Janitorial Supply

Getting a dispenser for items like feminine hygiene products, gloves, and paper towels has multiple benefits.

Dispensers Maintain Organization

Having items disseminated via dispenser means that it's easier to stay organized. When it comes to where products should be stocked and how much of a product is left, being able to install a dispenser and monitor the levels within it keeps guesswork out of your inventory process, saving you hassle and money on re-ordering supplies too early (spending funds prematurely) or too late (not having the supplies you need to do your job appropriately).

Dispensers Help Mitigate Theft

Even for free items like paper towels or gloves, having a way for people to have organized access to these items helps resist greed and theft. Taking an extra pair of gloves home is one thing, but taking half a box is another. Customers and employees will have a harder time overindulging if your products are distributed little by little instead of sitting in a basket or pile on a counter. This also reduces the amount of times you have to restock an item in a give time frame. For example, if you've had paper towels sitting in a stock on bathroom counters, you might have to replace this stack daily. But having the paper towels come out of a dispenser means that people can only grab so many at a time because they're given out automatically or have to be pulled out one by one. This helps dampen how many people take when they use the restroom and you might only have to restock a few times each week instead of every single day.

Dispensers Reduce Mess

If you're tired of seeing gloves surrounding the box instead of either in the box or on people's hands, you'll understand why having a dispenser makes a lot of sense for gloves and other janitorial supplies. By keeping your products organized, you keep your space cleaner. Paper towels are one of the worst offenders. How many times have you seen paper towels in the sink, on the floor, in the toilet, or even beside the garbage can when there was simply a stack of paper towels on the counter?

Each mop head is made of different materials and may have specific cleaning and maintenance instructions that you need to follow. However, a basic way to clean and sanitize most mop heads involves nothing more complicated that water, bleach, and a bucket.

Step 1: Rinse thoroughly

Run clean water over your mop head until the water comes away clear. This lets you know there's no more of the larger dirt deposits.

Step 2: Soak in a bleach solution

Make a hot water solution that is 1/32 bleach. You can do this with two gallons of hot water and a single cup of bleach. Let the mop soak in this solution for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Wring and dry

Remove the mop from its soak and wring it dry using your mop bucket's wringer. Then hang the mop up to dry and you're all done!

Microns are the units of measure for the thickness of trash can liners.

A single micron is equal to 1 millionth of a meter or 1 thousandth of a millimeter. Thicker bags will be around 20 microns, while thinner bags may be closer to 5 microns.

Thicker bags are often used for heavier or sharper items. This might include sticks, twigs, or construction waste. Thinner bags are often used for lighter, softer waste such as shredded paper, hair clippings, or grass. It's helpful to make both thicker and thinner bags part of your janitorial equipment.
