Reducing cleaning supply costs does not necessarily mean buying the cheapest chemical or using less product than recommended.
A better approach is to look at the total cost of purchasing, storing and using cleaning supplies. Product concentration, correct dilution, wastage, duplicated products, stock levels, freight and staff processes can all affect how much a business spends.
The objective should be to remove unnecessary cost while still using products correctly and maintaining the required cleaning and hygiene standard.
Two cleaning products with similar pack prices can have very different costs in use.
For concentrated products, check:
Where the information is reliable, this allows you to estimate cost per usable litre or cost per task.
Do not increase dilution beyond the manufacturer's instructions simply to reduce cost.
Concentrated chemicals can reduce the amount of packaged product required to produce a larger volume of ready-to-use cleaning solution.
They can be useful where:
They are not automatically the right choice for every low-volume or specialist task.
Using more chemical than required can increase product cost and may create other cleaning or safety problems.
Controlled dosing can help where manual dilution is inconsistent.
Jasco's current chemical dosing range includes systems such as Kemsol Ultra Concentrate, Divermite, J-Fill Quattro and SmartDose. These systems are designed to provide more accurate dosing and reduce unnecessary chemical wastage.
The Divermite system, for example, combines concentrated formulations with controlled dosing and is designed for food-service sites and other commercial environments.

Businesses sometimes accumulate multiple products that perform similar tasks.
Review the cleaning cupboard and identify:
Standardising suitable products can simplify ordering, training and stock management.
Do not consolidate products where different surfaces, contamination risks or industry requirements genuinely require different chemistry.
A larger container is only economical when the product will be used correctly within an appropriate period and can be stored safely.
Consider:
For some applications, concentrated smaller packs can be more efficient than larger volumes of ready-to-use product.
Cleaning chemicals are not the only area where wastage occurs.
Washroom consumables such as soap, hand towels and toilet tissue can also be affected by dispenser choice and usage.
A cost review should compare the complete system — consumable, dispenser, refill method and actual usage — rather than the refill price alone.
Frequent small orders can increase freight and administration.
Where product consumption is predictable, consider:
Jasco's delivery policy uses different delivery charges and conditions according to destination and order value, making freight part of the overall purchasing calculation.

Running out of critical cleaning and hygiene products can disrupt operations, while carrying excessive stock ties up space and money.
For recurring products, record:
Higher-use consumables often benefit from more structured reorder levels than occasional specialist products.
Savings from concentrated products or dosing systems can disappear if products are used incorrectly.
Staff should understand:
Training should follow current manufacturer instructions, workplace procedures and safety documentation.
The aim is not simply to reduce the number of products. It is to create a simpler and more controlled supply system.
Start with your highest-use products. Compare consumption, dilution and cost per use, then look for over-dosing, duplicated products and avoidable small orders.
They can be more economical because a smaller quantity of concentrate may produce a larger usable volume, but the result depends on price, dilution, correct dosing and actual consumption.
Controlled dosing can reduce unnecessary chemical use where over-dosing or inconsistent manual dilution is occurring. The financial benefit depends on the product, system and current usage.
Not always. Bulk purchasing works best for products with predictable consumption and suitable storage. Cost per use, wastage and freight should also be considered.
Reducing unnecessary duplication can simplify purchasing, but different surfaces, tasks and regulated environments may require specific products. Consolidation should be based on suitability, not simply reducing the number of products.
