Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an all-purpose cleaner and a multi-purpose cleaner?
While they sound identical, there is a subtle difference based on brand formulations. They can both be used on a variety of surfaces, but an all-purpose cleaner might be safe for specific materials that a multi-purpose cleaner is not, and vice versa. Always check the detailed product descriptions on the label to see what surfaces each cleaner is best used for.
Are cleaners and disinfectants the same thing?
No, they serve two distinct purposes. Cleaners are designed to lift and remove dirt, grime, and some germs from surfaces. Disinfectants contain chemicals designed specifically to kill bacteria and viruses. For the best results, use a one-two combo: clean the surface first to remove dirt, then apply a disinfectant to kill remaining germs.
What are the best cleaning supplies to buy in bulk?
Items that you use daily or weekly are best purchased in bulk to save money and ensure you never run out. This includes dish soap, trash bags, disinfecting wipes, toilet bowl cleaners, and floor mop refills (like Swiffer pads).
Does Sam’s Club sell commercial cleaning supplies for businesses?
Absolutely. We carry a wide range of janitorial supplies specifically packaged for business use, including high-capacity soap dispensers, industrial-sized floor cleaners, and bulk disinfecting wipes. Many of these items are designed for offices, restaurants, and daycare centers.
