Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Buy the best commercial cleaning equipment you can afford
Buy specialized commercial cleaning equipment if you have a contract for several large jobs. Although the specialized equipment will cost more in the beginning, the time saved in labor equals out in the long run-and your customers appreciate a job done on time.

Buy wholesale industrial cleaning equipment
Industrial cleaning equipment and supplies are cheaper if you buy from a supplier that sells wholesale, and only to businesses. You will need a sales tax number or employer identification number to qualify for wholesale prices.
I recommend: Browse through an online industrial cleaning equipment
catalogue from Janilink to get an idea about what is available and how much you can save.

Teach employees how to use industrial cleaning machines
New employees need to have basic information, as well as on-the-job training. Refreshers are also valuable tools to help current employees brush up on their knowledge and cleaning techniques.
I recommend: Teach your employees the correct way to clean various surfaces with
training DVD’s.
