Why Do You Buy Janitorial Supplies at Retail?

When you buy janitorial supplies at retail prices, you're taking money out of your own pocket. It may be easier for small companies to buy a bottle of bleach here or a jug of dish washing soap there, but is that an efficient way to run a business?

Don't Just Buy When Needed

There aren't many businesses out there that wait until they are out of paper before buying a few more reams. Without that paper, it means decreased efficiency, sales, and money. Businesses would never think of waiting until they were out of printer ink before buying a new one. Why do that with cleaning supplies?

When businesses purchase janitorial supplies in bulk or at wholesale prices, they're getting a month worth or more at a time. When one bottle of soap runs out, you don't have to run to the store to pick up another.

Cost Savings

Sure, there may be more of an upfront cost for buying in bulk, but you'll be saving money in the long run. The business isn't only paying wholesale prices, but it's buying less frequently. That translates to more time to grow and expand the business.

You can't just figure in the amount of money saved, but time as well. Time is as precious a commodity as money these days and the less time you spend searching for the best price for soap, the more time you have to work on your business.

It Just Makes Sense

Don't let those fancy bottles fool you in retail stores. Wholesale products work just as well if not better than retail brands, but lack the showy and flashy bottles.

Wholesale Janitorial Supplies Can Save Your Business Big Money

It's not uncommon for large businesses to use wholesale janitorial supplies for their large scale cleaning needs, but small businesses often overlook this simple way of saving money in the long run.

Big Box Economical is not Whole Sale Economical

Many times, a person is already at the big box store grabbing their bread and butter for the week when they happen to remember they need paper towels or floor cleaner at work. Rather than going back and trying to find the best deal, they simply head over to the proper aisle and choose the cheapest retail alternative.

If only they would have taken the time to check out wholesale alternatives, they could have saved themselves money. Wholesale products may be larger than standard retail products, but that just means they last longer and you have less trips to the store.

Less Flash Means Less Price

Companies spend large amounts of money on packaging and publicity campaigns to make sure their products look like the best, even if they aren't. They have to transfer the cost of these programs to the consumer in the forms higher prices.

Wholesale product companies don't worry about the flash and the glamour because they know their products are being used not because of their packaging, but because of cost and performance. You're getting a quality product that may not have the ribbons and bows, but rather gets the job done.

Big or Small doesn't Matter

Small businesses don't need to be relegated to retail prices. They can have their cake and eat it too by getting their cleaning supplies wholesale, just like the big guys.

Don't Get Stuck Paying Retail When There's Wholesale Cleaning Supplies

It's easy for businesses and even private citizens to forget about using wholesale cleaning supplies when there are so many retail options to choose from.

You Need Them, Why not get them Cheap?

Cleaning supplies are the kind of items that everyone needs – there is no way around it. The toilets aren't going to clean themselves, the dishes aren't going to magically become washed, and the trash won't simply disappear.

Every business and person needs cleaning supplies, so why not buy them wholesale? The financial bottom line for any business or household is important and if you can save money by buying wholesale, then why wouldn't you?

Wholesale doesn't Mean Low Quality

Retail outlets like to jazz up their various brands and companies package them in colorful boxes and bottles to catch your eye. They make it look like their product is the best so you should spend the extra $4.

The reality is that the products sold wholesale my not have pretty packaging, but they get the job done. These products often do as well as or better than their retail counterpart. The company isn't out to make a flashy product, but rather a good product.

Good for the Home or Office

Too often people think that wholesale products are meant for businesses and not home use. That's simply not true. The products often come in larger portions to handle a business clientele, but they can be used in the home as well. It will just last considerably longer than your existing cleaning supplies.  So go ahead and buy those wholesale cleaning supplies and you’ll never have to worry if you’re almost out of toilet cleaner.

Don't Forget To Buy Paper Towel Dispensers

Far too many businesses forget or simply don't want to buy paper towel dispensers, and it's turning customers off. How many times have you walked into a restroom of a business and seen a roll of paper towels just sitting on or near the sink. It makes shivers run down my spine.

Sanitation

We live in a world filled with germs and washing our hands is supposed to help us decrease the chances of exposure. Antibacterial soap and warm water can help eliminate germs, but when you wipe off your hands, the paper towels have to be clean as well.

The problems with freestanding paper towel rolls is people have to pick them up with both hands and pretty much manhandle it to get their towel ripped off.  Germs and even stains can be transferred to paper towels not being used at that time. A dispenser has people only touch the paper they are using.

Comfort and Aesthetics

When people wash their hands, water has a tendency to splash – this is especially true if you have children. A free standing paper towel roll is often set in a puddle and it soaks the water up, ruining an entire end. There is nothing worse than picking up a roll of soggy paper towels. Ick.

A paper towel dispenser keeps the paper covered, free of water, and is aesthetically more pleasing than a freestanding roll.

Ease

With so many paper towel dispenser types available from automatic to push delivered, it's never been easier to get paper towels. Simply put your hands under the sensor or push a lever and it delivers the perfect amount.
