The Essential Cleaning Products & Supplies

While cleaning is essential no matter what industry your business is in, it can be difficult to know exactly where to start and which hygiene products you should invest in. As businesses look to save money where they can, following the challenges faced during the pandemic, buying effective cleaning products should be prioritised. While investing in so many cleaning and hygiene products may not be something you have had to think about before, they are definitely needed now and to maintain high hygiene levels in the future. Not only will maintaining a hygienic workplace environment prevent the spread of bacteria as germs can spread far more quickly in an unclean environment but it will reduce absenteeism due to illness, saving your business significant costs. A clean workspace also helps to promote positive employee well-being, give people confidence that you take health and safety seriously, increased productivity and engagement, and create a good impression for anyone who may use your facility.   

We’ve put together a list of the essential cleaning products and supplies every business should invest in to maintain proper hygiene within the workplace.  

 

Industrial Disinfectant Spray

An essential cleaning product every business should be regularly cleaning with is disinfectant. While it’s known that germs carrying harmful bacteria and viruses such as coronavirus are easily be transmitted between the air through respiratory droplets, they can also live on hard surfaces and around high traffic touchpoints like door handles and lift buttons. This is why it’s important to use an effective disinfectant to remove bacteria, maintain high hygiene standards and stop harmful viruses from spreading within your facility.

 

Multi-Surface Cleaning Spray

Another essential cleaning product is an all-purpose cleaning spray. An effective multi-surface cleaner will help to remove dust, dirt, germs, stains and can be used on a variety of surfaces from countertops, mirrors, stainless steel and windows.

Glass & Window Cleaner

Over time, dirt and dust can easily collect on windows causing damage to the glass not to mention cause trigger allergen symptoms in people sitting close by. By investing in an effective window and glass cleaner you can ensure your windows are clean and smudge free giving off a good impression to visitors who visit your facility.

Air Freshener Spray & Odour Neutraliser

A vital cleaning product every business need is a high-quality air freshener or odour neutraliser. Air fresheners help to remove odours from large spaces or washrooms to ensure the air always smells fresh and clean.
