Hygienalia

Hygienalia: Spain’s Leading Professional Cleaning and Hygiene Trade Fair

The professional cleaning and hygiene industry is essential across healthcare, hospitality, food production, transportation, and public services. Hygienalia, Spain’s most important trade fair for the sector, takes place every two years in Madrid, gathering manufacturers, distributors, service providers, and end-users. It is a hub for innovation, networking, and strategic discussions far more than just a display of cleaning products.

Industry-backed organization

Hygienalia is co-organized by two major Spanish associations: one representing producers of cleaning chemicals and consumables, and the other focused on industrial cleaning machinery. This joint effort ensures balanced representation of both chemical and mechanical solutions, promoting integration and collaboration across the sector.

Cross-sector audience

The event attracts professionals from food processing, hospitality, healthcare, transportation, automotive services, contract cleaning, and distribution. These attendees seek practical, high-performance solutions that meet strict industry-specific standards, whether it’s chemical safety in food environments or disinfection technologies in hospitals.

Comprehensive equipment showcase

A wide range of cleaning machinery is exhibited, from compact machines for offices to heavy-duty systems for warehouses or city streets. Features include variable pressure controls, automatic chemical dosing, productivity tracking, and compliance-ready documentation. Outdoor equipment demonstrates high-capacity sweeping, graffiti removal, and pressure cleaning. Laundry systems cater to hotels and hospitals, featuring automation and tracking tools to improve efficiency and consistency.

Chemicals and consumables

Cleaning chemical producers highlight modern formulations that combine performance with environmental safety. Concentrated products, eco-labels, and dilution control systems are increasingly common. Buyers can also explore a broad range of paper products and hygiene items, comparing strength, absorbency, and sustainability features.

Accessories such as mop systems, brushes, and ergonomic tools show how proper equipment selection boosts cleaning results and worker productivity. These professional-grade tools are built for durability and intensive use.

Support services and training

In addition to products, Hygienalia presents services that support operations, such as lab testing for surface cleanliness and residue detection. Training providers offer solutions to a common industry challenge: skilled personnel. Their programs cover safe equipment use, proper chemical handling, quality control, and efficient cleaning techniques.

Pest control providers showcase integrated management systems emphasizing prevention and early detection, reducing chemical reliance and aligning with modern health and environmental standards.

Sustainability focus

Sustainability plays a growing role, with exhibitors showcasing energy-efficient machines, biodegradable products, water-saving systems, and waste management tools. These innovations help companies reduce environmental impact while often saving money.

Reusable tools, recycled-content products, and sustainable workwear also feature prominently. Uniforms now balance durability, safety, and environmental responsibility, enhancing both brand image and staff well-being.

Knowledge exchange and networking

Beyond the exhibition floor, Hygienalia hosts seminars, presentations, and forums on emerging trends, regulations, and innovations. This knowledge-sharing aspect makes it a key event for professional development. Visitors also value the networking opportunities that save months of meetings by gathering the industry’s key players in one place.

Hygienalia is where Spain’s cleaning and hygiene industry meets to discover, connect, and advance. It blends innovation, business, and education — creating real value for all professionals dedicated to health, cleanliness, and sustainable operations.
