The 5 Commercial Cleaning Trends You’ll See Everywhere in 2026

2026 is going to be a big year for cleaning — and we’re already seeing where it’s heading.

Here are the top 5 trends about to take over Sydney’s commercial cleaning world:

1. 🧼 Dry Surface Sanitising

New tech will allow full disinfection without water. Think antimicrobial fogs and dry scrubs — great for high-tech offices and gyms.

2. 📱 App-Based Audits

Cleaners and clients can now audit jobs via photos, location data, and AI scoring. Ultrix already uses this weekly.

3. 🧠 AI-Assigned Cleans

AI will allocate jobs based on skill set, timing efficiency, and priority zones. No more “just wipe the surface.”

4. 🍋 Non-Toxic Scent Marketing

Expect brands to integrate scent experiences into cleaning routines — think peppermint floors or vanilla benches.

5. 🔁 Micro Rotations

Instead of one deep clean a week, more businesses will use multiple light-touch cleans every day.
