Car Dealership Cleaning Supplies

The Americhem Difference

Car dealerships are businesses where appearances must be at the forefront of your priorities. Customers visiting your showroom are making significant purchasing decisions, so cleanliness, shine, and even the overall atmosphere, including scent, play a key role in creating a positive first impression and setting your sales team up for success.

To achieve this, partnering with an experienced distributor that offers all the necessary resources in one place is essential. From janitorial supplies and vehicle cleaning chemicals to detailing tools, cleaning equipment, breakroom essentials, and more, having a single, reliable source ensures your business runs smoothly day after day.

Janitorial Solutions for
Car Dealerships

We know that dealerships have many different areas that need to be maintained, most of which are customer-facing, making cleaning routines that much more critical. From essentials like chemicals and equipment to specialty products and tools, we have it all.

Showrooms

The showroom is the heart of any dealership, and customers naturally expect it to look shiny, new, and spotless.

Safety Considerations

When maintaining a large, high-traffic space like this, safety should always be a top priority. This includes:

Using quick-drying cleaning solutions and equipment to prevent slips and falls
Displaying appropriate signage in wet or serviced areas
Operating low-noise equipment during business hours to minimize disruption to guests

Matting Systems

Another major game-changer for your showroom is implementing a matting system. Studies show that roughly 85% of dirt enters a facility within the first 15 to 20 feet of the building. With quality entrance matting and the right cleaning products and tools, you can significantly reduce floor maintenance needs and keep soils from spreading deeper into your facility.

Floor Care & Maintenance

It is important to note that matting doesn’t eliminate the need for regular floor care. You want your showroom floors to shine just as brightly as your vehicles, which means investing in a consistent maintenance schedule. Americhem provides both the high-performance floor care products and powerful equipment you need to keep your floors showroom-ready.

Low-Noise Equipment

Finally, because accidents can happen at any time, we supply low-noise sweepers, scrubbers, and vacuums, allowing you to quickly clean up spills or debris without disrupting your customers’ experience.

Partner with Americhem today to elevate your showroom’s appearance, enhance safety, and create an environment that reflects the same level of excellence as the vehicles you sell.

Waiting Areas

Your dealership’s waiting area plays a major role in shaping a customer’s experience. Since customers may need to wait while selecting or finalizing their vehicle purchase, it’s important to make this space as comfortable and welcoming as possible, especially for families with children.

Food & Beverage Products

Many dealerships enhance the experience by offering complimentary coffee and snacks. As a full-service distributor, Americhem supplies everything you need for this setup, including food and beverage products, disposable tableware, and breakroom essentials.

Cleaning High-Touch Surfaces

Because so many people pass through your waiting area daily, routine cleaning and sanitizing of high-touch surfaces is essential. This includes seating, tables, counters, coffee machines, water coolers, and remotes. Consistent cleaning not only creates a positive impression for visitors but also protects your sales team, who frequently meet with customers in these shared spaces.

Spot Cleaning & Stain Removal

If your waiting area includes fabric seating or carpeting, spills and stains are inevitable. Having the right cleaning tools readily available allows your team to address messes immediately and prevent permanent damage. Americhem offers a complete line of spot cleaners, extractors, and stain removers designed to restore upholstery and carpet to like-new condition.

Supporting Personal Hygiene

Finally, help customers maintain their personal hygiene by keeping hand sanitizer and tissues easily accessible throughout your facility. Small touches like these demonstrate attention to detail and a genuine care for customer well-being.

Partner with Americhem today to create a waiting area that’s both clean and inviting. Whether you need help developing cleaning routines, training your staff, or sourcing quality supplies and equipment at a competitive price, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Offices

The sales offices in your dealership play a crucial role in shaping your customers’ final impressions. When clients return to these areas to finalize paperwork, they should feel confident in their decision to trust your staff with a major purchase. This confidence often starts with the cleanliness and organization of the space.

Like waiting areas, sales offices contain numerous high-touch surfaces that are frequently used by both staff and customers. Some key areas to pay special attention to include:

Desks
Pens and writing tools
Chairs
Phones
Computers and keyboards
Other electronics or remotes
Door handles
Floors

To keep these areas looking professional, ensure your team has the right cleaning products for each type of surface, especially those safe for electronics and delicate materials. Waste baskets and trash cans should also be emptied regularly to prevent clutter and odors that can detract from your customers’ experience.

Partner with Americhem today to ensure your sales offices reflect the same professionalism and attention to detail that define your dealership itself. Our industry experts can help you choose the right products and develop a cleaning routine that keeps every surface spotless and customer-ready.

Service Bays

The service bays are one of the busiest and most essential areas in your dealership, serving as the workspace for preparing new vehicles and repairing used vehicles. Although customers may not often see this area, maintaining a clean and organized environment is key to maintaining operational efficiency.

Combating Soils, Oil & Grease

Similar to standalone repair shops, dealership service bays experience heavier-duty soils, oil, and grease spills that demand industrial-strength degreasers and specialized cleaning equipment. For teams looking to automate part of their cleaning process, we offer a complete line of industrial scrubbers and commercial floor care machines designed to handle these conditions with ease.

Bulk Chemical Solutions

Due to the high daily volume of vehicles, these areas consume larger quantities of cleaning products. Many dealerships choose to purchase bulk chemicals, such as industrial degreasers available in totes, 30-gallon drums, or 55-gallon drums, for both convenience and cost efficiency.

Safety & PPE

Because concentrated chemicals are commonly used in this space, it’s vital to ensure your team has the proper safety and personal protective equipment (PPE) to remain OSHA-compliant and safe.

Typical PPE for service bays includes:

Gloves
Masks or respirators
Safety glasses
Protective footwear and coveralls

When you work with Americhem, we are proud to offer complimentary training and seminars to our partners. This includes teaching your staff about proper cleaning routines, workplace safety, floor care, and more.

Specialty Can Liners & Tools

To support your team’s daily needs, Americhem also offers industrial-grade can liners for handling heavy debris, along with extension cleaning tools that safely reach walls, lighting fixtures, and high ceilings.

We, of course, offer a wide range of specialty tools and cleaning equipment beyond these, so feel free to browse our full catalog or reach out to us directly, and we can provide customized recommendations tailored to your needs.

Keep your service bays running smoothly and safely with Americhem’s full line of industrial cleaners, PPE, and equipment solutions. Contact our experts today to discover the ideal products for your facility’s specific needs.

Restrooms

Restroom cleaning solutions are where our partnerships with customers truly shine. With decades of experience across both chemicals and equipment, the expert staff at Americhem understands what truly impacts your team’s cleaning efficiency. We’ve seen trends come and go, but we know which products and systems consistently deliver cleaner, healthier restrooms for your facility.

Start With the Essentials: Consumables & Dispensers

The first step in any restroom evaluation is reviewing the consumables and dispensers you use every day. These items are purchased most frequently, meaning the proper selection can significantly reduce costs and improve user experience.

We assess:

Paper towels
Toilet tissue
Soap
Sanitizer
Can liners
Touch-free vs. manual dispensers (for soap and paper products)
Opportunities to reduce waste and improve dosing consistency

By optimizing these core items, facilities often see immediate savings and improved restroom satisfaction.

Next: Chemicals & Chemical Dispensing Systems

Your cleaning chemical system should fit the size of your operation and your staff’s workflow. For many dealerships, a chemical dispensing system is a game-changer.

These systems:

Eliminate manual measuring and mixing
Reduce chemical waste and over-use
Improve worker safety
Provide consistent dilution ratios for accurate and effective cleaning every time

Our team will help you select products and systems that are easy for your staff to adopt, while also maximizing cleanliness.

Then: Equipment That Elevates Restroom Cleaning

Restroom spaces require tools designed for tight areas, grout lines, uneven flooring, and high-touch surfaces. The right equipment can drastically reduce cleaning time and improve sanitation.

Some of our top recommended systems include:

Tennant i-mop Lite Floor Scrubber: Lightweight, maneuverable, excellent for smaller restrooms.
Square Scrub Doodle Scrub: Ideal for cleaning compact bathrooms with tight corners and edges.
Kaivac All Floor Cleaning System: Provides your staff with a no-touch cleaning solution for deep sanitation.
Minuteman Total Restroom Cleaning System: An efficient, high-productivity cleaning system for busy staff in busy dealerships.

These tools help your team clean more thoroughly with far less physical strain.

Going the Extra Mile: Enhancements & Experience-Boosters

Small upgrades can make a big impact on restroom perception and customer satisfaction.

Some examples of this include:

Odor-control systems and timed deodorizer dispensers
Premium or luxury soaps
Moisturizing body care products
Eco-friendly product selections

These “bonus” touches help create a cleaner, more welcoming environment for employees and visitors.

Training, Routines & Safe Chemical Handling

Even the best products fall short without proper use. If you’re struggling to maintain consistent restroom cleaning routines, standardize processes, or improve chemical handling, our team can step in and train your staff directly. From on-site walkthroughs to customized cleaning protocols, we ensure your team can clean confidently and effectively.

Breakrooms

Even though break rooms aren’t public-facing, neglecting these areas can have major consequences for your team. When germs are left to fester in shared spaces, illnesses can spread like wildfire, impacting staffing and productivity.

Common Areas

Because breakroom common areas see frequent use, it’s important to sanitize and disinfect high-touch surfaces regularly, including:

Door handles and cabinet pulls
Tables, chairs, and countertops
Microwaves, coffee makers, and refrigerators
Trash bins (empty daily to prevent odors or pests)

Additionally, if your break area includes a sink or handwashing station, ensure that essentials such as soap, sanitizer, and paper towels are always stocked to promote proper hygiene.

In general, we recommend keeping basic cleaning supplies readily available so staff can clean up after themselves throughout the day.

Pest Prevention

Break rooms typically include coffee machines, water coolers, and snacks separate from those provided for guests. With food and beverage items come spills and debris that can attract pests. Using effective cleaning products that both eliminate and properly contain the mess is essential for maintaining a safe and sanitary break area.

At Americhem, we stock both staple and specialized cleaning products for every application in your break room, including surface disinfectants and pest control can liners.

Partner with Americhem to keep your team healthy and your facility running smoothly. From everyday cleaning supplies to pest prevention solutions, we’ll help you create a cleaner, safer breakroom environment for everyone on your staff.

Building Exterior & Parking Lots

The exterior of your dealership serves as your second showroom, showcasing your vehicles to passersby before they ever step inside. Maintaining this area, including your parking lots, walkways, and drop-off zones, is essential for leaving a strong first impression on potential customers.

Drop-Off Area

The drop-off area is often the first physical touchpoint a customer has with your dealership, setting the tone for their entire experience. Whether they’re bringing a vehicle in for service or test-driving a new one, this space should reflect the same level of professionalism as your showroom.

This space is especially prone to dirt, oil, and debris tracked in by vehicles or caused by spills. Regularly using cleaning equipment to sweep and scrub the area helps keep it free of hazards and reduces the risk of slips and falls from oil residue or moisture.

Dealership Exterior

Outdoor maintenance can be another large and ongoing task, especially with changing seasons. Americhem simplifies this with our comprehensive range of commercial and industrial sweepers and scrubbers, which perform effectively in both indoor and outdoor environments. From compact walk-behind units to industrial ride-on machines, our equipment makes it easy to clean everything from narrow sidewalks to expansive parking lots.

Regardless of the season, our lineup of outdoor maintenance equipment enables you to remove snow, salt, leaves, and other debris promptly, ensuring your property remains safe and appealing throughout the year.

Windows & Glass

Dealerships often feature large glass facades that require special attention to detail. Dirt, grime, and water spots are immediately visible on glass, which is why we recommend low-pressure washers to clean without causing damage. We also offer extension wands and other accessories to help your team reach high or difficult window sections safely and effectively.

Make every corner of your dealership shine, from the drop-off area to the furthest parking space. Contact Americhem today to discover outdoor cleaning equipment and solutions that keep your exterior spotless and customer-ready in every season.

Car Wash / Detailing Bays

When dealerships receive new vehicle inventory, they need the capability to wash, detail, and maintain vehicles on-site.

This area typically requires a combination of specialty equipment, car cleaning chemicals, and accessories designed to safely clean a wide range of surfaces, both inside and outside the vehicle. Through our manufacturer partners, we offer a comprehensive range of detailing attachments and tools that your team may need.
