Following on from the record-breaking 2025 event in Edinburgh last month, today the location for the 2026 European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards gala dinner has been revealed. 

The ninth annual awards will take place on Thursday, October 8 on the sun-soaked island of Mallorca. The venue is an architectural treasure located in the heart of Palma - Pueblo Español, which is inspired by Spain's most iconic towns and monuments.The European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards are the only pan-European awards dedicated to celebrating excellence across the professional cleaning and hygiene industry.

Founded and organised by European Cleaning Journal (ECJ), they shine a spotlight on outstanding achievements across the sector, from sustainability and innovation to leadership, diversity and service excellence. Each year, the awards bring together leading voices, companies and individuals from across Europe to honour the people and initiatives driving the industry forward.

ECJ editor Michelle Marshall commented on the big reveal: "After an incredible evening in Edinburgh, we knew we had set the bar high, but Palma is the perfect city to follow. Pueblo Español offers a truly unique and atmospheric setting that captures the essence of Europe's cultural diversity, something that aligns perfectly with our awards' pan-European spirit.

"We can't wait to welcome our guests to experience this special venue and celebrate the very best of our industry once again."

Entries will open in January 2026. Stay up-to-date with news at the ECJ website and via European Cleaning Journal's LinkedIn page
