What To Consider When Choosing Janitorial Supply Distributors

By Annabelle Holman


Cleaning products are utilized in both residential and commercial properties. Janitorial supplies are also utilized by cleaning service providers, governmental agencies, healthcare institutions and educational institutions. In order to meet the needs of their customers, retailers of cleaning supplies should buy them from good janitorial supply distributors.

The major factors that retailers may consider as they choose a distributor include their brand preference, budget and quality judgment. They should also consider several other things as they select a distributor. One of them is the expertise of the suppliers. Distributors that have been in business for many years are more experienced and can serve retailers better.

Some distributors carry a wide range of cleaning supplies but others specialize in certain supplies such as carpet cleaning products, vacuum cleaners and restroom cleaners among others. The advantage of ordering supplies from a company that offers a wide range of supplies is being able to find anything you want from the same wholesaler.

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.

Considering the materials and ingredients that have been used to make the products is also important. Buy products from a distributor who sells eco friendly products. Such products do not contain toxic and non biodegradable materials that cause pollution. It is advisable to only buy biodegradable brooms, wringers, floor pads, garbage bags and mops.

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.

The other quality that retailers should look for is reliability. They should select a distributor who can fill orders in a timely fashion and sells supplies that are consistent in quality. To find a reliable wholesaler, people who sell cleaning supplies can carry out research about the distributors in their area. They can gather information from the websites of a number of wholesalers to know about the products available, promotions and extra services provided.

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.
