The most common mistakes that waste opportunities in corporate cleaning budgets are: diluting concentrated products at the wrong ratio, buying small packaging without considering storage capacity, and making decisions by supplier rather than by product. Each of them alone can cause a 5-15% cost increase.
Auditing concentration ratios offers the easiest win. When products such as bleach, surface cleaner and floor care products are used without a dosing pump, employees generally use 2-3 times the recommended amount. Replacing manual dosing with an automatic dosing system (a special cap or dosing pump) almost eliminates this waste, and the payback period is usually 3-6 months.
Planning quantity breaks correctly delivers the second big saving. Buying in cases of 12 or 24 significantly reduces the unit price, but this benefit only materializes if the product will not spoil before it is used. The third factor is a single-supplier model instead of multiple suppliers: logistics costs, invoice management and stock tracking become simpler. With the subscription order feature in MTS Hijyen's B2B portal, setting up a monthly automatic order provides both time savings and price assurance.
