ORLANDO, Fla. — The Clean Show 2025 drew record-breaking attendance here since the COVID pandemic, nearly 400 exhibitors, and a strong education program on and off the show floor, Messe Frankfurt Inc. states in its final show report.
Let’s hear from some more of the exhibitors who used Clean to promote their new wares or spread the word about enhanced or expanded products and services.
This American Coin-Op report represents only a sampling of exhibitors and the products/services shown or described at Clean 2025. With hundreds of companies in attendance, this multi-part article isn’t intended to be all-encompassing.
Be sure to follow American Coin-Op for more product and service announcements from these companies and others in the months to come.
YAMAMOTO NORTH AMERICA
Yamamoto North America, known for its on-premise laundry equipment, spotlighted its washer-dryer combo units designed for laundromats — machines that handle washing and drying in the same drum.
Common in Japan and across Asia, the units are now being tested in a Champaign, Illinois, laundromat.
“We’re not testing functionality — it works fine,” says Managing Partner Leo Hermes. “We’re testing whether or not the American consumer wants that product in their coin laundry opposed to the conventional washer and dryer.”
Yamamoto created marketing signage and a 40-second instructional video to guide users and promote the system’s convenience. The combo units come in 12-, 18-, 28-, and 38-pound capacities, with the midrange models currently in trial.
“The video teaches customers how to use it and why they might want to,” Hermes explains. With the decision to launch already made, testing now focuses on gauging demand and fine-tuning operations before wider release.
B&C TECHNOLOGIES
B&C Technologies first announced at the 2022 Clean Show that it would be expanding its offerings to included vended laundry equipment. At Clean 2025, it officially launched its vended line.
“We just launched our HX product line, which is our entry into the vended market after 25 years in OPL,” says Vice President of Sales & Marketing Al Adcock. “We’ve applied the lessons we’ve learned in making laundry equipment that’s designed to operate 24 hours a day and put that same kind of robustness in our vended line.”
B&C had only done small rollouts since announcing its entry but was scheduled to install its first full store in the weeks immediately following Clean 2025.
Besides connecting with laundromat owners and operators, B&C uses Clean to develop and enhance distributor relationships, particularly with new companies interested in representing its product lines.
“Everybody’s always looking for good, solid, trustworthy, technically capable distributors,” Adcock says. “Things are changing all the time, so we keep our eyes open for that and look for partnership opportunities.”
LG ELECTRONICS USA
LG Electronics USA introduced a new line of 27-inch, high-efficiency top-load washers featuring its proven Inverter Direct Drive™ motor, backed by a five-year limited warranty. The launch expands LG’s AI-driven commercial lineup focused on powerful performance, energy efficiency, and reliability.
“With LG’s reputation for quality, these new top-load washers, as well as their popular front-load cousins and their companion gas and electric dryers, are well-positioned to serve the dynamic U.S. vended market,” says Sam Kim, president of Appliance Solutions.
LG’s U.S. commercial lineup — top-load and front-load washers, dryers, and combo units — is designed for use in multi-family housing, laundromats, student dormitories and more. They are available now through U.S. service providers such as CSC ServiceWorks, WASH and EVI.
LG emphasizes services and platforms complementing its hardware innovations, so it launched “Laundry Crew 3.0,” a connectivity solution that provides an integrated interface that connects store managers and end users, enabling real-time product monitoring and coordinated support.
Looking ahead to 2026, LG previewed its Professional Laundry line with enhanced balancing technology allowing drums to spin up to 1,100 RPM, improving stability and throughput.
“LG is demonstrating how advanced engineering and smart connectivity can solve the toughest challenges in commercial laundry,” Kim adds.
SETOMATIC SYSTEMS - SPYDERWASH
Setomatic Systems made headlines with its largest Clean Show booth to date and several major product launches, including a new wash-dry-fold point-of-sale (POS) system, an integrated DoorDash app for pickup and delivery, and the sleek SpyderWash Kiosk Add Value Loyalty Card Station.
“We’re really highlighting the family legacy,” says President Gregg Schantz, with lighted booth displays that included photos of three generations of leadership. “We’ve been here for 60 years now and at every Clean Show (from the start). You can count on us to be your laundry partner for decades more.”
The new POS gives operators a true all-in-one solution, he explains: “It integrates self-service, wash-dry-fold, and pickup and delivery orders into a single portal and login.” Built from operator feedback, the system includes tablets, cash registers, scales, and receipt printers.
The SpyderWash Kiosk features a 15-inch touchscreen and Android OS for easy updates and multilingual functionality, allowing customers to buy, register, and reload loyalty cards. Sized to fit standard wall studs, it installs easily without reframing.
“We could not have been happier with the response from the attendees,” CEO Michael Schantz says of Setomatic’s new products. “While we felt that the products we were introducing were cutting-edge and best-in-class, you always want confirmation from the customers themselves.”
ROYAL BASKET TRUCKS
Exhibiting at Clean 2025 was a great experience for Royal Basket Trucks, says Marketing Manager Kelsey Walsh.
“We had strong booth traffic and meaningful conversations with both new and existing customers,” she says. “The attendee response exceeded our expectations, and we appreciated the high level of engagement throughout the show.”
A show highlight was Royal’s Wire Laundry Carts. Built with a powder-coated base and equipped with 5-inch non-marking casters, the carts are designed to handle demanding environments like commercial laundry and facility operations with ease.
“Hot-button topics at the show included operational efficiency, durability in high-use environments, and customization — especially around color-coding and ergonomic design,” says Walsh. “These aligned well with the solutions we showcased.”
AIRWALLET
It was the Denmark-based company’s first time exhibiting at Clean — its U.S. operations began in January 2024 — and Digital Marketing Manager Katrine Jensen says Airwallet couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.
“Our focus was on presenting our cashless laundry payment solution — both the Airwallet app and our card terminal, Anton. We had excellent traffic at our booth and many valuable conversations with distributors, route operators, laundromat owners, and other industry experts.”
“There are many payment systems in this field and I think where we really stand out is that it’s very user-friendly from end to end,” co-founder and CCO Nickolai Isaksen shares during a show floor interview. Offering quality product support for both distributors and end users is also of the utmost importance to the company.
“Our business model, as it pertains to both our partnerships with distributors but also end-user customers like laundromat owners, we have the most unique business model of all payment systems in this industry,” adds Regional Sales Manager Robert Mattocks.
Airwallet has already seen tangible results in terms of sales and partnerships directly linked to its Clean Show participation, Jensen says.
