Using The Janitorial Distributors Will Make You A Better Cleaner

By Leslie Ball


It does not matter whether you have started a cleaning business or are a facility manager, responsible for maintaining a cleaning crew, you need tools, equipment, supplies and chemicals to perform these tasks. You also need information. The place to obtain all of this is at a local janitorial distributors location.

The type of tools you need will be hand tools, such as putty knives, brushes, buckets and brooms, mops and dust pans. These will be on display and available for testing to find the best ones for each situation. The employees will be there to assist you in finding the right size, shape and weight for each cleaner.

Floor machines, such a vacuums, carpet cleaners and even pressure washers can be examined in detail. Identifying the best possible mix of machines, regardless of brand, will enable you and your cleaners to provide professional service to your clients. Testing them out, in a back room of most of these stores, will assist in learning things you may not have known about their abilities and functions.

Supplies are all of those things that are used to get into the hidden places for dust and dirt. Cloths, dusters and mops, regardless of material used are vital. All of these are on display for touching and using so that each item can be selected for their functionality in hands on operation. Terry cloth is an old line, material and micro fiber cloth is the newer replacement, but sometimes the old line stuff is better.

Chemicals are the key to being able to work smarter, not harder. The correct formulation, both traditional and environmentally friendly, are available for inspection. Talking with the employees of the store and friendly customers will help you get the right ones and eliminate from your cleaning carts any bad ones. This helps you keep your expenses down to manageable levels.

All chemicals, because of safety concerns and possible reactions to other compounds, need Material Safety Data Sheets, or MSDs. These are required by federal and many local regulations. These janitorial supply houses will assist you in gaining these sheets. This will include for those chemicals they do not stock as their databases are inclusive for all cleaning agents, coatings and compounds for any custodial purpose.

The most important thing about these professional locations is the information about all of the things needed for proper cleaning and how others use them to great benefit. This information is found in more places than the published literature that is offered. It is in the informal communication of professional to professional that occurs between customers standing around.

Most of these companies will be promoting a particular line or brand of chemicals, almost to the exclusion of others, however, they will help you see what is available. They will have one or two lines of equipment and that shows you what to look for in other brands, at other locations. The knowledge they impart and the access to others with specific experiences that will help you in your current situation is a very good deal as all of this is free.
