10:00 to 16:00 on both days at NAEC Stoneleigh Park. The 2027 timetable had not been published when this listing was prepared, so those hours are a planning guide rather than a confirmed 2027 schedule. Check the official website before arranging trains or an overnight stay.
Will there be seminars at Cleaning Expo UK 2027?
The 2026 edition ran seminars from 10:30 to 14:30 each day, covering marketing, training, tax, pure-water systems and business growth.

Who organises Cleaning Expo UK?
The official Cleaning Expo UK website is the primary source for the 2027 edition, but a named organiser contact and company number were not published on the pages reviewed. Exhibitors should request the organiser details and stand contract before paying a deposit, and visitors should use the official website rather than third-party ticket resellers.
Can I bring children to Cleaning Expo UK?
The 2026 edition described a family-friendly environment and admitted children free, according to a public event preview. The 2027 policy had not been published when this listing was prepared. If you plan to bring a child, check the official site and the venue rules first, especially around live equipment demonstrations and parked machinery.

NAEC Stoneleigh Park has on-site parking next to the exhibition halls, with vehicle access from the Stoneleigh Park road system. The 2027 parking charge and overflow arrangements were not published.
