Cleaning accessory shop in Kenya

Cleaning tools sold by surface and task, with replacement parts identified at the point of sale.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional cleaning-accessory batch: ten Titiz TP-109 dish brushes, each supplied with a task card identifying kitchen use and no surface-disinfection guarantee. Brushes are sold new and dry, not used to clean customers’ kitchens. The customer identifies delicate coatings before choosing a tool; the shop does not supply chemical dilution advice.

Who is the first customer?

Households, cleaners and office caretakers.

Test the offer

Let a few cleaning customers test sample handles, brushes and mop heads before stocking.
