Cleaning materials and janitorial suppliers provide the chemicals and equipment used to keep a vessel's accommodation and public spaces clean — detergents, disinfectants, deck and floor cleaners, mops, buckets, cloths, and general janitorial consumables for cabins, mess rooms, corridors, and galleys.
Stock is distinct from the deck-maintenance chemicals and hardware used in working deck areas and from the specialist chemicals used in the engine room, covering instead routine housekeeping in living and public spaces. Because these consumables are used continuously and support the hygiene standards expected under MLC 2006 for crew accommodation, they are reordered on a routine cycle alongside provisions and other stores. Buyers compare suppliers mainly on range, price across a standard basket, and dependable delivery to the ship. It sits within the Provisions, Catering & Bonded category group on PortProcure.

How should cleaning chemicals be specified when ordering?+
Buyers specify cleaning chemicals by type — detergent, disinfectant, degreaser — and expected dilution ratio, since concentrate strength affects how far a container goes and what surfaces it's safe to use on. A supplier should confirm compatibility with the surfaces on board, such as stainless galley worktops versus cabin flooring, before substituting an equivalent product.
What paperwork should come with a cleaning chemicals delivery?+
Each cleaning chemical should be supplied with a safety data sheet covering handling, storage, and any surface or material warnings, since these products are used throughout crew accommodation and galley spaces. Buyers typically file the SDS on board alongside the delivery note, and check it particularly for any product new to the vessel's usual stock.
How do buyers decide reorder quantities for cleaning and janitorial stock?+
Quantities are usually set from actual usage tracked between port calls rather than a fixed formula, since consumption swings with crew size, climate, and inspection schedules. Buyers keep a working buffer because a shortfall stalls daily housekeeping and can be raised at an inspection, so most top up cleaning stock at whichever port call falls before that buffer runs low.
