CMS Berlin 2025: Smart solutions for housekeeping
• Housekeeping focus day: Networking, expertise and live demonstrations
• Digital tools, smart technology and sustainable products for everyday hotel life
• Themed tour: Registration now open
Offering guests the highest quality – despite staff shortages, limited budgets and increasing demands for efficiency, sustainability and hygiene: these challenges shape everyday work in housekeeping. This is where CMS Berlin comes in. From 23 to 26 September 2025, the leading international trade fair for cleaning and hygiene will present innovative products and solutions on 34,000 square metres of exhibition space in Berlin. Digitalisation and AI will shape CMS 2025 in all areas. On Friday, 26 September, a special focus day on housekeeping will revolve around the latest developments and solutions. The day will include a get-together at a networking breakfast, presentations by experts with a panel discussion, and a tour of selected exhibitors.
At CMS Berlin, professionals will receive practical ideas for sustainable housekeeping, such as ergonomic devices like cordless backpack vacuum cleaners or manoeuvrable scrubber-dryers that reduce physical strain. Digital tools ensure transparent processes – from cloud-based cleaning schedules and app-supported task allocation to real-time documentation. This allows capacities to be better managed and flexibly adapted to occupancy situations.
The industry also scores highly in terms of sustainability with innovations such as cleaning products with environmentally friendly formulas, EU Ecolabel certification and recyclable packaging, all of which reduce the ecological footprint. Concentrates and refill systems save resources and ensure greater efficiency in everyday use.
In addition to the exhibition, the theme day offers an opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues from the hotel industry and experts in the CMS Practice Forum (Hall 6.2b). After the get-together at the networking breakfast, the programme will focus on key topics such as challenges and developments in housekeeping and robotics trends in the hotel industry with a panel discussion starting at 10:45 a.m. The Hotel Competence Centre and the Housekeeping Academy, among others, will provide inspiration. SapoCycle will then present hotel soap recycling for a good cause. After the presentations at 12 noon, participants can take a guided tour to experience innovations from selected exhibitors that are particularly suitable for housekeeping. Finally, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., the general meeting of the Professional Association for Housekeeping will take place at the Marshall Haus for invited participants.
