A strong sales organization starts with a strong team.

Our team is together in Erie this week for our quarterly sales meeting — focused on training, collaboration, sharing ideas, and continuing to strengthen how we serve our customers across the region.

After a full day of meetings and training, we stepped away from the conference room and spent the evening together at Five Iron Golf. We were also glad to have a few of our vendor partners join us — Dan from Tennant, Chris from Pro-Link, and Nate from Facility Armor.

At Janitors Supply, the strength of what we bring to our customers comes from more than any one person. It comes from our sales team, the people supporting them every day, and strong partnerships with the manufacturers and organizations we represent.

These quarterly meetings give us an opportunity to sharpen how we work, learn from one another, strengthen those relationships, and make sure we’re continuing to move forward together.

A great evening with a great group — and plenty more work ahead.

Odor control in hospitality goes beyond making a space smell better.

When odors keep returning, the first question shouldn’t be “What fragrance should we add?” It should be:

Where is the odor coming from?

A stronger odor-control program focuses on four steps:

SOURCE. CLEAN. PREVENT. MAINTAIN.

That can mean addressing organic soils in restrooms, buildup in floor drains, odors in trash and back-of-house areas, or using metered air care only after the source has been brought under control.

Janitors Supply can help hospitality facilities build a more complete program with solutions like Spartan Consume Eco-Lyzer, Spartan Consume Nature’s Way and AirWorks Metered Air Fresheners—paired with the right cleaning procedures and air care systems.

The goal isn’t more fragrance.

The goal is a clean, fresh and consistent guest experience.

Talk with Janitors Supply about reviewing the odor-control program throughout your property.

Hard water could be working against your cleaning program without you realizing it.

When concentrated cleaning chemicals are diluted, water becomes part of the formula. If that water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, it can contribute to spotting, film, mineral buildup, scale, inconsistent results, and even increased chemical usage.

Before assuming the product is the problem—or simply adding more chemical—it may be worth looking at the bigger picture.

Water quality can affect:

💧 Warewashing — spotting, mineral deposits and scale
💧 Laundry — detergent performance and soil removal
💧 Restrooms — buildup around faucets, sinks and fixtures
💧 Equipment — scale inside dish machines and other water-using systems
💧 General Cleaning — residue and inconsistent results on floors, glass and other surfaces

That’s why the right cleaning program considers more than chemistry alone. Water hardness, product selection, dilution, equipment maintenance and employee training all work together.

Janitors Supply can help evaluate your facility’s water conditions and recommend Spartan Chemical products, warewash programs, laundry solutions and dilution systems that fit your operation.

The chemical matters. The dilution matters. The water matters too.

A facility can look clean and still have gaps in the way it is being cleaned.

That is the difference between cleaning for appearance and cleaning for health.

Shiny floors, empty trash cans, clean glass, and fresh-smelling restrooms all matter. But a stronger cleaning program also considers the things people may not see:

High-touch surfaces. Proper soil removal. Correct dilution. Disinfectant contact time. Cross-contamination. Hand hygiene. Consistent procedures.

That is where the right products and systems can help.

For example, Janitors Supply can support facilities with:
Spartan Chemical Company Clean by Peroxy for versatile daily cleaning and soil removal
Spartan DMQ, Profect HP Concentrate, and X-EFFECT for appropriate disinfection applications
Color-coded microfiber systems to help create clearer cleaning procedures and reduce cross-contamination
Spartan foamyiQ to support convenient, consistent hand hygiene
Tennant floor equipment to help improve cleaning efficiency across larger areas

The goal is not to add unnecessary complexity.

It is to make sure the products, tools, procedures, and training already in place are working together as one complete program.

Clean for the people using the building—not just the people looking at it.

Janitors Supply can help evaluate your current cleaning program and identify practical opportunities for improvement.

🏫 WHY DO SCHOOLS CONTINUE TO CHOOSE foamyiQ?

For busy school custodial teams, a hand hygiene system needs to be simple, reliable, and easy to maintain. That’s exactly what Spartan Chemical Company designed foamyiQ to deliver.

Unlike traditional systems, foamyiQ is a hand-hygiene dispensing cartridge—there’s no costly dispenser to maintain or repair. When the cartridge is empty, staff simply remove it from the bracket and snap a fresh one into place. Spartan also offers multiple foamyiQ hand hygiene formulas to fit different facility needs.

That simplicity can make a big difference in schools:

✅ Less dispenser maintenance

✅ No dispenser parts to repair or replace

✅ Quick, simple cartridge changes

✅ A clean, streamlined appearance

✅ Multiple hand hygiene options for different areas of the facility

And when your school chooses foamyiQ, Janitors Supply helps make the transition easy.

Our team doesn’t just deliver the product—we install the mounting brackets and cartridges for you, helping get your new hand hygiene program up and running throughout the facility.

Spartan emphasizes that proper hand hygiene, along with routine cleaning and disinfection, can help decrease the spread of infections. For K-12 facilities, maintaining a clean, healthy environment is an important part of creating a safe place for students to learn.

We recently completed a dispenser installation at a local school district, helping them start the new school year with a cleaner, more efficient hand hygiene and restroom program.

The installation included Spartan Chemical Company foamyiQ hand hygiene dispensers and GP PRO Compact tissue dispensers—two systems designed to help facilities simplify maintenance, reduce unnecessary product handling, and keep high-traffic areas stocked and ready for daily use.

For schools, efficiency matters. The right dispensing systems can help custodial teams spend less time checking and replacing supplies and more time focusing on the rest of the facility.

At Janitors Supply, we don’t just supply the products—we help facilities select, install, and support systems that make sense for their operation.

Here’s to a fresh start and a more efficient school year.

Cleaning removes dirt, soil, and many germs from a surface. Disinfecting uses an EPA-registered product to target specific microorganisms—and the right product can depend on the surface, environment, and cleaning program.

That’s why we’re highlighting three Spartan Chemical disinfectants:
✅ Spartan Chemical Company Profect HP Concentrate
A hydrogen-peroxide-based cleaner and disinfectant for hard, nonporous surfaces. A strong option for high-touch areas, schools, offices, restrooms, common areas, and general facility disinfection.
✅ Spartan X-EFFECT
A non-alkaline disinfectant cleaner concentrate designed for restrooms, hard floors, high-gloss finished floors, and other nonporous surfaces.
✅ Spartan DMQ
A neutral disinfectant cleaner designed with finished floors in mind, helping clean and disinfect while maintaining floor appearance. It can also be used on applications such as stainless steel and chrome fixtures.
Choosing the right disinfectant is only part of the process. Proper dilution, contact time, surface compatibility, procedures, and staff training all matter too.

Janitors Supply can help you match the right Spartan products and procedures to the different areas of your facility.

Training is about more than learning which product goes where—it’s about understanding why the process works.

Our Sales Manager, Nick, recently spent time with the custodial team at Riverside Area School District for a chemical training focused on the science of cleaning.

The session covered how cleaning chemistry works, where each product fits within their facility, and how using the right product, process, dilution, and procedure can help custodial teams achieve more consistent results.

But the bigger message was simple: Janitors Supply is invested in the facilities we serve.

We don’t want to simply provide products and walk away. We want to help our customers understand their cleaning programs, support their staff, answer questions, and make sure the solutions they are using are working for their specific needs.

Thank you to the Riverside Area School District custodial team for the opportunity to spend time together and continue building a stronger cleaning program.

Products are only part of the solution. Training, knowledge, and partnership make the difference.
