Planning Cleaning Supplies and Waste Solutions in the Office

In a Nutshell

Cleaning supplies are often only reordered when they are already missing. However, consumption can be planned by area, just like office supplies. Kitchenettes, sanitary areas, and reception have different requirements and should be considered separately.

Cleaning supplies and waste solutions are often underestimated in daily office life. Yet, bin bags, waste containers, cleaning cloths, and surface cleaners are important consumables.

Typical Items

  • Bin bags and refuse sacks
  • Waste containers and waste paper bins
  • Kitchen rolls and wipes
  • Surface cleaners
  • Sanitary cleaners and all-purpose cleaners
  • Gloves and cleaning accessories

Planning by Area

Kitchenettes, sanitary areas, reception, workshops, and office spaces have different requirements. Therefore, cleaning supplies should be planned by area.

Suitable Product

In the Wiepa Shop, you can find, for example, Hailo waste bins and other items via the search.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should cleaning supplies be stored centrally or by area?

How high should the stock of bin bags be?

Based on actual consumption over the last few weeks, plus a small safety buffer.

Who should be responsible for cleaning supplies?

Preferably a dedicated person or the facility management service, so that reorders are not forgotten.
