Request a Orlando QuoteWe deliver statewide across Florida, and Orlando — in central Florida — is served through our Florida-wide delivery program. Orders ship from our Opa-locka warehouse by freight or carrier, so Orlando facilities can buy commercial janitorial, restroom and cleaning supplies at true wholesale case and pallet pricing from a single South Florida source.
We supply offices, restaurants, schools, gyms, medical offices, warehouses, property managers and cleaning companies in Orlando with commercial cleaning supplies, wholesale restroom supplies, paper, can liners, soap and chemicals. Because Orlando ships by freight, contact us for a quote and we’ll confirm delivery timing, minimums and the fastest option for your order.
Orlando is a lodging and turnover market before it is anything else, and it sits on water that most buyers guess wrong about. Those two facts — how often your rooms change hands, and how hard your water actually is — change the order more than any price list does. Here is the arithmetic, and one place where the honest answer costs us money.
Almost every supply budget we are asked to review is built on occupancy. That works for the paper and it fails for everything else, because the two scale on different clocks. Bath tissue, roll towel and can liners are consumed by nights occupied. Amenity kits, soap bars, tissue starters, laundered rag loads and terminal-clean chemistry are consumed by arrivals — a departure and a fresh set-up costs almost the same whether the guest stayed three nights or seven.
Run it for a twenty-unit property at 70 per cent occupancy over a thirty-day month. That is 420 occupied room-nights either way. At an average three-night stay, those 420 nights are about 140 turnovers. At an average seven-night stay, they are about 60. Same occupancy, same paper burn — and roughly 2.3 times the amenity kits, the terminal-clean chemical, and the rag and linen loads.
That ratio is why an Orlando short-stay operation and a downtown extended-stay property with identical occupancy reports place completely different orders. If you size amenities off a per-night rule of thumb you run short every single month and pay for emergency top-ups; if you size paper off a per-turnover rule you sit on stock you did not need. Split the order down that line: paper and liners against nights, everything a housekeeper opens against arrivals. Pull the arrivals count out of your booking system rather than estimating it — it is the one number nobody has in front of them when they place the order, and it is the one that decides the order.
OUC publishes the figure directly: the average hardness of its water is 129 ppm, or 7 grains per gallon, drawn from the Lower Floridan Aquifer. Set against the USGS hardness scale — 0–60 soft, 61–120 moderately hard, 121–180 hard, above 180 very hard — Orlando lands just inside “hard,” near the bottom of that band and nowhere near the top.
That matters because of how disinfectant labels are written. An EPA-registered quaternary disinfectant earns its kill claim against a stated water hardness, commonly 400 ppm as calcium carbonate under the AOAC method. Calcium and magnesium bind the active cation, so diluting above the figure on your label puts you outside the registered claim. At 129 ppm you are comfortably inside it.
The practical consequence runs against our own interest to say: in Orlando you generally do not need to pay up for chelated, hard-water-tolerant concentrates. That upsell earns its keep in genuinely hard markets. Here, buy on dilution ratio and cost per diluted gallon instead, and read the hardness statement on the label you already use before anyone sells you a reformulation.
Two caveats worth ten seconds of your time. OUC serves the City of Orlando and parts of Orange County — other parts of the metro sit with Orange County Utilities or Toho Water, so confirm which utility actually serves your address and look up its published figure. And hardness is an average across a system, not a guarantee at your tap. If you are choosing between concentrates on this basis, our guide to concentrated versus ready-to-use cleaning chemicals covers how the dilution maths works out per gallon.
Our own delivery vans run Miami-Dade to Palm Beach. Orlando sits roughly 230 miles north of our Opa-locka warehouse and is served through statewide freight, which changes what a good order looks like. Freight is priced by density, not by weight alone, so a pallet of bath tissue — light and bulky — is expensive to move, while chemicals and cased soap are heavy, compact and cheap. The cheapest janitorial order to freight is a mixed pallet, not a paper-only pallet. Pairing light, bulky goods with dense ones lifts the shipment’s average density and drops the class it moves at.
The honest corollary: on a single small order, an Orlando cash-and-carry can beat us, because there is no freight in their number. On a full pallet or a standing monthly order, case and pallet pricing from one wholesale source usually wins even after freight. Ask both suppliers for a delivered price on the same list — that is the only comparison that means anything, and it is the same test we apply when we beat an invoice line by line. Our breakdown of case versus retail pricing shows where the gap actually opens up.
Because you are on a freight cycle rather than a next-day van, the cost of running out is higher than the cost of holding. Carry deeper on the items that stop a room being sold — amenity kits, bath tissue, roll towel, can liners in your two highest-turn sizes — and thinner on anything you can substitute in a pinch. Set the reorder point for those items at your peak-week consumption rather than the monthly average, because Orlando demand does not arrive evenly across a month. Everything else can ride the normal cycle. If you want the maths done for you, the supplies calculator will estimate monthly usage from headcount or room count, and an open business account holds case pricing steady between orders so a peak-month order does not reprice.
Yes. We deliver statewide across Florida. Orlando orders ship by freight or carrier from our Opa-locka warehouse — contact us to confirm timing and minimums for your order.
Because Orlando is served by freight rather than by our own vans, timing depends on your order size and the carrier schedule. Contact us with your list and we’ll confirm the fastest option.
Statewide freight orders may carry a minimum to keep shipping efficient. We’ll confirm the minimum and the case and pallet pricing for your Orlando order when you request a quote.
OUC publishes an average hardness of 129 ppm, or 7 grains per gallon, from the Lower Floridan Aquifer. On the USGS scale that is at the low end of “hard.” Because EPA-registered quat disinfectants commonly carry a kill claim tested at around 400 ppm as calcium carbonate, Orlando water sits well inside label tolerance — so hard-water-tolerant concentrates are usually an expense you can skip here. Confirm which utility serves your address, since parts of the metro are on Orange County Utilities or Toho Water.
Split the order. Paper and can liners track occupied room-nights; amenity kits, soaps, terminal-clean chemicals and rag loads track arrivals. Twenty units at 70 per cent occupancy is about 420 room-nights either way, but that is roughly 140 turnovers at a three-night average stay and only 60 at seven — about 2.3 times the amenity consumption for identical occupancy. Order consumables against your arrivals count, not your occupancy.
On one small order, a local cash-and-carry can win, because there is no freight in their price. On a full pallet or a standing monthly order, case and pallet pricing from a single wholesale source usually wins even after freight. Ask both suppliers for a delivered price on the same list — that is the only fair comparison.
Think in pallets rather than cases, and mix the pallet. Combining light, bulky paper goods with dense items such as chemicals and gallon soap raises the shipment's average density, which lowers the freight class and the cost to move it.
