Nominations have now opened for the Tomorrow’s Cleaning Awards 2026, and we’re inviting you to tell us what you think have been the best products, innovations and services in the Cleaning, Hygiene and Waste industry over the past 12 months.
The Tomorrow’s Cleaning Awards have been a celebration of the finest innovations and the best time-tested solutions that the cleaning and hygiene industry has to offer for well over a decade – and are the only industry awards where the winners are voted on directly by you, our readers.
In last year’s Awards, Harpic Fresh & Hygienic Stickers from Reckitt Pro Solutions rose to the top of the list, with Nilfisk’s SC550 coming in close in second place, while the Oxygen-Supreme Constant Air Freshener & Odour Eliminator from Fragrance Delivery Technologies landed in third place. The Top 10 was a mix of innovations and industry favourites, with entrants from every corner of the industry vying for victory across nearly three months of intense voting. It was a close-run affair as the public’s votes kept things interesting and the whole Top 20 were fairly close together in terms of votes, right up until the end.
Martin Wharmby, Editor of Tomorrow’s Cleaning and Tomorrow’s Cleaning Ireland, said: “The Tomorrow’s Cleaning Awards are always a perfect way to highlight the very best that our industry can offer. From the latest in automated and cobotic cleaning technologies, through to specialist cleaning services, time-tested solutions and unique innovations, these are the products and services that are driving our industry forward.
“What sets the Tomorrow’s Cleaning Awards apart from other industry accolades is that the winners are not chosen by a panel of industry names and faces behind closed doors. You, our readers and the people who actually use the nominated products and services, get to name your favourite. This ensures that all products, services and innovations nominated have a fair chance to shine against each other.”
If you would like to put forward a product or service for the Tomorrow’s Cleaning Awards 2026, or think your company or client deserves recognition for their products or services, please let us know. To nominate for this year’s awards, email Martin HERE with the name of your favourite and why it should be included. We are accepting submissions until end of play Tuesday 30 September 2025.
From these nominations, the finalists will be selected and included in a comprehensive Awards Guide, which will be launched at the end of 2025 to allow readers to find out more about each nominee. Public voting will open before Christmas 2025 and will close Monday 16 March 2026, with the Top 3 announced on social media shortly afterwards, and the full Top 10 in our April 2026 issue.
