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.

A good portion of these operations are set up to provide a store front for the major manufacturers of cleaning products. They will also offer shelf space for some of the other makers products to provide a complete mix of products. Some of them will be independents that will offer all makes and models as well as brands so their customers will have access to more products than ever.

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.

Material Safety Data Sheets or MSDSs, for each chemical you use must be obtained and these are available at these stores. This sheet will mention things such as dangerous ingredients and appropriate first aid measures should someone get contaminated. The employees at these locations will provide these sheets so you are in compliance with the regulations promulgated by federal and many local jurisdictions.

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 what this store is about. If you are just starting your cleaning business, or if you are just setting up a cleaning department in a large company, you need to know a lot of things. The employees, manning the counter, have worked with everything in the place and can give you the results of their inquiries. They can assist in finding the correct cloth, sponge, mop, bucket, duster or machine for every task you are going to meet.

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 a great many things that can be found that can be used to satisfy your clients. The time it takes to experiment with all of them will make it hard to actually get started on your new enterprise. By using this distributor to wade through all of the conflicting data, you save time, money, trouble and have a higher learning curve for all that comes next.
