People are always looking for a good deal, for ways to save money.  This is very evident in the Janitorial industry.  But as I have spoken about in the past, you do have to be careful with janitorial.  You do tend to get what you pay for!  If you are looking for some ways to save money on your commercial cleaning, here are some things to think about.

A very simple way to save money is making sure the cleaning crew is properly trained.  If they know how to clean effectively and efficiently, they will be in and out in no time!  They should have all of their tools on hand, have their color coded cloths to reduce cross-contamination and use the top down cleaning method.  Since time = money in the janitorial field, you couldn’t get an easier way to save money!

Another cost savings idea, is encouraging your customers to switch to automated or no touch dispensers.  Your customers can save money in product and maintenance by having a set about of soap or paper towel dispensed at each use.   Less product used + less need to consistantly check on the dispensers = save money!

Ever looked into using foam soap rather than liquid soap?  Foam soap is more “eco-friendly” because it is thinner, it uses less product to do the same thing and uses less water to rinse off your hands. This reduces your supply and cleaning costs as it doesn’t drip and clog drains either!

Finally, instead of using a mop and bucket application of cleaning products to the floors, use a good bucketless mop or a microfiber mop!  This reduces the amout time needed to clean the floor, reduces the amount of product and water used, reduces drying time and reduces danger to the public. 

These are 4 very simple ways to help both the customer and the janitorial company to save money. Contact you company and ask for these cost savings ideas, or a better idea…just call us!
