Inside The Clean 2019 Experience

Sunday marked the end of one of the biggest events for businesses in the laundry, dry cleaning and textile-care world.

Clean 2019, a biennial event, was held in New Orleans this year and companies from across the country made the trip.

Standard Change-Makers journeyed from its headquarters in Indiana and sent the following pictures from Clean 2019.

Standard Change-Makers sponsored a dinner hosted by the Coin Laundry Association and an event in New Orleans on Friday.

Mike Coons, who submitted these photos to MarketScale, said the show was a good opportunity for the company to meet people who use their machines daily.

It was also a learning opportunity. Coons said the feedback will help the company determine what it needs to improve upon to better service customer needs.
