Chemical supply enquiries for cleaning contractors

A contractor's product list often spans several clients, surfaces and delivery points. Prepare the list around the work you control, then discuss the actual products, formats, quantities and destinations with Ottawa Chemicals.

Pricing is discussed by phone or in person after we understand your requirements. Sending a request does not place an order. Prefer a callback?

Commercial janitorial companies, residential and office cleaners, short-stay turnover teams and post-construction cleaners can enquire. Start with the surfaces and tasks; each proposed product and its supported use are confirmed before ordering.

The work and the buyer

Plan the order around each contract.

Keep different applications distinct. Start with your current products or the tasks you want reviewed, rather than assuming a replacement is interchangeable.

Client-supplied or contractor-supplied

Record who chooses and buys each product. Include any client-approved list, dispenser agreement or restriction before asking about a replacement.

Surfaces and cleaning equipment

List floor material and finish, the surfaces cleaned and the equipment used. Separate routine floor cleaning from a grease-removal task so product review addresses the actual work.

Washroom and hand-care replenishment

Note each dispenser and current product format. Separate handwashing or hand-sanitizer supplies from products intended for surfaces.

Prepare a comparable quote

Bring the details that affect the order.

A complete product code is not needed at first contact. These questions help establish what must be confirmed before purchase.

Before you enquire

Common purchasing questions.

Can a residential cleaning business enquire?

Yes. Residential cleaners and commercial janitorial businesses can ask about supplies. Describe the surfaces and quantity needed so the actual product, format and order conditions can be reviewed.

Can I combine several client sites into one enquiry?

Yes. Group the list by site and explain whether you want a central order or separate deliveries. Do not assume one product fits every site; the proposed products and fulfilment arrangements are confirmed in the quote.

Do you offer cleaning services?

This enquiry is for chemical supply. The contractor remains responsible for its cleaning work, client arrangements and product-use procedures.
