Stocking up for the New Year’s cleaning rush

Most people dedicate themselves to a New Year’s resolution – whether they stick to it or not is another story.
Keeping the house tidy is quite a popular choice, and it’s easy to see why. With our lives becoming so busy, it can become a challenge to stay on top of our crowded homes.
It’s cleaning season
A lot of people are going to be stocking up on products that can be used to freshen up their homes in the new year. In fact, a survey from British Gas in 2016 found that the average Briton spends 11 hours cleaning their home every spring!
In many people’s minds, a good clean consists of the full works – sweeping, polishing and getting into every nook and cranny. So that means as a retailer, having a broad, wide-spanning offering of cleaning products can reap dividends.
How people can enjoy cleaning
Believe it or not, cleaning up can actually be satisfying and enjoyable – particularly once things start to look spick and span and as you’d like them to be. It’s all about having the right approach, and this is something to consider when looking to sell cleaning products to customers this spring.
If it is seen as a tedious task (which it can be at times) then it probably won’t be much fun. But there are ways to encourage your customers to change it up next year.
Did you know that by playing music you can increase productivity? Moreover, cleaning in the morning and rewarding yourself are useful ways to get the job done faster.
However, be sure to stress it can be hard to even start a cleaning task when the right tools and products aren’t available – this is where you come in as a retailer.
How shops should prepare
People will be going out on the hunt for new cleaning products and expect their favourite stores to have something available. If they don’t, they’ll simply shop somewhere else.
From a business perspective, we suggest stocking up on a variety of wholesale cleaning materials in time for the big demand in the new year. Mops, brushes, gloves, sponges and cloths are just some of the basics people will be buying when it comes to cleaning products in the new year.
While you’re stocking up with wholesale cleaning products, why not consider household cleaners too? As leading cleaning wholesalers, we have a fantastic range of air fresheners, bathroom cleaning items, carpet products and disinfectants from leading and trusted brands, available at brilliant trade prices.
We’ve already offered cleaning tips and covered how to sell cleaning products in bundles, so feel free to take some inspiration from our previous blog.
No better time for home improvements
Another one of the popular options on the New Year’s bucket list for many is getting round that home improvement they have been wanting. Whether it is an upgrade to the bathroom, a cleaner garden with new equipment, or some new additions to the kitchen, people will be on the look-out for these items.
