5 Stars shining on a golden background. Five star award.

Voting is currently underway for the Sanitary Maintenance 2023 Distributor Choice Award, sponsored by Optisolve. This program is jan/san distributors’ chance to highlight the products that have made a difference for their businesses and customers.

Sanitary Maintenance subscribers recently received a ballot in their email inboxes with the opportunity to choose their top three products considered to be the best in the industry. Distributors identify their favorite products for whatever reason they decide: best selling, most preferred, most recommended, most innovative, etc.

After the first round of voting, the current leaders are (in no particular order):

Chemicals — This was too close to limit the list to just three.

  •   Re-Nu! 1-2-3 from The InnuScience Group
  •   Sani-Cloth Prime wipes from PDI
  •   Sani-Cloth Bleach wipes from PDI
  •   H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 from EnvirOx


Restroom Dispensers, Fixtures and Consumables

  •   Compact Coreless Toilet Paper Systems from GP PRO
  •   BIOtouchless TP-100 touchless, automatic toilet paper dispenser from BIOtouchless
  •   Double Toilet Bowl Clip from AeroWest International  


Equipment and Accessories — This is a race to watch because voting is very tight.

  •   Antimicrobial Floor Pads from ACS Industries Inc.
  •   KaiVac 1750 No-Touch Cleaning System from Kaivac, Inc.
  •   SmartScrub from Americo Manufacturing
  •   Flex Scrub from The Malish Corporation


Cleaning Tools

  •   Tork Biobased Heavy-Duty Cleaning Cloth from Essity
  •   MW-70-CPJ-2 from Berk International
  •   HydroPower Ultra from Unger Enterprise


Technology & Innovation

  •   ALLORGANIC USDA Certified Organic Hand Soap from Charlotte Products
  •   KaiVac 1750 No-Touch Cleaning System from Kaivac, Inc.
  •   Vaask from Vaask


Health & Wellness — This is another very close race for the top three slots.

  •   KaiVac 1750 No-Touch Cleaning System from Kaivac, Inc.
  •   NaceCare RBV 150NX Battery Vacuum Backpack with HEPA Option from NaceCare Solutions
  •   Viking Pure Electrolyzed Water Generator from Viking Pure Solutions
  •   The Scentilator Dry Vapor Mist Diffuser from Air-Scent International
  •   HUBSCRUB Model 20/80-UV from Hubscrub Co. Inc.


Two more rounds of voting remain. Subscribers of Sanitary Maintenance newsletters who have not yet voted should check their email inboxes later this week for a ballot.

In the end, three product winners in each category will be named Sanitary Maintenance 2023 Distributor Choice Award winners. They will be featured in the June 2023 issue of Sanitary Maintenance magazine.
