The Expertise Gained From A Visit To The Janitorial Distributors In Your Area

By April Briggs


Starting a new cleaning business means you need quite a few things. One of those, of course are employees to help you clean clients buildings or homes. That might be satisfied, just getting started, by employing out of work friends and relatives. You also need floor machines, mops, buckets and all of the other small items that must be used to get things clean, not to mention chemicals. That is why you need to find and use one of the Janitorial distributors around town.

A good portion of these operations are set up to provide a store front for the major manufacturers of cleaning products. They will also offer shelf space for some of the other makers products to provide a complete mix of products. Some of them will be independents that will offer all makes and models as well as brands so their customers will have access to more products than ever.

Chemicals are critical as no real cleaning can be accomplished without them. You must have a cleansing agent that removes the bond between the soils and the surface being cleaned. You will need a hard surface cleaner as well as a disinfectant. Other chemicals, such as for carpet cleaning and polishing are also needed and available.

One other thing that you know you will need, for all chemicals you use, is a Material Safety Data Sheet, or MSDS. Federal and local regulations require you to have one of these for each chemical. These list hazardous ingredients, if any, and have emergency first aid measures in case of contamination. This store will have access to them for all of the chemicals they offer and many will have access, online, for many others.

All of the various floor machines will be represented here as well. Vacuums, carpet cleaners and buffers make up the lions share of these pieces of equipment. You will be able to read the printed information and ask questions of the employees to find out which is which. The ability to try each piece out, in the back room, will enable you to make an educated decision before purchase.

Information is one of the main thing people come in here for. They are looking for the information about the processes they want to improve. They need information about which tool or supply is the best for what task. They are interested in learning what items can be used for two or more processes or tasks. They also need to know what must be done before other things can be attempted.

It is not only the employees that can provide information to you. The other clients, standing around, drinking coffee or eating popcorn are anxious to share their tales with you as well. This will often help you overcome a particular problem you are having when another professional can fill in the blanks of your experience.

There are a great many things that can be found that can be used to satisfy your clients. The time it takes to experiment with all of them will make it hard to actually get started on your new enterprise. By using this distributor to wade through all of the conflicting data, you save time, money, trouble and have a higher learning curve for all that comes next.
