The Janitorial Supply Checklist Every Restaurant Should Run Monthly

Cleaning supplies are the category operators are most likely to buy at retail, because they're the category nobody plans for. A five-minute monthly count fixes it.

Chemicals

  • Degreaser for the line and hood area.
  • Sanitizer with test strips that match your concentration.
  • Floor cleaner appropriate to your surface — not one generic bottle for everything.
  • Glass and stainless cleaner for front of house.

Consumables

  • Can liners in the exact sizes your bins take.
  • Gloves in the sizes your team actually wears, not just large.
  • Roll towels, folded towels and bath tissue for restrooms.
  • Microfiber cloths and mop heads — replaced, not stretched.

Buy the case, not the bottle

Retail bottles can cost multiples of the per-unit case price. If you don't have room for a full case of everything, prioritize the items you use weekly and let us keep the rest in our warehouse — that's what free next-day delivery is for.
