Running an efficient facility means balancing two key goals: maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and managing expenses carefully. It’s a common myth that reducing costs requires compromising quality. At MRO Direct Solutions Inc., we know it’s possible to do both—and we help clients achieve it every day.

Here’s how you can cut cleaning supply costs without sacrificing quality:

1. Buy in Bulk and Standardize Products

Benefit: Lower unit costs and simpler inventory management.

How:

• Consolidate purchases into fewer, larger orders.
• Standardize brands and products across your facility.
• Choose multi-purpose cleaners to minimize SKUs.

MRO Tip: Ask us about volume discounts and bundled supply options for even bigger savings.

2. Use High-Efficiency Cleaning Tools

Benefit: Reduce product waste and labor costs.

How:

• Invest in microfiber cloths and mop systems.
• Upgrade to dispensing systems that control chemical usage precisely.
• Choose durable equipment that lasts longer and requires fewer replacements.

MRO Tip: Microfiber tools can reduce chemical and water use by up to 90% compared to traditional cotton mops.

3. Implement Inventory Controls

Benefit: Prevent over-ordering and under-utilization.

How:

• Track usage patterns monthly.
• Designate a staff member to monitor inventory levels.
• Set minimum/maximum stock levels for key items.

MRO Tip: Regular inventory reviews help identify redundant products you can eliminate.

4. Train Your Cleaning Staff

Benefit: Maximize product effectiveness and minimize waste.

How:

• Provide training on correct product usage and dilution rates.
• Educate on proper equipment maintenance.
• Emphasize “use what you need” protocols.

MRO Tip: Proper chemical dilution alone can reduce cleaning costs by 20%-40%.

5. Choose Quality Over Quantity

Benefit: Fewer replacements, better performance, lower long-term costs.

How:

• Select proven brands known for durability and performance.
• Focus on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), not just sticker price.
• Replace low-quality supplies that lead to higher labor costs.

MRO Tip: Sometimes “paying a little more” up front can save thousands over time.

6. Partner with a Trusted Supplier

Benefit: Customized solutions, expert advice, and better deals.

How:

• Work with suppliers who understand your industry.
• Negotiate pricing based on projected annual purchases.
• Explore new product innovations that could improve efficiency.
