Cleaning chemicals and soap cover the everyday cleaning tasks in plants, shops, restrooms and break rooms. This subcategory includes degreasers, general purpose cleaners, disinfectants and sanitizers, glass cleaners, floor cleaners, restroom cleaners, hand soap and heavy duty hand cleaners for grease and grime. Products come as ready-to-use sprays, concentrates for dilution, wipes and refills for dispensers.

What to check before you order

Match the cleaner to the soil. Degreasers cut oil and grease. General purpose cleaners handle everyday dirt. Disinfectants are for killing germs on surfaces when used as the label directs.
Concentrate or ready to use. Concentrates take less storage space and are diluted at the ratio on the label. Ready-to-use products avoid mixing errors.
Surface compatibility. Some cleaners can damage aluminum, painted surfaces, rubber or certain floor finishes. Check the label for surfaces to avoid.
Hand cleaner type. Shop hand cleaners with pumice or scrubbers remove grease. Gentler soaps suit restrooms and frequent washing. Make sure refills fit your dispensers.
Safety data sheet. Read the SDS for PPE, storage and first aid. Never mix chemicals unless the label says it is safe to do so.

For spills, see absorbents and spill control. Shop degreasing solvents in penetrants, cleaners and solvents, or browse Janitorial & Facility.

Common questions

What is the difference between cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting?

Cleaning removes dirt and grime from a surface. Sanitizing reduces germs to a lower level, and disinfecting kills the germs listed on the product label. Sanitizers and disinfectants only work as claimed when used exactly as the label directs.

What is dwell time on a disinfectant?

Dwell time, also called contact time, is how long a surface must stay wet with the disinfectant for it to work. It is printed on the label. Wiping the surface dry too soon can leave germs behind.
