Don’t know where to start when it comes to commercial cleaning supplies?

Read on for our quick guide on everything you need for your commercial cleaning needs.

Cleaning tools for commercial cleaning

The tools you need will vary depending on the commercial cleaning setting that requires attention.

However, there are a few tools that are almost universally used and others that are useful in many settings.

  • Broom, dustpan – Sweeping up debris is often necessary before disinfectants can be applied to surfaces. A sturdy broom with the appropriate bristles and head design for your needs will help make the job much easier.
  • Microfiber cloth – These lint-free, streak-free cloths can be used in a variety of ways; from window cleaning to mopping. It’s highly absorbent, which is great for cleaning up spills and also for retaining cleaning chemicals more effectively,
  • Squeegee – These common tools are essential for leaving a streak-free finish on windows, shower glass, and mirrors.
  • Bucket, mop – A wringer mop bucket combo is a useful combo for cleaning hard floors. A good mop will both easily absorb dirt and liquid, while also applying cleaning solution from the bucket. A wringer will help remove excess liquid from the mop head, allowing for faster drying after mopping.
  • Carpet extractor – While a vacuum cleaner can also be used to remove debris from carpet, a carpet extractor can provide superior cleaning performance. With the use of a cleaning solution, a carpet extractor can remove a wide range of dirt, grime, and even stains, leaving carpets looking much more vibrant.
  • Bowl brushes – No one loves toilet cleaning, which is why using a good toilet brush can make the job much easier. Things to look out for in a good toilet brush include stiff bristles, a brush head that can reach under the rim easily, and a long handle.
