Wholesale Foodservice Supply
Monarch Brands provides bulk bar mop terry towels, spun poly and cotton-poly twill aprons, bulk bistro and solid napkins, and kitchen towels to commercial laundries, foodservice suppliers, and major restaurant e-commerce platforms. We are have recently quadrupled our wholesale foodservice offerings and are excited to bring you more foodservice and retail offerings in the future. If you have a special request we will work with you to develop and private label your new SKU.

Wholesale Janitorial Supply
Monarch Brands is known for supplying bulk microfiber cloths, mops, and hardware to Janitorial and Sanitation (JanSan) Distributors. We have the capacity to ship containers of bulk microfiber mops to national distribution centers, truck pallets of bulk rags to regional chains, and blind drop ship a pack of microfiber cloths directly to your customers. Our JanSan lines evolve with the times. For example, in response to COVID-19, we developed lines of non-woven pre-soaked disinfectant wipes and SilverSure antimicrobial treated microfiber cloths. We private label wholesale microfiber cloths for several companies, and can do so for you.

Wholesale Textile Rental
Monarch Brands wholesale textile rental lines are sought after by commercial laundries due to their longevity and quality. For instance, our bulk institutional towels blend the strength of a poly ground with the softness of 100% ring-spun cotton. We carry several weights and qualities of bar mops in five color stripes, often private labeling for larger textile rental companies. SmartChoice microfiber mops are available in light-weight foam-filled mops (for high-loss environments) to microfiber-filled mops that last 500 washes. Our Mariposa napery marries spun poly filament with spun poly to achieve a perfect balance of price and quality. Ask our laundry experts to work with you. We’ll recommend samples for you to put through the wringer, then provide you with an affordable program.

Wholesale Hospitality Supply
Supplying bale packed bulk institutional towels to hotels is what got us started in the linen business. We understand that making the best white towel isn’t necessarily about making the plushest, most massive towel. It’s about providing excellent choices for the budget. We work with our customers to offer towels that balance lifecycle with comfort. Our towel lines have grown to include wholesale institutional white towel cartons, 100% cotton colored towels, specialist gym towels, makeup removal towels, and sheets.

Wholesale Industrial Supply
Wholesale industrial supply is our wheelhouse. We started in the bulk rag business and were one of the first companies to implement a private label wiper program. We re-purpose millions of pounds of used textile products annually. These items are generated from used clothing or discarded institutional textile use. All products are cut and inspected by hand. We have expanded since the early days, offering several woven rags, retail packed products, bulk microfiber cloths, and mops, as well as all textiles necessary to keep the wheels of industry turning.

Retail Programs
Since 2014 Monarch Brands has made its retail program vertical a priority. We hired rug and towel specialists with first-hand mill relationships, bolstered the marketing and design department, and manage a healthy new product development program. We work with department store chains to develop trending kitchen towels, bath towels, and microfiber products. The warehouse has evolved with a sizable pick and pack area to handle blind dropshipping for national chains. Our e-commerce department has established MAP for every SKU that’s available to be sold online. Talk to us about developing a retail or e-commerce program today.

Color-Coded Microfiber Cleaning Systems

Color-Coded Microfiber Mops And Cloths Are Essential For Safe And Efficient Facilities Maintenance

The rise of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) is prolific amongst the elderly, sick, and young. The New England Medical Journal reports that in healthcare facilities alone 721,000 HAIs are reported annually contributing to 75,000 mortalities. Hospitals schools, daycares, nursing homes, and even the hospitality industry are implementing microfiber cloths in a color-coded system to combat this.

What colors are used for each cleaning task?

There is no defined answer other than you designate a specific color for a particular job. When I train a group, I try and use four colors in the microfiber rags wiping system and two colors in the mopping system. I try to make it as easy as possible to remember so that after a few days after implementing the program it becomes natural. Here are the colors I recommend designating for specific tasks, but you can always change it to fit your plan.

Microfiber Cloths

Yellow – Dry Dusting and polishing.
Red – Restrooms area such as toilets and urinals, hazard areas.
Blue – Glass, and mirrors.
Green – General areas such as desks, tables, kitchens, sinks, water fountains.

Microfiber Mops

Red – Restrooms & hazard areas.
Green – Foodservice restaurants & kitchens
Blue – General areas such as classrooms & hallways.

How do we prevent cross-contamination?

Use a specific microfiber mop color for each room. Unlike traditional cotton mops, microfiber flat mops take up little space and can be stacked so you may use a mop for every room. Never take the mop that we just used in the restroom and bring those germs out into the general areas and hallways. Clean the bathroom, take off the mop, put it in your laundry bag, and start fresh with a new microfiber mop as we move into a new area. This will make sure whatever the germs are in a particular area are contained.

So why not just use a clean cloth or mop of the same color?

I recently implemented a color-coding system at a local university. I was explaining to the group you should never use a red towel outside of the bathroom. Somebody asked, “Why don’t you just use a clean red cloth?”

I told the team that you may be using a brand new clean red cloth to clean a water fountain in the hallway, but a person may have just seen you using a red cloth cleaning a toilet or a urinal. We don’t want the person that is observing the situation going to your supervisor complaining that you used the same cloth to clean the fountain right after you cleaned the bathroom. They have no idea you changed to a clean cloth and will assume the worst. We need to keep up the color-coding procedure to ensure our customers that we are cleaning properly.

But my team will be resistant to change…

I have done color-coding microfiber training many times, and it’s not always easy breaking the employees’ cleaning routine. I hear comments like “you don’t know what it’s like cleaning 25,000 square feet a night. We don’t have time to worry about the color towels we are using.” As I try to sympathize with the employee, I explain the potential of spreading harmful germs from one area to another. I let them know as they get used to the system, they will feel more comfortable, and it will get easier as they break the usual routine. Eventually, the team will appreciate and embrace using new microfiber cloths for each room. It is more sanitary for them too.

Clean smarter, save lives. That should be the rallying cry of every aspect of your facilities maintenance team. As a janitorial equipment supplier, our wholesale microfiber cloths and towels are designed to make cleaning easier for everyone.
