One call for the whole janitorial closet
CutStep represents three Illinois manufacturers to restaurants, bars, casinos, hotels and fleet buildings. One rep, one conversation, three factories. Each ships to you direct on its own paper at its factory price, so you are not paying a distributor’s margin on any of it.
The chemicals
Floor Chem, Romeoville. 30 years. Woman-owned, minority-owned, certified DBE through the Illinois Unified Certification Program.
- Floor wax stripper with no ammonia, so it runs on a floor that never closes
- Acrylic floor wax, neutral cleaner degreaser, oven and grill cleaner, dish detergent
- Descaler for dish machines and fixtures; hand soap in the scent you choose
- Metra has bought the FC-099 degreaser for more than 12 years; the State, the Tollway and the Secretary of State buy from the same tanks
The machines
Minuteman International, Pingree Grove. Minuteman, PowerBoss and Citymaster USA. Factory direct, drop shipped.
- Walk-behind and ride-on scrubbers, sweepers, burnishers, carpet extractors and vacuums, built in Illinois
- PowerBoss is the heavy end for parking structures, warehouses and shop floors; RoboScrub runs the floor on its own after hours
- We size the machine to the floor before we quote it: square footage, surface, hours open, what you run today
The restroom
Bella Bagno, Niles. Exclusive United States distributor of Hygolet.
- Hygolet hygienic seat: a fresh sleeve for every guest at the press of a button
- BellaMat antimicrobial urinal mats, recycled PET with a change indicator; monthly in an office, weekly where the bar is busy
- Logo entrance mats and runners, Berber and Super Nop, cut to your door

How it works
1Tell us what you go through in a month, or send last quarter’s invoices for any of the three categories.
2We price each line against what you pay today and send the numbers back the same day.
3Each factory ships to you direct on its own invoice. You deal with one person, Nick, for all three.
No contract, no minimum across lines. Floor Chem ships by the pallet, Bella Bagno by the case, machines one at a time.
