Chemical supply enquiries for hotels and accommodation
Organize the chemical order by the people and areas it serves: housekeeping, public areas, maintenance and food service. Ottawa Chemicals welcomes enquiries from hotels, motels, resorts and other accommodation operators.
Pricing is discussed by phone or in person after we understand your requirements. Sending a request does not place an order. Prefer a callback?
Prepare a departmental supply list with current products, intended uses and quantities where known. General cleaning, hand-care and kitchen requests can be discussed together while the exact products and supported uses are reviewed separately.

The work and the buyer
One enquiry, clear departmental needs.
Keep different applications distinct. Start with your current products or the tasks you want reviewed, rather than assuming a replacement is interchangeable.
Handwashing and dispensers
List washroom and staff-area dispensers, current refill formats and who replenishes them. Keep hand soap and hand sanitizer distinct from surface products.
Breakfast, restaurant and dishroom
Where the property operates food service, list manual washing, food-contact surfaces and dishmachine products separately. New commercial dishwasher leasing is a distinct equipment conversation.
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.
| Department or issue | What the buyer should clarify |
|---|---|
| Housekeeping | Surface/finish requirements, current products, equipment and any property-approved specifications. |
| Food service | Whether the hotel or a contracted operator buys; dishwasher/dispenser details and kitchen tasks. |
| Maintenance | The specific equipment, material and cleaning job; flag specialized processes for separate review. |
| Purchasing | Who approves the proposed products and whether departments share or separate their orders. |
| Receiving and seasonality | Expected use, available storage, receiving access and occupancy-related changes you want considered. |

Common purchasing questions.
Can accommodation without a restaurant enquire?
Yes. Describe the general cleaning and hand-care requirements you have. A commercial kitchen or dishwasher is not required to make a chemical supply enquiry.
Can housekeeping and kitchen requests be combined?
Yes. Keep the departmental lists and purchasing responsibilities separate within the enquiry so product use, equipment, quantities and proposed terms can be reviewed clearly.
Can I ask about a new commercial dishwasher?
Yes. The confirmed equipment offer is brand-new commercial dishwasher leasing with maintenance and repairs covered. Model, installation, charges, term and location-specific arrangements are confirmed in the proposal.
