What to Look for When Buying Commercial Cleaning Supplies
There are a variety of commercial cleaning supplies out there, but not all of them will be ideal for your commercial cleaning business. Here are a few things that you need to consider when looking for commercial cleaning products.
- Durability: You need commercial cleaning products like mops and buckets that are made of durable and long-lasting material that can withstand daily use. Durable products might be a bit costly in the short run, but they are reliable and also tend to be more cost-effective in the long run.
- Size of the area: Consider the size of the areas that you will be cleaning. This will determine the size for the product you will buy. Large surface areas need supplies that come in larger sizes.
- Environment: The commercial spaces that you are cleaning will also determine the products that you choose. For instance, hospital operating rooms and cares homes for the elderly will need cleaning supplies that provide high hygiene levels. Alternatively, spaces used by people with allergies might benefit from the use of eco-friendly products made from natural ingredients.
- Stains: Just as important as the environment is understanding the kind of stains that you will be dealing with. Some commercial properties such as stadiums and restaurants will often have tough stains that need to be removed. You need to correctly select the right type of products that can quickly and easily remove the stains without any damage.
- Time and Weight: Keep in mind the amount of time you spend using your commercial cleaning products. If it is for extended periods of time, ensure your commercial cleaning supplies come with ergonomic handles that help avoid hand fatigue and non-marking casters that make it easy for you to move your products without marking the floor. Consider the weight of the products too. You need products that you can easily move from one floor to another.
