This week Cape Town is buzzing. From 4 to 9 October, creatives, brands, agencies and industry leaders from across Africa and the Middle East have taken over the city for Loeries Creative Week 2026. The awards nights at City Hall, the MasterClasses and Expo at the Homecoming Centre, the afterparty at Cabo Beach Club — it’s a full schedule of inspiration, networking and celebration.

While everyone else is focused on the work, the speakers and the trophies, our team at Imperial Cleaning has been quietly making sure the venues stay presentable from the first briefing to the last glass collected.

We’re on site throughout the event handling day-to-day cleaning, restocking and refreshing high-traffic areas, plus full waste management and removal. That means toilets, back-of-house spaces, catering zones, entrances and general litter control all stay under control so the organisers and guests can concentrate on what they came for.

Events of this scale generate a lot of activity in a short space of time. Floors get busy, bathrooms need constant attention, and waste builds up faster than most people realise. Having a dedicated cleaning team that knows how to work around guests without getting in the way makes a real difference. It’s the kind of support that doesn’t get noticed when it’s done properly — which is exactly the point.

This is the work we do every week through our event cleaning services. Whether it’s a multi-day creative festival, a corporate conference, a wedding or a large outdoor gathering, we cover the full cycle: pre-event preparation, support while the event is running, and a thorough clean once everyone has left. Waste management and removal is part of that package so venues are left ready for the next booking without extra hassle.

If you’re planning an event in Cape Town and want a team that can handle the practical side without fuss, take a look at what we offer: Event Cleaning Services.

We’re proud to be part of the Loeries week this year. It’s a reminder that great creative work deserves a clean, well-run setting — and that the people behind the scenes play their own quiet role in making the whole thing run smoothly.
