When I'm cleaning windows (and carpets)

Carpex/Windex 2010 brings together the window cleaning and carpet cleaning industries. It runs from 18th -19th March in Coventry

Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning and Window Cleaning; unless you're directly involved in these two specialised areas you might just brush them off or not even give them a second thought.However, they not only provide a valuable source of employment, (the UK window cleaning industry alone employs approximately 56,000 people), but both play crucial roles in making a lasting positive impression across all industries.

Where carpets, flooring and windows are not maintained, a negative image will soon result, having a knock on effect on the prosperity of the establishment in question.The procurement of quality products, innovative processes and skilled staff to maintain spotless carpets and sparkling windows, really is key.

The Carpex/Windex 2010 exhibitions (claimed as the UK's largest specialist exhibitions for professional carpet and window cleaners), will take place on 18th and 19th March at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry and will represent a broad business forum for these two market sectors.

Carpex is not just for carpet cleaning, it will bring together everyone involved in the cleaning, maintenance and restoration of carpets, upholstery and flooring.

Windex will be targeted at window cleaners, contract cleaners and facility managers and will showcase abseiling equipment, ladders, squeegees,water-fed pole systems and safety equipment.

“Windex and Carpex present an excellent opportunity to meet current and potential suppliers, but over and above that, the shows serve up a comprehensive showcase of all the latest product innovations,” says past visitor Paul Thrupp, operations director - windows & specialist cleaning with OCS Cleaning & Environmental Services.

“The seminar programme is really useful too, invaluable to keep abreast of current industry thought and legislation.” Visitors can pre-register free online to bypass queues for swift entry to the shows. For further information about Carpex and Windex 2010 see www.carpex.co.uk or www.windex.co.uk
