Janitorial Equipment

Cleanliness is essential in the foodservice industry, so you should be sure that your new business has all of the janitorial equipment and cleaning supplies it needs. Different restaurants may require various cleaning supplies depending on what appliances and flooring they have, but here's a list of essential cleaning supplies every operation will need:

• Microfiber cloths and cleaning rags: Microfiber cloths and rags have many uses in restaurants, from cleaning up spills, wiping down tables and chairs, polishing glassware, and more.
• 3 compartment sink: These products are essential for cleaning and sanitizing your products completely and following health codes. 
• Foodservice chemicals and sanitizers: Choose the right chemicals for cleaning your commercial equipment, and don't forget to also get sanitizing chemicals that keep your products safe for food contact.
• Trash cans and recycling bins: Every establishment needs a place to get rid of trash. Purchase trash cans and recycling bins and place them strategically throughout your establishment.
• Mops and mop buckets: Mopping your floors at the end of the day helps clean up any spills and messes that accumulated during service.
• Wet floor signs: In addition to mops, you'll need wet floor signs to alert customers and employees to take caution when walking on the wet floor.
• Scrubbers and sponges: Order a variety of scrubbers and sponges with different abrasiveness so you have heavy-duty options for stuck-on messes as well as soft sponges for cleaning delicate items.
• Restroom supplies: Be sure to stock your restrooms with supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, urinal cakes, and baby changing tables.
• Brooms and dustpans: Sweep up food dropped on the floor, dust, and more with these brooms. You can use them to clean up messes in the front- or back-of-house area.
• Cleaning chemical buckets: Mix cleaning chemicals safely by using these proper cleaning chemical buckets. Additionally, these buckets come in different colors, so you can color code them for easier organization.
