Why Janitorial Distributors Can Help You Save Time And Money

By April Briggs


No matter how sincerely you want to make your new cleaning business a success, you need a lot of things to make this happen. You will need equipment, such as floor machines. You will need smaller items, such as cloths and dusters and you need chemicals. You also need information. Information about processes, techniques and other resources and the best place to get all of these things is one of the local janitorial distributors.

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 one of the most important items you can purchase. There is no cleaning done unless you have a chemical, working on a soil to break its bond from the surface. You will need a hard surface cleaner, a disinfectant, glass cleaner and something for harder to remove soils. That will get you started and this location will assist in finding the right ones, in concentrated forms.

The thing about chemicals is that some of them can be dangerous if handled improperly. Material Safety Data Sheets, or MSDSs must be on hand, at the location they are being used. This is a federal as well as local regulation and the stores you do business with will have access to them for you. Some of them will have the sheets for products they do not have to make this regulation easy for you to follow.

Floor machines, such as vacuums, carpet cleaners and buffers will be available for inspection. There are quite a few models and brands to look at and some of them are expensive. Using them, before you purchase, can be arraigned by having a room, usually in the back, where you can try them out

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.

A vast majority of the best information that is available is from the other customers in the store. They are usually standing around, talking to each other while drinking coffee or eating popcorn. They can assist you in knowing what items work as advertized and which probably do not.

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.
