To make your business shine, you need the right cleaning tools. The first step to keeping your facility clean is to invest in quality equipment. There are several cleaning tools that every business should own to properly maintain the cleanliness of the facility. Here is a list of the cleaning tools, products, and equipment you need to get the job done properly and efficiently.
1. Floor cleaning equipment
When gathering your cleaning supplies, we recommend going from bottom to top as the floors take on some of the heaviest cleaning tasks – especially for facilities that have high foot traffic. Moisture, spills, gravel, sand, rocks, and more all require the right equipment to keep the floors clean, clear of debris, and safe for all who access the building.
Depending on what type of floors you have (carpet, tile, hardwood, etc), below are some of the most frequently used floor cleaning tools and equipment:
- Commercial vacuum cleaner
- Carpet extractor
- Commercial floor sweeper (can be used indoors or outdoors)
- Professional floor scrubber
- Mop and bucket
- General floor cleaning solution
2. General surface cleaner and microfibre cloths
All-purpose solutions are great for general cleaning of most surface areas, including countertops, desks, tables chairs, and office equipment. For glass or windows, you’ll want to use a glass cleaner that does not leave behind streaks.
We recommend using microfibre cloths with an all-purpose cleaner that are gentle enough not to scratch the surface while effectively picking up dust and debris. Many facilities colour code their microfibre cloths to prevent cross-contamination. See below for a full list of cleaning chemicals most facilities need.
3. Duster
Dusters are great for quick spot cleaning and effectively removing particles that can irritate allergies and sensitivities. We recommend opting for a washable and reusable duster with an adjustable handle to get into hard-to-reach areas.
4. Cleaning brushes
When it comes to cleaning tools, brushes of all shapes and sizes offer some of the greatest benefits – from quickly covering a lot of ground to taking care of the tiniest details. If you’re looking to improve the efficiency of cleaning tasks such as sweeping, removing stubborn stains, or getting into tight corners, switching or adding to your supply of cleaning brushes can make a world of difference!
