Sanitary Maintenance April Issue Summary

Cover Story
This article profiles Maintenance Mart, the Phoenix, Arizona-based distributor who provided the jan/san supplies for this year's Super Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium. We'll cover what it takes to supply such a high-traffic and high-profile event.

GHS
By June 1, 2015, all manufacturers need to be using the new GHS labels for chemicals featuring pictograms, signal words, hazard statements and other new information. In addition, by Dec. 1, 2015, distributors will need to have sold all stock with old labels. This article discusses how distributors are ensuring they are in compliance with the December deadline.

Distribution Software
Business to Consumer customers (B2C) is a new online market for jan/san distributors to consider. Instead of losing orders to giant online retailers, distributors can attract consumer customers in need of cups, plates, towels and other supplies for large events or small offices. Distribution software is set up to differentiate B2B and B2C ordering and help distributors capture dollars from both markets.

Carpet Care
One of the predicted trends for 2015 is that a cleaning professional will use carpet equipment to clean more than just carpet. With the right wands and attachments, a carpet extractor can also be used to clean upholstery, tile and grout, ductwork and ceilings.

Hand Dryers
In order to be ADA compliant, hand dryers can't protrude more than four inches from the wall. To achieve this in the past, hand dryers had to be installed on a recessed panel into the wall. But now, technology allows for a slimmer dryer that is only four inches. It can dry hands in 10 to 12 seconds.
