COMMERCIAL CLEANING & JANITORIAL sector
Lighter vans. Tighter costs. A story that wins bids.
The operational problem
Heavy stock and loose dosing eat margin on every contract.
Vans full of liquid, cupboards full of bottles, and dosing that depends on who's holding the container. Every over-pour is margin gone; every heavy delivery is time and handling you're not paid for.

Comparison stats

Per 900 doses — one month of washroom cleaning for a mobile team, and one case of Leaf. Basis: Jantex Washroom Cleaner RTU 750ml, £1.39 ex VAT, Nisbets, September 2026. One Leaf sheet makes one 750ml trigger bottle. Bottle weight 55g empty, 805g filled. Pack dimensions and weights from Leaf trade specifications. All prices ex VAT. Volumes are shelf and van footprint, not liquid capacity. Against 5L concentrate dosed at 40:1, Leaf costs more per dose — the saving there is weight, storage, packaging and dosing accuracy.
Frequently asked questions
Why do contract cleaners switch to detergent sheets?+
Three reasons: cost control, weight and differentiation. Pre-measured sheets fix the cost of every clean, lighten what mobile teams carry, and give contractors a modern, evidence-based story to tell in tenders.
Do pre-measured sheets really control cost per clean?+
Because each sheet is one identical dose, usage per room or per shift becomes predictable. Over-pouring — one of the biggest hidden costs in liquid chemicals — is designed out of the format.
Can Leaf products be left on client sites?+
Yes. Slimline packs sit in a standard cupboard, so teams can hold stock at each client site without needing a chemical store or hauling product between jobs.
