3 Must-Have Janitor Supplies

When it comes to running a business, it’s important to always look at the big picture. It’s not about offering a great product or service, or about providing competitive prices; it’s not about having the friendliest and most knowledgeable employees, and it’s not about your customer service skills or your store policies – it’s about all of these things together, working in harmony, and coming together to offer a competitive consumer experience that will keep you at the top of your industry. In addition to all these very important essentials for running a business, there is also the matter of cleanliness and appearances. You could have, by all other methods of measurement, a fantastic business, and great product or service, but if your customers enter to see dust, dirty floors, sticky counters, cobwebs, and other signs of negligence and filth – well, they probably won’t be back around.

Not every business owner has the luxury of a cleaning crew, and some companies may even be a one-man or -woman show. In these cases, here are the top janitorial products your business should have on-hand to make sure you’re ready to show everyone the best of your business.

Floor cleaner – We’re going to group this as one because it might very well be one. If you have carpets then a vacuum may well be all you need to keep the floors of your business looking great. If you have wood or tiles then you may need a combination of a broom and mop, but they’re both of equal importance. A business is more likely to see higher foot traffic than a private home, so keeping the floors clean is an even more valuable part of keeping appearances at their best.

Disinfecting wipes – When it comes to having a winning combination of top three supplies, disinfecting wipes are a huge necessity. Or, similarly, save money by getting yourself some all-purpose cleaner and some cheap rags. These great products can keep everything clean and healthy – from service counters to bathroom sinks, or wiping down registers and dusting shelves showing off your wares. A way to disinfect and clean surfaces is a must-have product for any business owner who wants to put his or her best foot forward.

Stain remover – Accidents happen, and it’s great to be prepared if they do. Stains can happen on carpets, curtains, or maybe even some very important displays for your store. Whether the offending stain is caused by an accident with a customer or a mishap with an employee, it’s great to know you have the supplies on hand to take care of it quickly so you can get back to the things that matter – running your business.
