Ever thought that the industrial cleaning products a business uses have a direct effect on the state of their books? Well, that's the claim being made by some major suppliers of cleaning kit to UK businesses: and if you stop to think about it for a second, you start to realise how true it is.
Think about this: a restaurant with dirty loos or a bar with a grotty floor. Maybe there's one paltry bottle of some kind of domestic cleaning stuff on hand in the ladies which somehow serves only to make the lack of obvious cleanliness more apparent. Ever going back there again? Of course not.
Industrial cleaning products, by their very name, are designed to withstand (and destroy) quantities of dirt and nastiness simply not found in the home. A public premise receives foot traffic daily that makes a month's worth of use in a normal house and that means the dirt involved requires dedicated preparations in order that the premises be kept properly clean.
Let's start with the real cleaning power of all these products. An industrial strength floor wash is designed to take up heavy soiling; to degrease; and to polish. There's no house in the world that needs that kind of cleaning: but if a person tried to clean a pub loo with domestic cleaner, all they'd achieve would be to rub the dirt into the floor. Industrial cleaning products, conversely, would practically burn house tiles into dust: they're too strong to be used on mild soiling, such as a person might find in a home situation.
What we're talking about here is the right product for the right place. That's a choice every business needs to make. It's also a choice that has a direct impact on the state of a company's profits, for the reasons mentioned above. No-one is going to patronise a place more than once, if that place doesn't look clean.
"Look" is an important word here. What people want is to be reassured that a premise is free of dirt, and therefore also free from germs. From the customer's point of view, it almost doesn't really matter whether one's industrial cleaning products have actually cleaned thoroughly, or no all that matters is that the place looks clean; that it feels clean. This means the right cleaning products for business premises need to smell clean.
Put any industrial cleaning product in a home environment and it smells awful. Why? Because it's been designed to permeate an area far larger than even the biggest room in an average house. Dissipated through the acreage of an industrial or business premise, the eye-watering smells that industrial cleaning products give off are reduced to normal levels. Put another way: it wouldn't be possible to clean a pub loo with home cleaning products and have it smell good. The domestic stuff simply doesn't have a strong enough odour to work through the whole room. Industrial kit, on the other hand, is designed to fill pub toilets with its cleansing smell which means pub toilets cleaned with it will appear clean even when they aren't.
It's all about keeping one's customers. Customers, after all, are the people who keep the balance sheets looking good. People often underestimate the importance of good cleaning until the day they replace their industrial cleaning products with something else. Don't fall into that trap: it costs a lot more than one might imagine.
