The right cleaner or degreaser is just one part of a maintenance job. The supplies you use alongside it — from protective equipment to wipes and cleanup tools — deserve a place on your checklist, too.

 

In November and December, we’re highlighting products to support your chemical maintenance tasks. As you review your inventory, consider these five areas to help you prepare for the work ahead.

 

1\. Review Your Protective Equipment

 

Review your protective equipment needs alongside the chemicals you use. Available options include [Chemical Resistant Neoprene Gloves](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Safety-PPE/Gloves/Chemical-Resistant-Gloves#P905292-anchor), [Chemical Resistant Nitrile Gloves](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Safety-PPE/Gloves/Chemical-Resistant-Gloves#P905291-anchor), [Wheelz® Anti-Fog Safety Goggles](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/83365), [P100/Organic Vapor and P100/Acid Gas Drop Down Respirator Kits](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Safety-PPE/Respiratory-Protection/Half-Mask-Respirators#P910108-anchor) and [Promax Coveralls](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Safety-PPE/Work-Safety-Apparel/Work-Coveralls#P401469-anchor).

 

Inventory check: Are anti-fog safety goggles on your list for cold-weather work?

 

2\. Check Your Emergency Supplies

 

Emergency supplies are another part of your inventory to review. For example, Kimball Midwest offers [Eyewash Stations](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Safety-PPE/First-Aid/Eye-Skin-Wash#P400729-anchor), [Eyewash Solution](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Safety-PPE/First-Aid/Eye-Skin-Wash#P400712-anchor) and [Burn Care and Eye Care Treatment Packs](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Safety-PPE/First-Aid/First-Aid-Kits#P400743-anchor).

 

Inventory check: Review the expiration dates on your eyewash solution and identify other supplies due for replacement.

 

3\. Find the Right Wipes for Your Work

 

When you stock up on cleaners and degreasers, look at your wipes and towels, too. Options include [Pro•Clean™ Wipes](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Cleaning-Janitorial/Cleaning-Supplies/Rags-Wipes#P401197-anchor), [Pro•Clean™ 2 Heavy-Duty Wipes](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Cleaning-Janitorial/Cleaning-Supplies/Rags-Wipes#P401187-anchor), [Tuff-Wipes 2](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Cleaning-Janitorial/Cleaning-Supplies/Rags-Wipes#P400362-anchor), [Heavy-Duty Shop Wipes](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Cleaning-Janitorial/Cleaning-Supplies/Rags-Wipes#P400360-anchor), [Gray Shop Rags](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/831955) and [Red Cotton Shop Towels](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/831941).

 

Inventory check: Do you prefer paper wipes or cotton towels? Consider the durability and dispensing options that fit your daily tasks. The Pro•Clean™ line offers varying levels of durability to match different needs.

 

4\. Review Your Spill-Control Supplies

 

If your operation handles fluids in bulk, include spill-control supplies in your inventory review. Explore [Chemical Pads](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Spill-Control/Absorbents#P400536-anchor), [Chemical Rolls](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Spill-Control/Absorbents#P400537-anchor) and the [SpilFyter QwikKit™ Spill Kit](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/83959).

 

Inventory check: Review both your everyday absorbent needs and the complete spill kits included in your emergency preparations.

 

5\. Round Out Your Floor-Care Supplies

 

Your floor-care inventory extends beyond cleaners and degreasers. Round out your supplies with [Grease-Beater™ Mop Heads](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Cleaning-Janitorial/Cleaning-Supplies/Mop-Heads#P400518-anchor), [Floor and Garage Brooms](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Shop-Supplies/Cleaning-Janitorial/Cleaning-Supplies/Brooms), a [Dust Pan](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/87556) and a [Wet Floor Sign](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/873603).
