Industrial Cleaning Product

Choosing the right industrial cleaning product depends, of course, on the nature of one’s business.  There are some processes and applications where the choice of industrial cleaning product is led by the properties of the application – so for example, choosing an industrial cleaning product for use in a kitchen environment will be affected by the non-harmful and sanitising properties of the preparation in question.  Other processes and locations offer a kind of wider choice, in that they don’t necessarily require that the industrial cleaning product chosen be non-harmful (toilet blocks, for instance, don’t have to be non-harmful because you’re not supposed to touch or eat them):  though in these cases other factors come into play that are equally likely to dictate one’s final decision.

The right industrial cleaning product for a public washroom needs to smell nice but have industrial-strength cleaning properties.  No-one likes using a bathroom that stinks of bleach, but public washroom facilities have to be cleaned with a product that can cope with the constant traffic of lavatory users.  So one’s choice of industrial cleaning product for public washroom areas has to be dictated by considerations of safety and atmosphere.  After all, you can have the safest (i.e. the one that kills the most germs) bathroom-oriented industrial cleaning product in the world:  but if it smells bad no-one is going to want to use the bathroom.  And if no-one wants to use the bathroom, pretty soon they aren’t going to want to use the premises either.

Smell is an important factor with every industrial cleaning product choice.  Think about a restaurant.  If you use high-grade industrial cleaning product to clean the kitchen area, but that product smells very strong, the smell will get into the food – and the air of the public part of the restaurant.  Taste and smell are linked, which means strong-smelling industrial cleaning product will taint the flavour of every dish served.  Within two weeks, that industrial cleaning product choice could shut the business down for good. 

The other thing about a strong smell of industrial cleaning product:  although really that aroma should indicate that a place is clean, what it suggests is that the place is dirty.  People associate bleach smells and disinfectant smells with nasty cleaning jobs (jobs where bodily effluvia or rotten matter of some sort has had to be dealt with):  and they associate nasty cleaning jobs with illness, infection, ill health.  When a premises uses an industrial cleaning product that leaves heavy bleach smells in the air, people using that premises tend to assume that it has some kind of terrible hygiene problem – and they never come back. 

A general rule:  the cheaper the industrial cleaning product, the stronger the smell.  Go for a sensible midrange price and your industrial cleaning product choices won’t drive your customers away.
