“We expect to have a great turnout as the Clean Show celebrates 30 years of bringing all segments of the textile-care industry together,” said Brian Wallace, chairman of the Clean ’07 Executive Committee and president/

The World Educational Congress for Laundering and Drycleaning, the show’s formal name, is the world’s largest exhibition of textile care equipment and products and is among Tradeshow Week’s Top 200 trade shows in North America.

The Clean Show gives everyone from single-owner coin-operated laundry and drycleaning establishments to the largest industrial and institutional laundries an opportunity to see what products and services are new in the marketplace and meet face to face with the manufacturers and suppliers of these products.

The exhibit hall will open formally with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on Monday, June 11. The hall will open for distributors only at 8 a.m. on that day. Exhibit hours on subsequent days will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, the last day of the show. Educational sessions will be from 8-10 a.m. on each show day.
