Two reasons why supermarket owners should stock and utilise pine sawdust

Posted on

Here are a couple of reasons why those who own supermarkets should both sell pine sawdust and keep some on hand for their staff to use.

To make the clean-up of spillages easier for their staff

One good reason for every supermarket owner to keep some bags of this product on hand for their staff to use is that this will make the clean-up of spillages much easier. In a supermarket, spillages of things like cooking oils, wines and other liquids tend to happen often, due to customers accidentally dropping these items when picking them off shelves or due to staff dropping them during the shelf-stocking process. When this happens, it can create a huge and very hazardous mess, that can lead to staff and customers slipping and falling on the large amounts of liquid seeping all over the floor.

However, if the staff have pine sawdust on hand, it could make the process of dealing with this mess quicker and easier and could reduce the chances of anyone falling. By sprinkling a bag of this sawdust over the spilt liquid, the sawdust will immediately begin to absorb the liquid and form clumps. Not only will these clumps be easy to gather up and put in the bin, but any customers or staff who need to walk through the aisle will be less likely to slip, as the sawdust will provide traction. Furthermore, because pine has a distinctive, fresh smell, this sawdust will also help to mask any odours emerging from the broken containers of liquids.

To provide their customers with access to this multi-use product

In addition to keeping some pine sawdust on hand for their staff, supermarket owners should also consider selling this product, as it is a multi-use item that many of their customers might find helpful to have access to. For example, many people like to use pine sawdust as mulch in their gardens or to add to their compost, to keep it in good condition. It's also a popular product for those who like to make their own potpourri (sawdust made from pine wood is especially useful for this, due to its naturally pleasant scent) and something that crafting enthusiasts like to utilise, to make things like fake snow for their winter-themed craft projects.

To ensure that customers who may need this product for different purposes can find it, supermarket owners who plan to stock it should keep a few bags in multiple sections of their premises (such as the section where they sell gardening products and the section where they sell crafting items).
