Great value! Thanks for doing the works. Just want to add something that is also something you need when starting a commercial cleaning business. More often than not, you will form a team to clean establishments. So you should also add background checking applicants in your checklist. It takes a lot of effort, trust, and work before you can convince someone to let you walk into their office or home unsupervised, so make sure to be a trustworthy business to keep long lasting relationships with your clients.
Thanks for sharing Scott. A best practice is to start with a lower percent acid to remove deposits and move up from there. 23-26% acid is a strong acid and needs to be used with caution. In some cases you need that strong of acid to remove the deposits but make sure it does not come in contact with any surfaces because it will damage them.
@@thejanitorialstore You're right. Any strong acid or alkali needs to be treated with great respect. They can cause a lot of damage to surfaces that they are not intended for. Of course, they can also burn your skin or blind you if you get splashed and you're not wearing PPE, as you should do.
Great Info! I use microfiber rags for polishes furniture or stainless steel, blue surgical rags for break room or glass doors and a terry cloth for restrooms.
I SUX cleaning because I'm a perfectionist !!! ALWAYS know "their" expectations!!! Some People just want a "wipe out, as in SHITE, company is coming"... Others require detailed cleaning !!!
Wow! I recently graduated from your Hard Floor Care course!! And I just realize that you are the Director of "the janitorial Store".. lol It was an excellent course and I super appreciate your trainings. :)
There are several factors in running a cleaning business. One place I found that succeeds in merging these is the Ayalisse clean biz (google it if you're interested) definately the best blueprint that I have ever heard of. Check out the extraordinary information.
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to start up a cleaning business try Pycanta Office Cleaning Protocol ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbor got cool success with it.
Okay all paperwork filed, insurance and equipment acquired, staff hired. Now, how does one go from having no business clients to getting the first one? How do you make the business trust you enough to hire you even though you have never had a client before?
Tell everyone you know about your cleaning business, ask if they know anyone who could use your services. Join a networking group to build relationships with other business owners. Create a flyer and a business card to give to prospects. You might do some free cleaning for a nonprofit and use them as a reference.
Sure, Thanks for the suggestion. You have hundreds of videos to select from and we might have done this subject in the past but I put it on the schedule to be done.
Thanks for sharing. I started my first cleaning company in the mid 80's. I still have equipment I used in that first cleaning company.. It goes to show that if you take care of your equipment they will make you a lot of money!
@@kyngpapi You could have some clients that will have equipment and supplies. They are only looking for labor. But that is not the norm. The issue with using clients equipment and supplies is who will maintain it? With supplies you will have different chemicals you will need to train your employees on. Try to keep things standardized at all accounts. With equipment when something breaks down who will repair it? When you don't have control of the equipment you could be sitting without what you need because they don't put high priority on the repair leaving you to figure out how to get the job done without it.

From experience I know water based stainless steel cleaners take more work to get the great results we want. Petroleum based stainless cleaners apply much easier and faster. When deciding on a product we should review the SDS sheet for required PPE, etc.
I don't know of one. Check your local area for a suppliers that would have the type of cleaning products in stock and build a relationship with them. No matter where you go your prices will depend on the volume you purchase. Look for Ready-To-Use (RTU) cost

Use the bowl cleaners that contain 23-26 percent hydrochloric acid when you need to remove mineral deposits or urine stains from a urinal.

I laughed when you said the Dust pans lasted you over 20 years lol that’s my age 😂 those really last long
Thanks for sharing.

@@thejanitorialstore so do we have to supply everything?

You are a lifesaver
Would i definitly need an autoscrubber and burnishers/buffers waxers
thanks for the video I am thinking about getting into the business
You are welcome. Hope it helped.
Thanks so much for the tips. I truly appreciate it!!
You're welcome!
Thanks 😊
Your welcome Gaby
Ok, I was looking at your Janitorial Bidding Calculator and I like it however how exactly does one know the "Cleanable square footage?
You measure it. I use a wheel measure to measure the floor space. I also label the type of floor it is so I can give pricing on floor care services.
Anyone who tell me how to price a big commercial building? Is all about offices 🏢
Do sites usually pay for/provide paper products/handsoap/etc.?
If you are a full service BSC you should always ask about it.
Awesome! Thanks
You are welcome Ali

Hi, can you recommend vacuum cleaners?
Backpacks are the most productive. Match the equipment to the user.
I have owned the hoover c2401 and the proteam super quarter vac. I love the proteam
Is there a all in one website you can order all the dilutsble cleaners from by the gallon?
I don't know of one.

The Janitorial Store ok thank you and thanks for the video.
Hi Steve,
Any machine for high dusting?
No machine I know of. You still need a human to identify the dust and cob webs before it can be removed.
Super helpful
Is this for cleaning a house
Many of those items listed can be used to clean a home or office.
Get used stuff
Yes, check with your local janitorial supply store for used equipment. Some will give you full warranty.
