A Guide To Selecting Janitorial Supply Distributors

By Annabelle Holman


Janitorial supplies are a necessity in homes and places of work. They help people keep their homes and business premises clean. These supplies are also used by cleaning companies, hospitals, government agencies and education institution among other entities. If you own a store that sells cleaning supplies, you should order them from reputable janitorial supply distributors.

The decision to choose a particular supplier mainly depends on your budget, brand preference and quality judgment. In order to choose the right distributor of cleaning supplies, it is important to consider several things. One of the things to consider is the professional expertise of the distributor. You can gauge this by considering the number of years the distributor has been in business.

Some distributers concentrate in supplying certain products like carpet cleaning products, restroom cleaners and vacuum cleaners among other supplies while others specialize in distributing many different types of cleaning supplies. Ordering supplies from distributors who sells different kinds of supplies is beneficial because you can find what you want from a single supplier.

The other important thing to consider as you choose a supplier of cleaning products is price. Select a distributor who sells high quality products at reasonable prices. Since some less expensive products may be of low quality, it is wise to sample various products so that you can know if they offer high cleaning quality. Buying cleaning supplies in bulk will help you increase profits. You may also choose to buy the products that are on a clearance sale.

Another important factor to consider is the ingredients and materials used to make cleaning products. Look for a distributor who sells environmentally friendly products. These products help minimize the non biodegradable and toxic materials that end up causing pollution. It is imperative to try as much as you can to ensure that you only purchase biodegradable garbage bags, brooms, mops, wringers and floor pads among others.

You should also purchase environmentally friendly detergents, disinfectants and air fresheners. It is also advisable to find out if the distributor offers on site seminars and training for staff on how to use the supplies. This is a common service that distributors offer in order to promote new product lines. You should also find out if the distributor has a strong cash flow. This can provide you with peace of mind by knowing that the firm will not go out of business when you least expected.

Another quality of good distributors of cleaning supplies is reliability. Choose a firm that is able to fill orders in a timely fashion. The quality of the supplies also needs to be consistent. Conducting research about the vendors of janitorial supplies in your area is also important. You can visit the websites of various distributors to get information about the products they sell, promotions and additional services.

Using the services of wholesalers who are situated in your area is also wise because you will not have to spend a lot of money on delivery fees. If the ideal distributor is not located close to your business premises, find out how much you will pay to have the supplies you need delivered and if the firm has special delivery solutions. When searching for a janitorial supply firm, you may also seek referrals from people you trust.
