Why Janitorial Distributors Can Help You Save Time And Money

By April Briggs


As you are starting a new cleaning business, whether for commercial properties or private homes, you will need to have a lot of things to work with. You will need employees, of course, and you will also need equipment. The largest group of items you need will be dusters, chemicals, cloths, sponges and most of all, information. For all of those reasons, you need to contact and do business with the local janitorial distributors available.

The big manufacturers of cleaning products, equipment and supplies have set up many of these store fronts to showcase their items. Some shelf space will be devoted to other brands so a complete line of products can be shown. Other stores will actually be independents and offer shelving to all brands. This makes it easy for customers to find what they need or have information about where to go.

Chemicals are critical as no real cleaning can be accomplished without them. You must have a cleansing agent that removes the bond between the soils and the surface being cleaned. You will need a hard surface cleaner as well as a disinfectant. Other chemicals, such as for carpet cleaning and polishing are also needed and available.

One other thing that you know you will need, for all chemicals you use, is a Material Safety Data Sheet, or MSDS. Federal and local regulations require you to have one of these for each chemical. These list hazardous ingredients, if any, and have emergency first aid measures in case of contamination. This store will have access to them for all of the chemicals they offer and many will have access, online, for many others.

All of the various floor machines will be represented here as well. Vacuums, carpet cleaners and buffers make up the lions share of these pieces of equipment. You will be able to read the printed information and ask questions of the employees to find out which is which. The ability to try each piece out, in the back room, will enable you to make an educated decision before purchase.

Information is one of the main thing people come in here for. They are looking for the information about the processes they want to improve. They need information about which tool or supply is the best for what task. They are interested in learning what items can be used for two or more processes or tasks. They also need to know what must be done before other things can be attempted.

Some of the best information comes from the other clients, standing around. Most of them are probably drinking coffee or water and, possibly eating popcorn that is always cooking. They are often quite anxious to share all about what works for them and, specifically, what does not work. They can help you understand what items are best for some things, regardless of what they are advertized for.

There are many opportunities to learn about all of the many things that you do not understand about the cleaning business. The employees are helpful and the other customers will do their part. All of the things you need to use and all of the things you need to know are available if you simply walk into the distributor of your choice.
