America’s Best Cleaners (ABC) marked its 25th anniversary at this year’s Clean Show in Orlando, Florida, held in late August.
The Clean Show remains the premier global event for the textile care industry, and ABC used the milestone as an opportunity to strengthen camaraderie and deepen engagement with its affiliates. The weekend’s highlight was the ABC Power Breakfast, hosted at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando – Grande Lakes and sponsored by Kreussler Textile Care and iCatch Marketing, which brought together affiliate owners and leaders to connect, collaborate and set the tone for two full days on the show floor.
The breakfast also included a special moment of celebration as affiliates congratulated longtime affiliate Toran Brown of Rytina Fine Cleaners on being sworn in as the new president of the Drycleaning and Laundry Institute (DLI). The recognition underscored ABC’s commitment to fostering leadership across the industry and honoring the achievements of its members.
“ABC affiliates came to Clean Show Orlando ready to explore, learn, and share,” said Christopher White, executive director of America’s Best Cleaners. “What makes this organization unique is the culture of curiosity and collaboration. Our affiliates don’t just shop the floor — they leverage their collective experience and insights to identify real ways to maximize new technologies and service opportunities.”
Founded in 2000, America’s Best Cleaners is a leading certification body and consulting group for the luxury garment care industry. With a commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability, ABC supports its elite network of affiliates with rigorous benchmarking, business development resources and transformative live events.
