Whoever said that starting or maintaining a cleaning company is inexpensive was definitely lying. There is nothing cheap about running a reputable company that’s worth its weight.
One thing that will help is to purchase in bulk. Some of the things you can buy are bulk are as follows:
a. paper towels
b. all cleaning products
c. rags
d. vinegar (this is a must-have product for natural companies and should be ordered in bulk)
e. protective gloves
f. equipment such as dusters, mops, brooms and even vacuums and floor pads to protect employees’ knees
g. replacement bags for the vacuum cleaner
In the long run, you will save money by buying products and equipment in bulk. And you will be spared the inconvenience of having to run back and forth to the local store, paying higher prices when employees run out of products. When you have bulk items set aside in a box, you are assured that these produts will last much longer.
Wipe from your mind the thought that running a cleaning company is inexpensive. Of course, if you are using your clients’ products and equipment, as opposed to your own, that may be true. But at UpperCrust Maids, we use our own products. To us, it’s more professional and employees are trained on their use.
Start surfing the web for places that you can go to buy your paper towels, etc. in bulk. You’ll be glad you did!
