What To Consider When Choosing 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.

Price is the other important thing to consider when choosing a distributor of cleaning supplies. Order your supplies from a supplier who has high quality supplies and sells them at reasonable prices. Some cheap products may be of low quality and it is therefore advisable to sample different products to see which ones offer high cleaning quality. You can increase profits if you buy the products in bulk or buy supplies that are being sold at discounted prices during a clearance sale.

The other thing that retailers should consider is the materials and ingredients used to make janitorial supplies. It is important to purchase environmentally friendly supplies. These supplies do not contain toxic or non biodegradable materials that can harm the environment. If retailers buy biodegradable garbage bags, wringers, mops and floor pads among others, they can make a contribution to environmental conservation efforts.

The detergents, air fresheners and disinfectants you purchase should also be eco friendly. You should also get to know whether the supplier offers onsite training and seminars for staff on how the products should be used. In most cases, distributors offer these services if they want to promote a new product. It is also advisable to find out how strong the cash flow of the distributor is. In this way, you can rest assured that the company will not stop supplying the products to you due to financial constraints.

Reliability is the other quality you should look for. It is advisable to choose a company that can deliver orders on time. You should also select a company that is able to distribute products that have consistent quality. It is wise to carry out research about the distributors of janitorial products in your city. You can browse through the sites of several distributors to find out the kind of products they sell, additional services and promotions.

It is also wise for retail store owners to buy cleaning products from distributors who are located in their city so that they will not have to spend much on delivery charges. They can also choose to buy the products from suppliers who are situated far away if the suppliers do not charge much for the delivery of products. As they search for a distributor of cleaning products, retailers can also seek recommendations from their business colleagues.
