The Clean Show remains the premier event for the US textile care industry, and ABC used the milestone as an opportunity to strengthen camaraderie and deepen engagement with its affiliates. The weekend inlcuded the ABC Power Breakfast, hosted at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando – Grande Lakes and sponsored by Kreussler Textile Care and iCatch Marketing, which brought together affiliate owners and leaders to connect, collaborate, and set the tone for two full days on the show floor.

The breakfast also included a special moment of celebration as affiliates congratulated longtime affiliate Toran Brown of Rytina Fine Cleaners on being sworn in as the new President of the Drycleaning and Laundry Institute (DLI). The recognition underscored ABC’s commitment to fostering leadership across the industry and honoring the achievements of its members.

Preparation for the event began weeks in advance through ABC-hosted Zoom planning sessions where affiliates worked together to build a purposeful agenda for their vendor tours. This collaboration ensured that every participating team could maximize their experience—learning directly from selected vendors about the latest innovations, equipment, and services. Affiliates not only observed demonstrations but also engaged in dynamic group discussions about how to apply these technologies and solutions within their own operations.
