When was the last time you entered your business’s cleaning supply closet? Don’t worry if it’s been a while, we don’t judge. But if you go to check your supply closet now and notice that it’s a little overcrowded and messy, then it’s time to get organized. Luckily for you, as a commercial cleaning company, we have some tips to help you turn things around.
- Go through all your supplies first. Before organizing and rearranging everything, take out all your cleaning supplies. Take an inventory of what you have, what you are short on, and what is expired or no longer safe to use.
- Clean the closet before organizing. Supply closets are easy to forget as part of your cleaning routine. So before you start organizing and putting everything back, clean your closet. Remove everything, and wash the floors, walls, and shelves to remove any dust or debris that has built up over time.
- Evaluate your cleaning products. Now that your closet is clean and ready to reorganize, you can evaluate your cleaning products. Ask yourself: which ones do you use? Which ones are most effective? Keep what you find useful and get rid of the rest. Make sure you follow proper disposal practices for any cleaning chemicals or solutions.
- Organize your tools by the job. There are many different ways you can organize your cleaning supply closet. We like to organize by the job. For example, storing all the floor cleaning stuff in one space and all the bathroom cleaning supplies in another. Make sure to label and organize your system, so it’s easy for you and your employees to find what you need.
- Follow best safety practices. The most important part of organizing a cleaning supply closet is following safety practices. This includes safely storing chemicals and supplies and hanging up safety posters, reminders, or other information. Make sure the MSDS and other safety materials are also easily accessible in your cleaning closet or nearby in the case of an emergency.
