Published on September 27, 2022

As every building owner or facility manager knows, supplies of any kind can be expensive. Add in recent inflation and supply-chain issues, and you might be tempted to save money by purchasing cheaper, low-quality supplies for your facility. The problem with this short-term solution is it will end up costing you more money in the long run.

By letting City Wide manage your janitorial supplies, running out of toilet paper or soap will never be a concern. And, we offer competitive prices and expertise which will save your company time and money. 

We go into more detail below regarding the value of purchasing quality supplies for your commercial building. 

Quality cleaning supplies create an overall healthy environment

The main goal of your janitorial team is to clean your facility so it is an overall healthy environment for employees, building staff, and guests. Crews managed by City Wide will only use commercial grade cleaning agents approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Facilities are required to maintain a higher level of cleanliness because of threats such as COVID-19 and other illnesses to employees and production.

Quality commercial cleaning supplies are designed to provide a deep clean and are generally more effective than cheaper, over the counter cleaners. They are also designed to be used by professionals who understand the proper cleaning techniques and procedures necessary to deliver the level of cleanliness and safety you expect in your commercial facility. 

Commercial cleaning supplies are non-toxic

Quality commercial cleaning supplies are created with the proper formulas to be effective without being harmful. The EPA, OSHA, and other regulatory agencies require these products to be non-toxic. 

City Wide can manage your supplies for you at a competitive price, and with consistency and efficiency. We have established long-term relationships with supply vendors to bring you the best products at the best prices possible to meet the needs of your facility. Our ability to buy supplies in bulk, across the nation, benefits your budget while also bringing peace of mind that all cleaning solutions are safe for your facility and its occupants.

Typical household cleaning supplies are not the right fit for your commercial facility

Sometimes in offices or commercial facilities, household cleaners are used because they are more readily available than commercial cleaners. While it may be more convenient to purchase them due to their availability at your local retailer, in the long-term they might be doing more harm than good in a commercial facility. 

Like we said earlier, commercial facilities require a higher level of cleanliness because of regulations and the number of people who are working there. Professional cleaning supplies are made to be used by professional cleaners to deliver the expected level of clean. Household cleaners are not. 

Household cleaners only come in small quantities. Commercial cleaning supplies are available in larger quantities at a bulk-price discount. If you are using household cleaners in your facility, you will not have enough volume to properly cover the areas of concern, and you will end up spending more money in the long-term.
