I am sorry but winter is coming, get ready
Here are three key things commercial businesses need from the cleaning industry as winter approaches:
1. Entryway & Floor Care Solutions
With snow, salt, and moisture being tracked indoors, businesses need heavy-duty floor mats, wet/dry vacuums, and salt-resistant floor cleaners.
Specialty ice-melt neutralizers help prevent white salt stains and protect flooring finishes.
2. Disinfectants & Sanitizers
Winter means flu and cold season, so demand increases for EPA-registered disinfectants, hand sanitizers, and touchpoint cleaning supplies.
Facilities often boost cleaning frequencies to reduce employee absenteeism.
3. Restroom & Odor Control Products
Higher occupancy indoors during colder months means more restroom usage.
Stocking up on restroom cleaners, odor control systems, and high-capacity paper/towel dispensers reduces complaints and keeps facilities fresh.
Have you prepared your fall marketing so your customers know you can supply these products and have the proper processes in place?

3. How to Disinfect Properly
Clean first: Remove dirt, dust, and organic material
Apply disinfectant liberally to surfaces
Follow dwell time: Let the product sit wet on the surface for the amount of time listed on the label (usually 1–10 minutes)
Air out rooms: Measles can linger in the air for hours, so proper ventilation is key
Focus on high-touch surfaces: doorknobs, light switches, chairs, handrails, remote controls, and countertops
