This guide covers the essential janitorial supplies every facility should keep on hand. It highlights reliable Alondra products your team can use daily, with links to order in bulk through our online store.
Why a Proper Janitorial Supply Plan Matters
Facilities that keep the right cleaning chemicals and supplies in stock see fewer disruptions. When staff always have what they need, they spend less time searching for substitutes or placing emergency orders. It also helps maintain consistent cleaning standards throughout the building.
A clear janitorial supply plan also supports:
Health and sanitation
Safer work environments
Longer lasting floors and surfaces
Cleaner restrooms and break rooms
Better overall facility appearance
Many facilities use different products for laundry, floors, restrooms, kitchens, and surfaces. The goal is to stock items that handle everyday tasks along with heavy duty cleaning when needed.
Daily Cleaning Essentials
These are the core products a janitorial team will reach for every day, no matter the size of the facility.
All Purpose Cleaner
A dependable cleaner like the Alondra All Purpose Cleaner is essential. It works on desks, walls, countertops, appliances, and most washable surfaces. It cuts through soil and residue without leaving streaks and is ideal for offices, schools, and commercial spaces.
Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner
For windows, glass doors, mirrors, and display panels, a streak free cleaner is a must. The Alondra Glass and Hard Surface Cleaner keeps surfaces clear and polished and is safe for daily use.
Degreaser Concentrated
Every facility has high traffic zones that collect grime, especially kitchens, maintenance rooms, and industrial workspaces. The Alondra Degreaser Concentrated handles tough grease, oils, and buildup where regular cleaners fall short.
Restroom Cleaning Basics
Restrooms require dedicated products that disinfect and manage odor. While you can choose your preferred disinfectant, the following Alondra items help keep restrooms clean on a daily basis.
Hand Soap
Facilities should always keep extra cases of hand soap in stock. The Alondra Hand Soap works well for high use dispensers and keeps hands clean without irritation.
Deodorizer and Air Freshener
Restrooms, locker rooms, and shared spaces benefit from a reliable deodorizer. The Alondra Deodorizer and Air Freshener helps manage odor and keeps facilities smelling clean throughout the day.
Bleach
The Alondra Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite 10%) is useful for sanitizing floors, walls, and restroom surfaces. It fights heavy stains and supports a high standard of cleanliness for commercial restrooms.
Floor Care Essentials
Floors take the most abuse in any facility. A consistent floor care routine helps protect the surface and improves appearance.
Floor Finish (Medium Solids)
Facilities with tile or finished floors should maintain a durable finish that resists scuffs and traffic marks. The Alondra Floor Finish line provides high gloss protection and helps floors hold up to daily cleaning.
Wax Stripper
When floors need a deep reset, the Alondra Wax Stripper removes built up finish and prepares the surface for a new coat. This should always be stocked for scheduled floor maintenance.
Carpet Shampoo Concentrated
Carpeted facilities rely on a product that removes soil without leaving residue. The Alondra Carpet Shampoo works in extraction machines and offers reliable results for hallways, waiting areas, and office spaces.
Laundry Supplies for Facilities
Many buildings handle towels, mop heads, cleaning cloths, uniforms, and washable textiles. A strong commercial laundry detergent is essential to keep these items clean and odor free.
Liquid Laundry Detergent
Alondra laundry detergents are available in several scents. All formulas provide the same performance, so it simply comes down to preference.
Alondra Free and Gentle Detergent for scent free and dye free needs
These detergents support up to 640 loads per 5 gallon pail or up to 280 loads per 2.2 gallon bottle, depending on load size.
OxyHelp Powdered Stain Remover
OxyHelp boosts cleaning power and helps facilities remove stains from linens, mats, and cloths. It is also helpful for carpets and tile surfaces that need brightening.
Kitchen and Break Room Cleaning
Kitchens and break rooms see daily spills, food residue, and dishes that pile up throughout the day. Reliable cleaning chemicals keep these areas safe and pleasant for staff.
Hand Dishwashing Detergent
The Alondra Hand Dish Detergent is useful for shared kitchens and small break rooms that wash cookware, utensils, or coffee equipment by hand.
Dish Rinse Aid
Facilities with a small commercial dishwasher benefit from Alondra Dish Rinse Aid for spot free drying.
Pot and Pan Detergent
This heavy duty product helps with baked on food and is ideal for cafeterias or kitchens with cookware that needs extra cleaning strength.
Specialty Cleaning Products Facilities Should Consider
Some facilities need more than basic cleaning products. These specialty chemicals help with automotive areas, shop environments, or machinery.
AlumBrite Aluminum Cleaner for equipment, trailers, and metal surfaces
Foaming Car Wash for facilities that maintain fleet vehicles
Defoamer 7DF403 for carpet machines and industrial applications
TireShine for auto detailing areas or maintenance departments
Not every facility needs these products, but they are useful for buildings with automotive operations or industrial components.
Stocking Your Janitorial Closet the Right Way
Every facility is different, but the goal is always the same. Keep a strong lineup of reliable cleaning products, make sure staff know how to use them, and replenish inventory before it runs low.
