You know that you can save money on janitorial cleaning supplies and use better, more powerful cleaning products if you know how to manage your cleaning status.
Decide on what janitorial supplies you must use because each has their own functions. Multipurpose cleaners are used for mopping floors as well as for general cleaning while a glass cleaner can be used for all hard surfaces. A disinfectant cleaner is used to clean areas that need to be sanitized like the kitchen and the bathroom areas. A porcelain cleaner is a mild acid cleaner to remove hard water and urine salts from toilets and bathroom fixtures. A bowl cleaner is a stronger type which has more caustic acid to clean salts and hard water from toilet bowls.
Try browsing in your local phone book and find a commercial janitorial supplies company. There should be several of them in larger to moderate size areas. Call and ask if they sell to their products to the market. Some will only sell to the cleaning service providers, but most will be happy to sell their janitorial supplies to the general public. Most will sell in less than full cases and general purpose cleaners, disinfectants and some glass cleaners will only be sold in one gallon bottles. The larger sizes will seem like it costs more, but their prices are much lower than those heavily advertised and packaged grocery store products. Some glass cleaner and other products are sold in concentrated forms that will first be needed to mix with up to five gallons of water. Avoid using these products in your homes because of its strong contents.
Buy and use the products you only need in order to compress the expenses. Take note that these are commercial grade janitorial products that are more concentrated and stronger than grocery store products. You only need fewer janitorial supplies especially at home as they will also clean better.
You can use your quality made and sturdy colored cloths instead of costly paper towels. Make color codes for the cloths that will be used by room, for example blue for kitchen or green for bathroom. Clean and wipe any spills with the cloths and then wash them. Of course you don’t want to pay for something that you will just throw away and will not help the environment. Keep your old spray bottles, wash them out and then mix your own spray cleaners so that you don’t have to buy another set of spray bottles which costs you a lot. Stretch the life of your sponges by hurling them in the dishwasher at least once a week. Not only does it sanitize but it also extends the life of the sponges. These janitorial supplies can also compliment the sturdy cloths that you have.
Always remember that it takes a while to get into the habit of doing new things so don t give up. It is worth it when you can save money by changing just a few of your habits. And by using your imagination and come up with ideas on how to save money on janitorial supplies, you can definitely wash away not only the household dirt but also the clutter of spending too much.
