Cleaners, your cleaners if you run a custodial firm, can not perform their tasks without things. They need to have tools for various purposes, equipment, both large and small, as well as supplies and chemicals. They, and you, also need information and this all can be gained from a visit to one of your local janitorial distributors.
Tools, such as brushes, putty knives, brooms, mops and buckets, not to mention dust pans, are needed. All of these instruments will be displayed in these local store fronts for comparison. Finding the right size, shape, weight and in the appropriate materials is critical for ease of use in varying situations.
Floor machines, such a vacuums, carpet cleaners and even pressure washers can be examined in detail. Identifying the best possible mix of machines, regardless of brand, will enable you and your cleaners to provide professional service to your clients. Testing them out, in a back room of most of these stores, will assist in learning things you may not have known about their abilities and functions.
Supplies are all of those things that are used to get into the hidden places for dust and dirt. Cloths, dusters and mops, regardless of material used are vital. All of these are on display for touching and using so that each item can be selected for their functionality in hands on operation. Terry cloth is an old line, material and micro fiber cloth is the newer replacement, but sometimes the old line stuff is better.
Chemicals perform a function that is hard to duplicate in any other way. Working smarter, not harder means letting the chemicals, even if it is just fresh water, do their job first. Finding the correct formulation for each task can be as simple as talking with the professionals who use them every day. Old line and newer, environmentally friendly products are there for you to compare.
A very vital task that these informed personnel provide to you are the Material Safety Data Sheets, or MSDs that are required by federal and local regulations. These sheets list some of the ingredients and special precautions necessary for the proper use of the chemical it is prepared for. Having these are necessary for the safe handling of each chemical and your cleaning staff is better prepared when armed with them.
One of the best things about these stores is all of the information you can get through the informal training between customers standing in the lobby. They will be in the best position to help you understand how they get things done and how you can gain the same results. This information extends to businesses and private homes that are getting ready to change contract cleaning services.
Many of these supply stores only handle a few brands or lines of products. They know these very well and all of that knowledge can be transferred to other similar products. Small tools are very similar in nature, large equipment are extremely similar and chemicals are largely, with a few exceptions, made from the same stuff. It is the knowledge and experience gleaned from others that help you and your employees get better.
