    I get all my cleaning chems from the janitorial supply.

    Super concentrated, and you get effectively 20 times for the same price.

    You can buy a 4L jug for like $35, and a teaspoon is enough for an entire mop pail. Sounds like a lot of money until you realize that’s an entire lifetime supply.

      Damn this is an amazing tip!! Is there a particular janitorial brand you use that I use for a keyword search?

        The reason I suggest diectly going to janitorial supply is because you get the off-label stuff which is basically all the same chemicals for a good discount.

        It’s not “zep brand pro industrial floor cleaner super duper wizbang” or anything, it will come in a blank jug with mixing ratios and the WHMIS info printed on it. Brands are for the public, janitorial supply is for frugal quality.

        Same thing with oven cleaner, it will just come in a can that says “concentrated oven cleaner”.

        At most you might see something vague like “Bottled by XYZ Chem co, Montreal”. Because that’s all that happens with industrial soaps, degreasers, lubricants, etc - some factory buys a bunch of 240 gallon drums, and squirts them into smaller bottles.

        If you must search online, use Zep but seriously it’s so much better just to go in person.
