From green cleaning to the rise of restorative floor care, the October issue of INCLEAN dives deep into the forces shaping the industry – just in time for the ISSA Cleaning and Hygiene Expo 2025.
As Australia’s leading source of insight for the commercial cleaning and hygiene sector, INCLEAN returns this month with a future-focused issue that lands in perfect sync with the ISSA Cleaning and Hygiene Expo 2025. With the industry set to converge in Sydney for two days of innovation and networking, the October edition captures the same energy, spotlighting how sustainability, technology and professional expertise are redefining the business of clean.
In ‘Green shift: How facility managers are embedding sustainability into cleaning contracts’, we investigate how the sector is rethinking procurement. Against the backdrop of World Cleanup Day, the feature explores how facility managers are demanding stronger environmental performance, from low-tox chemistry to closed-loop waste systems. Sustainability consultants and FM leaders reveal what truly counts as ‘green’ in 2025.
Restorative care takes the spotlight in ‘Deep down: What’s driving demand for restorative floor care’. As facilities seek greater longevity and hygiene outcomes, floor maintenance is becoming more specialised than ever. This feature examines the chemistry and technology behind deep cleaning systems, covering encapsulation, steam treatments and precision pH balance and the professionals who are pushing technical excellence to new heights.
We also explore the machine frontier in ‘The big clean: How large-scale machines are reshaping commercial hygiene’. From ride-on scrubbers to autonomous sweepers, this story charts the evolution of large-format cleaning equipment, highlighting how modern machines deliver efficiency gains, labour savings and measurable sustainability results across commercial environments.
Each feature builds toward a clear message: the cleaning and hygiene industry is evolving fast, and professionals who embrace smarter, greener and more strategic practices will set the pace for the decade ahead.
