January 25, 2006 - Cost Comparison of Various Green Cleaners

Recently, one of our ‘Leading Green’ Distributors was featured by the State of Maine. The State, in their attempt to promote Green, conducts case studies.

Check out NE JanSan’s site at: http://www.NEJanSan.com. See how they are proudly differentiating themselves as the local leaders in Green. From there, scroll down the page to the What’s New area and click on to “Read: Maine DEP Case Study on NE JanSan”. After you complete the link, you will be on the State of Maine’s Web Site featuring their ‘Clean Green Initiatives – Case Studies”. Review the NE JanSan Study. Be sure to view the Cost Comparisons Sheets. Green Cleaners from 5 leading Green Manufacturers are summarized. Note the price differences in Cost Per Useable Quarts.

As you know, price per useable quart of chemical is not the only, nor most important factor to consider. There must be a balance of Performance – Price – Protection – Place (value adds from the Distributor and Manufacturer).

I encourage you to conduct similar price comparisons for the brands in your area, and then to do ‘side-by-side’ cleaning challenges to verify which ones perform the best, and how much better, etc. Once this is complete, you can confidently promote the best overall value for the customer balancing Performance, Protection (people and planet), Price, and Place (the specific benefits you and Enviro provide versus the other distributors and their green line).
