Essential supplies for commercial cleaning

Don’t know where to start when it comes to commercial cleaning supplies?

Read on for our quick guide on everything you need for your commercial cleaning needs.

Cleaning tools for commercial cleaning

The tools you need will vary depending on the commercial cleaning setting that requires attention.

However, there are a few tools that are almost universally used and others that are useful in many settings.

  • Broom, dustpan – Sweeping up debris is often necessary before disinfectants can be applied to surfaces. A sturdy broom with the appropriate bristles and head design for your needs will help make the job much easier.
  • Microfiber cloth – These lint-free, streak-free cloths can be used in a variety of ways; from window cleaning to mopping. It’s highly absorbent, which is great for cleaning up spills and also for retaining cleaning chemicals more effectively,
  • Squeegee – These common tools are essential for leaving a streak-free finish on windows, shower glass, and mirrors.
  • Bucket, mop – A wringer mop bucket combo is a useful combo for cleaning hard floors. A good mop will both easily absorb dirt and liquid, while also applying cleaning solution from the bucket. A wringer will help remove excess liquid from the mop head, allowing for faster drying after mopping.
  • Carpet extractor – While a vacuum cleaner can also be used to remove debris from carpet, a carpet extractor can provide superior cleaning performance. With the use of a cleaning solution, a carpet extractor can remove a wide range of dirt, grime, and even stains, leaving carpets looking much more vibrant.
  • Bowl brushes – No one loves toilet cleaning, which is why using a good toilet brush can make the job much easier. Things to look out for in a good toilet brush include stiff bristles, a brush head that can reach under the rim easily, and a long handle.

PPE for commercial cleaning

PPE is a must for using most commercial cleaning products.

The degree of PPE you require varies depending on the product you’re using. Some might not only require gloves and protective glasses, while others may require overalls and a dust mask.

Below are the PPE we recommend you have on hand to cover you in most chemical cleaning situations:

  • Mask or respirator
  • Safety glasses or goggles
  • Gloves (nitrile or neoprene)
  • Overalls or apron
  • Non-slip shoes

Always ensure you have easy access to the product’s safety data sheet. It’s one of the quickest ways to access information about required PPE.

Conclusion

While these recommendations are comprehensive, they’re certainly not exhaustive. A solution customised to your needs can have better cleaning performance at a lower cost-in-use. We can help you put together the best cleaning product arsenal for your commercial cleaning setting.
