Whether you are selling a pressure washer, an industrial floor buffer, or an entire janitorial route, using a generalized Bill of Sale in Ohio can leave you vulnerable to litigation under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act or disputes regarding worker classification. A cleaning-specific Bill of Sale ensures that equipment transfers are documented 'as-is,' existing liabilities for chemical disposal are addressed, and the buyer acknowledges the physical condition of specialized machinery to mitigate future property damage claims.

Yes, under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.05 (Statute of Frauds), contracts for the sale of goods priced at $500 or more must be in writing to be legally enforceable in the state of Ohio.
In Ohio, the sale of tangible personal property is generally taxable. While occasional 'casual sales' may be exempt, cleaning companies disposing of business assets should consult with the Ohio Department of Taxation to ensure compliance with municipal and state tax laws.
If the sale includes an assignment of an existing janitorial bond or recurring contracts, it should be explicitly stated. However, for equipment-only sales, you should specify that the buyer's own bonding must be in place to mitigate future theft or damage liabilities.
The Act prohibits unfair or deceptive acts in connection with a consumer transaction. For cleaning companies selling used equipment to individuals, you must provide clear disclaimers regarding the item's condition to avoid claims of misrepresentation.
