A preview of the Clean ’05 exhibit
Clean ’05 will feature more than 500
companies spread across some quarter-million square feet in the
Orlando Convention Center. While the exhibition offers nearly
everything that is needed to operate a drycleaning business,
the scope of the exhibit means that there are many things that
a drycleaner probably would not need, too.
To help readers sort through the hundreds
of companies and thousands of products, we asked exhibitors to
submit information about their plans for the show. We did not
seek out information from every single exhibitor; only those we
thought would have products, machinery and services of interest
to drycleaners were invited to participate. The list that
follows is an overview of what a drycleaner may want to look
for at this year’s Clean Show.
Company names in the list are linked to the
company’s web site where available. Booth numbers
are based on the information available in mid-May and are
subject to change. Consult the Clean ’05 directory, which
will be distributed at the show, for the final listings.

including the “Silicone Dream Pad” cover, airbag,
