Businessman team holding award trophy for show their victory.

For the last 10 years, Sanitary Maintenance has given distributors the opportunity to identify top industry products and they've responded in kind. Hundreds of products have been recognized with the Sanitary Maintenance Distributor Choice Award, an honor that not just any product can have. With controlled voting, this award was the first program that identified winners based exclusively on votes from jan/san distributors. It gave these professionals the chance to highlight the products that have made a difference in their businesses and the businesses of their customers.

Ballots were sent to Sanitary Maintenance readers who could choose the top three products they considered to be the best in the industry. Distributors identified their favorite products based on best selling, most preferred, most recommended, most innovative, most effective, etc.

To simplify voting, these products were divided into four main product categories:
-Chemicals
-Cleaning Tools
-Equipment and Accessories
-Restroom Dispensers, Fixtures and Consumables

There were also two bonus categories that distributors could vote on:
-Health & Wellness
-Technology & Innovation

Based on this voting exclusively from jan/san distributors, three winners were identified in each category. The Sanitary Maintenance 2024 Distributor Choice Award winners are (in no particular order):
