Cleaning, janitorial and disposable supplies from China
Microfibre cloths, mop heads, brushes, cleaning products, foodservice disposables, till rolls and guest amenities are repeat consumables bought by facilities companies, hotel groups, caterers and retailers. Cambridge China Bridge sources them direct from Chinese factories and keeps each reorder matching the approved sample.
Consumables are bought again and again, so the value is in repeatability. We keep the approved sample, specification, packaging artwork and test evidence for every SKU and check each reorder against them, so the tenth container matches the first.
Several of these products carry their own rules in Great Britain: chemical cleaning products, single-use plastic restrictions for foodservice items, and cosmetic rules for hotel toiletries. The guides below set out what applies and what evidence to hold before the goods ship.
