All custodial companies need a ready supply of materials, supplies, chemicals and equipment to perform their jobs and your company is no different. Whether you are a contract cleaning company or the janitorial department head of a larger firm, you need stuff to make your cleaning possible. That is the reason for janitorial distributors to be in business.

One of the problems you have when dealing with only one manufacturer is that you only have access to one manufacturer. The distributors, on the other hand, will represent all of the main brands. This is helpful as you can compare the good and the bad and make your own mind up about what is right for you and your cleaners.

There are a lot of the various floor machines available for viewing. They will be able to be plugged in and turned on. This is helpful when you are needing quiet equipment, such as when you are cleaning hotels or medical buildings. The ability to try them out, usually in a back room, will help you know which one is the one you will want.

Whether you are looking for floor scrubbers, auto scrubbers or even carpet cleaners, they are all there. This may not be a service you offer your clients but this is also a good stream of income with a little training. The information, training and all of the chemicals can be obtained from these professionals and a new department can make you more money and a better reputation.

Looking for the many vacuums that all cleaning departments need, you can find them all here. There are backpacks as well as the upright favored by many. Low lying canisters and battery powered ones are also on display. You can find machines that are absolutely necessary that come in widths ranging from about 36 inches down to as thin as eight inches.

Chemicals as well as the vital information needed to use them more effectively are also on display. The MSDSs that are required by law are there for consultation and copies can be made from the masters they have. You will be able to discuss the efficacy of each solution you are looking at with the employees and other professionals showing up. This is probably one of the best reasons for taking a few minutes to acquaint yourself with this store.

Small hand tools such as putty knives and brushes as well as softer items, such as towels and cloths are also there. You will find all of these available and the ability to compare each of them to find the best for your tasks. You might be surprised to find that the ones you may be using now are not the best and the employees there can show you a few things as well.

The truth of the matter is that if the distributors do not have the information, you may not be able to find it. The employees and the customers, some of them your competition, will be able to help you more than you can find reading any manual or e book around. To learn how to clean and handle customer relations, talk to a professional. To learn more than that, talk to your competition and suppliers who do this every day.
