TIP #1 SUPPLIES PART 1:
These days just about every business owner is trying to cut costs. Unfortunately, cutting costs can easily snowball into cutting corners – especially for professional cleaners. And this challenge is becoming even more difficult as the total cost of janitorial supplies continues to rise across the globe.
Purchase Your Janitorial Supplies Online
Purchasing janitorial products online is a great way to increase efficiency. You will have access to a variety of manufacturers and wholesale suppliers– where you’ll then have the option to purchase all of your supplies in one fell swoop or pick-and-chose as you see economically fit. In some cases, you might also benefit from decreased costs. Most online stores have a lower overhead cost, which means you will also see a bit of savings.
Always Buy Products in Bulk
Assuming you have enough storage space handy, buying in bulk is by far one of the best ways to greatly reduce cost.
Purchase Green Commercial Cleaning Products
Even though it’s not always possible to purchase all green cleaning products, you should when you can. The initial costs might seem higher, but in the long run you’ll save money in a number of ways:
First, green products use less packaging – which translates into lower shipping costs.
Second, environmentally-friendly cleaning products are non-toxic. As a result, professional cleaners are at a lower risk of work-related injuries (and subsequent workman’s comp).
Third, green cleaners are kinder to building surfaces. This means your facility will experience less wear and tear related to chemical cleaner exposure over time
