CETA POWERCLEAN 2025 Recap: 35 Years of Innovation, Education, and Connection

This year marked a milestone for the Cleaning Equipment Trade Association. POWERCLEAN 2025 was hosted at the Peppermill in Reno, Nevada, and it was clear from the moment attendees arrived that CETA pulled out all the stops to celebrate its 35th year. From the golf tournament and Women of CETA luncheon to cutting-edge innovation showcases and packed education sessions, this event highlighted why PowerClean is the premier gathering for our industry.

Education and Training That Drive Growth

The week kicked off with impactful classes and workshops. Attendees gained insights into business strategy, sales techniques, marketing best practices, and technical training. Sessions were designed to help distributors, manufacturers, and contractors sharpen their skills and take home actionable ideas to grow their businesses.

Outdoor Demos and Exhibits at the Peppermill

One of the highlights of the week was the outdoor demonstrations held against the backdrop of the Peppermill. Live demos gave attendees a chance to see equipment in action and connect with manufacturers face-to-face. When the exhibit hall opened, the energy was high as vendors showcased new technology, innovative solutions, and industry-leading products.

.Celebrating 35 Years with Innovation Awards

The CETA Innovation Awards put a spotlight on companies pushing the industry forward.

• Wash Works Supply and DELCO entered and introduced the Dual Wash Pro, a plug-and-play system that switches effortlessly between pressure washing and soft washing without wires or electronics.

• Karcher brought equipment monitoring tools for battery-powered equipment with geofencing and service tracking, as well as a Venturi fan tip designed for unmatched spray performance.

• Mi-T-M presented new cold water belt drive pressure washers and softwash skids equipped with P40 pumps on powder-coated aluminum frames, expanding options for dealers and contractors.

• Comet displayed their P40 softwash pump integrated into new system builds, delivering high flow and reliability for contractors who need consistent softwash performance in demanding applications.

• PSI showcased two big innovations this year. First, the Pressure Ranger with Batch Bandit, a hi-flow pressure washing system with integrated chemical application. Powered by Honda engines and featuring blend manifolds with metering valves, it allows contractors to switch between high pressure, softwash, and chemical rinsing with speed and precision. Second, PSI introduced the Chain Gang Poly Chain, a heavy-duty, long-life poly chain system designed to increase durability, reduce maintenance, and give contractors a reliable upgrade option for demanding field conditions.

Each of these innovations reflected the forward-thinking spirit that CETA PowerClean is known for.

Innovation Award Winner: DELCO Dual Wash Pro

One of the most celebrated moments of POWERCLEAN 2025 was the announcement of DELCO as the winner of the Innovation Award for their Dual Wash Pro.

This groundbreaking system allows contractors to transition seamlessly between soft washing and pressure washing in a single, plug-and-play design. With chemical-resistant seals, stainless steel fittings, and no wires or electronics required, the Dual Wash Pro sets a new standard for durability and efficiency. DELCO’s innovation simplifies workflows, reduces equipment needs, and delivers the kind of flexibility that contractors have been waiting for.
