What You Should Look For In Janitorial Distributors

By Harriet Porter


Schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and offices that experience frequent human traffic usually have high demand for hygiene practices. With janitorial distributors, they offer comprehensive cleaning solutions ranging from antiseptics, disinfectants, and skin cleaners, to equipment such as trash carts, liners and bins, floor mats among others. Consumers have been left spoilt of choice by the many internet and notice board advertisements from different people offering these services.

One important factor to consider is the ease in usability of the products. Going for contents put in spraying cans for example will facilitate their application process especially on walls. The substances should also be able to react efficiently with the stains without requiring much scrubbing. In addition, they must be soluble enough so as to make them easy to rinse.

The containers should also allow them to be easily spread. Products with strong perfumes are not good for public places. Many people not only find them irritating but may also develop allergies against them. If the management wants to keep customers coming and to enhance return visits, it is recommended that the institution finds a supplier that can provide odourless or less smelly chemicals especially for waiting rooms and the ablutions where clients go to frequently.

With the rising concern over environment, there is a need to pursue a non-toxic approach to cleaning. Despite the alarm over the carcinogenic content of certain brands, many managers have not given a thought over the harm they are exposing people to by ignoring friendly yet effective alternatives. It is not a surprise that companies are spending millions annually in compensation for janitors who sustain serious injuries from such products.

Managements should also put environment into the picture while deciding on cleaning options. While there are friendly yet still effective alternatives, some people still go for brands containing red-flagged constituents. Prolonged use of carcinogenic substances for instance has caused fatalities to many.

In addition, failure to observe regulations regarding the use of chemicals may land your firm in trouble. Managements for instance should be aware of the zinc limits for sewers and storm water regulations. There is also a set standard for indoor air quality that may be surpassed by overuse of certain disinfectants.

Remember also that some disinfectants must not be used in public rooms and offices or else you might break the regulations on indoor air quality. A competitive supplier will not forget to mention to you these and other rules. The contractor should also give training to your staff on the use of these equipment and products.

Take time to look at the background of a firm, its years of experience, and what people say about it before enlisting for the services. The image of these cleaning and sanitary product distributors is determined by the kind of products they offer. Consumers are particularly sensitive to the kind of environment they stay whether at home or work and the kind of products they are using. Every one is going green now and it all starts with you, your home, your company, and workplace.
