Where to bulk-buy?

I'm looking to set up a cleaning company that uses only natural cleaning materials, i.e. vinegar, salt, bicarb etc.

Does anyone know where I can buy these in bulk?

Thanks

    Id try chinese supermarkets or Makro - I believe you can get big containers from both, although im not sure on costs if you are buying stacks of the stuff for business!

    Chinese Supermarkets are very good and cheap for vinegar/bicarb/salt. Around £1.90 for 5 litres of vinegar, not sure how much the other two are, but very large packets and pretty small prices.

    At bigger ones, you'll get a discount for buying cases of them too. so you can get 6 5l bottles of vinegar for around £9-10.

    Costco do 5l vinegar for £1.60 although thier membership is £25 a year. If you are fortunate enough to have a fish wholesaler near you, try them for vinegar (they supply chippies) I got a 5l container of concentrated vinegar for my mum (1 part vinegar 19 parts water) for buttons. Worth a try. :)
