National Cleaning Expo East in Tampa, Florida
ust wanted to let everyone know what a great time we had down in Tampa at the end of July. Normally you do not find large industry events going on during the summer months because it is the “Busy Time” for most pressure washing buisnesses. But some times it is great to take a few days off during the rat race of the season to step back, take a breather, and enjoy meeting and learning with fellow pressure washers.
This was held at the MainSail Suites and Conference Center, a stones throw away from the Tampa International Airport and just a bridge away from the beaches of St. Petersburg and Clearwater. The main days were Friday and Saturday, but for some things started on Thursday for intense learning with a Roof Cleaning Certification Class. More Certification classes continued thru the weekend for Wood Restoration, Seal n Lock paver sealer, Waste Water Control, UMACC’s Safety Certifcation with a second Roof Cleaning Certification to finish things off.
In the Main Ball room, there was a General Admission program that included speakers with topics that covered direct mail marketing, illegal discrimination, DOT hazmat regulations, roof cleaning safety as well as a few motivational speakers. On Saturday morning there were multiple hands on product and equipment demonstrations that were put on by the many exhibitors that had tables and booths set up in the front entrance halls. During the two days there were also other pay to learn classes that covered things like Graffiti Removal, Commercial Kitchen Cleaning, Pressure Washing Basics, Equipment Maintenance and Fleetwashilng.
It was a whirlwind of information, and honestly, a bit overwhelming to take it all in, but for anyone in the cleaning industry, it was gold. From marketing strategies to hands-on demos, you got a real sense of how vast and specialized this field has become.
And while not everyone is up for tackling tasks like hazmat regulations or commercial kitchen cleaning, it’s reassuring to know that there are companies out there, like Capable Clean, that have mastered the intricacies of these services. They’re the experts who not only understand the regulations but also stay up-to-date with the latest tools and techniques.
Navigating the complexities of the cleaning industry can indeed be a daunting experience, especially when it comes to understanding the multitude of services available and the rigorous standards involved. However, it’s evident that top-quality cleaning services are essential for achieving a pristine environment that truly stands out.
When you choose a reputable service, like those specializing in home cleaning yokine, you’re investing in a team that brings both expertise and dedication to every clean. These professionals use state-of-the-art equipment and eco-friendly products to ensure that your home is not only clean but also safe and healthy for all its occupants. Their attention to detail and commitment to high standards mean that you can enjoy a fresh, immaculate space without having to worry about the nitty-gritty of cleaning chores.
This level of professionalism allows you to relax and enjoy your home, knowing that every detail is being taken care of by skilled professionals who understand the importance of a clean and healthy living environment.
But it was not all work, Friday night the NCE had a dunking booth to kick off raising money for their chosen charity of the event, Hillsborough County’s “Make-A-Wish” Foundation. During the weekend they raised just over $4,000 for this charity. Most attendees went out Friday night to the Causeway to “Whiskey Joe’s” restaurant and bar for food and fun, and some stayed on after the end of the event on Saturday to take in a day over at the local beaches.
Soap Warehouse is proud to be able to help sponsor, exhibit and attend events such as this throughout the year. Our next show will be the PWNA (Power Washers of North America) Convention in October held in Nashville, TN. Hope to see you there.
