Janitorial and facility supplies keep plants, shops, offices and job trailers clean, stocked and safe. This category covers cleaning chemicals and soap, trash bags and receptacles, paper towels and tissue, mops, brooms and brushes and absorbents and spill control. Facility managers, building service contractors and maintenance teams buy these items on a regular schedule.

How to choose janitorial supplies

  • Match the trash liner to the can and the waste. Measure the can's capacity and dimensions, then pick high density liners for paper and office waste or low density liners for heavier, sharper debris. See trash bags and receptacles.
  • Fit paper products to your dispensers. Roll towels, folded towels and tissue come in sizes and core styles made for specific dispensers. Check the dispenser before switching products.
  • Use the right cleaner for the surface and the soil. Degreasers, general purpose cleaners and disinfectants do different jobs. Follow the label for dilution and contact time, and keep the safety data sheet (SDS) on file.
  • Pick mops and brooms by floor and task. Cotton and blended wet mops suit general mopping, microfiber holds fine dust and works with less water, and push brooms cover large shop floors.
  • Plan for spills before they happen. Universal, oil-only and chemical absorbents handle different liquids. Keep spill kits near where fluids are stored and used, and see UltraTech for spill kits, containment berms and spill pallets.

Since janitorial items are used up every week, many customers set up vendor managed inventory with relabeled bins and QR code reordering so the supply closet gets restocked on a routine. You can also order online with a business account on terms.

Common questions

What size trash bag fits a 44 gallon can?

Most 44 gallon cans take a liner around 37 x 50 inches, but can shapes vary. Measure the can's circumference and height, or check the can maker's liner recommendation, before ordering a case.

What is the difference between a cleaner and a disinfectant?

A cleaner removes dirt and grease from a surface. A disinfectant is registered to kill specific germs when used as the label directs, including the required wet contact time. Many tasks call for cleaning first and disinfecting second.

What absorbent should I use for an oil spill?

Oil-only absorbents pick up oil and petroleum fluids while repelling water, which makes them useful outdoors or on wet floors. Universal absorbents take up oil, water and many coolants. For chemical spills, use absorbents made for that chemical and follow its SDS.
