There are many places where you can buy supplies for cleaning companies. You can buy them in-store, from your local brick-and-mortar stores, wholesale stores, or online. Buying cleaning supplies from each of these places has its own pros and cons.

Here’s a video of our founder and CEO, Michael Brown, chatting with Dan Dillon, owner of [Clean It Supply](https://www.cleanitsupply.com/)about some of the most cost-effective ways to buy cleaning supplies for your cleaning company without burning a hole in your pocket.

 

Cost\_Effective Supplies for Your Cleaning Business

# There are Several Ways to Buy Supplies for Cleaning Companies, Including:

 

1. Buy from wholesalers: Wholesalers offer cleaning supplies in bulk at a discounted price, which can help you save money. You can find wholesalers online or in person and purchase everything you need in one go.
2. Purchase from retail stores: Retail stores like Walmart, Target, or Home Depot offer cleaning supplies at competitive prices, and you can buy smaller quantities as per your requirements.
3. Order online: You can also order cleaning supplies online from various retailers, such as Amazon or specialized cleaning company supply websites. You can compare prices and get better deals online.
4. Subscribe to cleaning supply services: Some companies offer cleaning supply subscriptions, where you can set up a recurring delivery of supplies so you never run out of them.
5. Buy directly from manufacturers: If you have specific cleaning products you prefer to use, consider buying directly from the manufacturer, as they may offer bulk discounts.

When buying cleaning company or janitorial supplies, keep in mind to check the quality and safety of the products to ensure they are effective and safe for use. Also, consider purchasing eco-friendly products to reduce your environmental impact.

Did you know [Swept has a feature](https://sweptworks.com/compare-plans) that lets you track supplies? Your cleaners can use the Swept app to let your managers and supervisors know when something is running low and for which location without duplicating requests.

Managers at your cleaning company can use the web app or mobile app to get a real-time update on what is required and where and generate a shopping list to make ordering clear and easy.

If you are an existing Swept customer and want to learn more about this feature, call your Customer Success Manager today.
