Commercial laundry direct-to-customer cleaning products boost sales and create one-stop shops for their customers.

Increasing Route Profitability

When working with commercial laundries, my customer’s first question is always, “How can our company be more valuable to our customer?” My answer is often to add direct sales of additional commercial cleaning products.

Today more than ever, commercial laundries offer catalogs both online and on their route trucks to current customers. Route trucks carrying valuable add-on cleaning, foodservice, and office supplies to be delivered weekly, alongside their regular professionally laundered items, stand to increase sales week over week.

A Common Problem

Many distributors service restaurant chains that have freshly laundered mats delivered each week but use an old mop and bucket system that they store in the closet next to the kitchen. Appearance matters to patrons. They notice unsanitary conditions and make mental notes, and the floor is one of the first things customers will see upon entering your business. Are they pristine and shiny, or are they dull and streaky? Dirty floors are immediately apparent and give customers a negative first impression.

A Profit-Driven Solution

An experienced route driver may suggest a simple on-hand solution that can be implemented quickly. The Easy-Flo Bucketless Mop System solves a few noticeable commercial cleaning problems — eliminating the reuse of contaminated bucket water for mopping and eliminating the need for storage space by replacing the large bucket and mop with a streamlined mopping system. Drivers who make this suggestion during daily deliveries benefit from a nice boost in add-on sales with an opportunity for repeat mop pad sales.
