Sanitary Maintenance's Distributor Choice Awards program recognizes the top products in the industry. It is jan/san distributors' chance to highlight the products that have made a difference in their businesses and the businesses of their customers. Decisions are based on whether products are top sellers, most preferred, most recommended, most innovative, etc. Based on this voting exclusively from jan/san distributors, three winners were identified in each of the seven categories. In most cases, the voting was extremely close, so one or two products in each category were also given honorable mentions.
