Cleaning Supplies Guide
Properly planning floor cleaning in your company
Clean floors are not just a matter of aesthetics. They influence the first impression, safety, and hygiene within a company.
For floor cleaning to work effectively in daily operations, mops, buckets, floor cleaners, cleaning trolleys, and refill items should be planned according to the specific areas.

Short Answer
Floor cleaning should be organized by room type: entrance areas require robust routines, kitchens and sanitary areas need appropriate hygiene standards, and offices typically need regular maintenance cleaning. Key factors include clear responsibilities, suitable cleaning agents, and a consistent stock.
Why floor cleaning should be planned
In many companies, floor cleaning only becomes an issue when dirt is visible, an area appears unkempt, or cleaning supplies are missing. It's better to have simple standard equipment that is regularly checked and refilled.
clean entrance areas appear more professional
suitable cleaning agents prevent misapplication
fixed mop systems reduce searching time
cleaning trolleys facilitate work across multiple rooms
reordering can be bundled with hygiene and cleaning supplies

Coordinate mops, buckets, and floor cleaners
A single mop for everything is rarely sensible. Companies should determine which areas are to be cleaned separately and which products are intended for them. Especially kitchens and sanitary areas should be clearly separated from general office spaces.
Mop: choose to match the surface and area of use
Cleaning bucket: sufficiently sturdy and easily transportable
Floor cleaner: suitable for the flooring and degree of soiling
Gloves: plan directly with cleaning supplies
Cleaning cloths: keep on hand for corners, baseboards, and interim cleaning

Integrate floor cleaning into the cleaning cupboard
Mops, replacement covers, floor cleaners, and buckets should not have to be searched for separately. In the cleaning cupboard, it should be clearly visible which products are intended for floor cleaning and when they need to be reordered.

Plan together with cloths, gloves, and garbage bags
Floor cleaning rarely happens in isolation. Often, cleaning cloths, disposable gloves, and garbage bags are also needed. Planning these items together avoids individual orders and ensures clear routines.

Set minimum stock levels
For floor cleaning, not only cleaning agents but also replacement covers, cloths, and gloves should be considered. Especially for larger office spaces, multiple floors, or frequently used kitchens, a clear minimum stock level is worthwhile.
