What The Janitorial Supply Distributors Can Do For You

By Leslie Ball


Whether you have a cleaning business or are the facility manager at a medium to large company, you need stuff to handle all of the cleaning you are responsible for. That means you need machines, small tools, cloths and chemicals. Finding the correct item, in a grocery store, is not only hard to do but the quality, quantity and knowledge you need will not be there. Find the material you need at one of the local janitorial supply distributors.

When your are starting your own cleaning business, you may be confused about all of the many different things available to you. You have been told, by others, what you absolutely should have, but this is more confusing because sometimes it does not make sense. Go into one of these distributor stores and you can, immediately, be set at ease. The employees, here, will help you understand what is what and what is actually needed, based on the tasks or industry you are cleaning.

All of the small stuff, like dusters, some of them extendable and some curved into neat shapes for getting into small places, are on display. Cloths, like the old line terry cloth and the new micro fiber ones. There are other engineered fabrics that attract and hold onto dust better. You can learn about each one as you talk with the personnel who uses every one of them each day.

The chemicals that are available are some of those things that make you scratch your head. There are multiple use formulations, many of which may not work if not used properly. There are those solutions that are best used for one thing and not another, and those that require special knowledge before opening the bottle or can. Helping you reduce the number of chemicals will be part of these experts role as this saves you time, trouble, money and the environment.

There are the dizzying number of brushes, putty knives, squeegees and small and large buckets you must look into. Brushes are handy for small detail work and no one wants to go into a floor stripping project without a few putty knives. The squeegees, themselves, are worth a conversation with someone who uses them all of the time.

The floor machines, such as a carpet cleaner, scrubber or stripper might scare you at first. If you are going to be doing floor maintenance, this part of the store needs your attention. Setting there, ready for an inspection and try out, these pieces of equipment do not have to scare you when you find out, from the personnel here, what they are for and how to use them. Vacuums are necessary for any cleaning.

One of the best things about going into this type of store is the information you gain and the experiences you hear about. Much of all of that, of course, will come from the employees and a lot of it will come from the friendly customers standing around. There are all kinds of ways to use a particular tool or machine. A simple question directed at any client there will bring some advice or technique for its use.

Saving time is something on every ones list of activities. The embarrassment you can save by always having the correct tools, supplies and knowledge to perform your tasks is a nice feeling too. These are what these stores help you with whenever you come in with a problem or a question. You may, also, share a cup of coffee and some popcorn if the machine is running.
