With only two weeks left for online voting in the 2014 ISSA Innovation Award Program—which recognizes the cleaning industry’s most innovative products and services—every vote counts as margins narrow, announces ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association.

The ISSA Innovation Award Program features 51 innovative products and services from top manufacturers and service providers in five unique categories: Cleaning Agents, Dispensers, Equipment, Services and Technology, and Supplies.

Voters—including cleaning industry distributors, wholesalers, and facility service providers—have until October 31, 2014, to choose their favorites online at www.issa.com/vote. (Current standings are listed below.) Eligible voters have a chance to win a Pebble Smartwatch in ISSA’s final monthly drawing.

“By participating in the ISSA Innovation Award Program, distributors, wholesalers, and cleaning service providers help to shape the future of the industry,” says Anthony Trombetta, ISSA director of sales. “Their experience and expertise make them uniquely qualified to do so.”
 
Industry professionals also can view these innovations firsthand during ISSA/INTERCLEAN® North America 2014 in Orlando, FL, November 4-7, where the entries will be on display in the Innovation Showcase (Booth 1781). Distributor, wholesaler, and facility service provider attendees will vote on site using the ISSA/INTERCLEAN Mobile App to determine five additional Visitors’ Choice Award winners. All 10 ISSA Innovation Award winners will be announced at ISSA/INTERCLEAN, November 7, at 1:00 p.m. To attend the show and browse the Innovation Showcase, visit www.issa.com/register.
