How Should You Store Your Business’ Cleaning Equipment?

One of the most important elements of cleaning your business is having the right cleaning equipment. From vacuums to floor machines to cleaning solutions, equipping your team with the right machines and accessories can help improve cleaning efficiency and effectiveness. But one common question that business owners might have is how to store that cleaning equipment effectively. Storage plays a few important roles in cleaning equipment. First and foremost, if you have limited storage space that will need to be considered when picking equipment, proper storage also prevents damage to your equipment, and staying organized is important for day-to-day operations. In this article, we will cover how to properly store your equipment, choose the right equipment, and ensure that your team is properly equipped to use it. If you are looking for versatile, durable, and effective vacuums, floor machines, and other cleaning equipment for your business, we highly recommend visiting our online store or contacting our team for recommendations. 

How Do You Choose The Right Cleaning Equipment For Your Business

First and foremost, if you have limited space to store cleaning equipment in your business, you will want to make sure you pick the right equipment. Be aware of the dimensions of vacuum cleaners and floor machines, but also consider the importance of versatile machines. Here at Bissell BigGreen Commercial, we provide a variety of machines that can perform multiple tasks, clean different types of surfaces, and handle different cleaning jobs. For example, our BGFW13 FloorWash is a wet and dry vacuum cleaner that cleans different types of messes. Many of our floor machines and floor scrubbing machines utilize systems of interchangeable pads and brushes so they can perform multiple functions or clean different surfaces. If your cleaning supply closet cannot accommodate multiple large machines, you should consider in investing in a small machine that can handle different types of messes. 

How Should You Store Your Vacuum Cleaner For Your Business?

One of the most important things to consider when storing cleaning equipment is the manufacturer’s recommendations. Always consult the manual for your cleaning equipment for important tips on how to store it when it is not in use. For example, it is often recommended that battery-powered machines aren’t kept charging for long periods of time as this can cause the battery to deteriorate. Machines that have tanks may need to have the tanks emptied before they are stored. And of course, it is always important to properly clean and empty vacuums before they are stored. 

How Can I Help My Team Organize Our Cleaning Supply Closet

Another important consideration is providing instructions. A great solution is to take a picture of the inside of the cleaning supply closet when everything is properly stored, make notations on the photograph, and then tape the photo to the door. Printing out instructions can also keep things organized. This helps prevent issues where members of your team cannot find a piece of cleaning equipment. If part of an employee’s job is to vacuum the floors and they cannot find the vacuum, it can cause serious delays in cleaning. Make sure your team has instructions on not just how/when to use cleaning equipment, but where/how to store it.
