The seventh edition of the Middle East Cleaning, Hygiene and Facilities Awards was celebrated on 18th April 2025 with a simple, but meaningful mission - to give the commercial cleaning and hygiene industry the recognition it truly deserves. 

Let’s take a moment to reflect on something extraordinary: Dubai has been ranked the cleanest city in the world, not once, but for consecutive years. That title didn’t come easy—it came from the hard work of the commercial cleaning industry. Therefore, we believe that this industry needs to be recognised and rewarded - and we do it through the MECHF Awards. 

This year, we received over 220 nominations—the highest ever. These entries underwent multiple layers of evaluation, and finally landed in the capable hands of our six-member jury—experts who were generous enough to give their time and insights to help us select the best of the best. 2 of our categories also went for public voting. 

Here is revealing the winners and highlights of the awards.
