Be it a factory or warehouse, cleaning any industrial-type environment requires following a custom plan. The good news is that you can trust professional industrial cleaners, WA Sweeping and Scrubbing to develop and implement such a plan for the best possible results every time.
Coming up with this customized industrial cleaning plan takes into consideration the following primary elements
Safety Above All
Safety is without doubt one of the most important factors to keep in mind when cleaning any industrial space. The primary focus is coming up with proper handling procedures.
The first thing industrial cleaners need to know is the kind of waste they will be handling as they clean around your premises. Will there be any hazardous material? Chemical spills? Oil spills? Such require special procedures and equipment to handle. This covers not just cleaning the industrial surfaces, but also planning for the disposal of this waste.
Your staff’s safety will always come first. Professional industrial cleaners will recognize as much and do everything to ensure their cleaning activities do not risk the health and safety of your team, as well as their own.
For windows and other high places that are hard to reach from the floor, the cleaning team should use pole-mounted brushes and squeegees. This is to avoid climbing, which comes with its own safety concerns. The team must use stepladders and stools with a sturdy base to avoid falling.
Type of Floors
Floors may require special attention, that is, specific cleaning products and procedures, depending on their type. Professional industrial cleaners will always keep this in mind to avoid damaging your floors, and ensure they get that deep clean.
Again, as an industrial space, it is expected that your floors will be lined up with machinery and equipment. Cleaning such a space will no doubt be a little different compared to cleaning an open space. This is definitely something professional industrial cleaners keep in mind when coming up with a cleaning plan.
WA Sweeping and Scrubbing is committed to cleaning your industrial spaces without disrupting how you have organized your machinery. Again, even with your floor types changing from one room to the next in your industrial facility, we have mastered the right cleaning solution for each floor type.
The Place of Conventional Cleaning
A large industrial facility will no doubt have multiple large areas. It is best to separate these areas into critical and non-critical areas. To avoid cross-contamination, expert industrial cleaners will often have separate teams handling the critical and non-critical areas.
While critical areas such as the laboratories, manufacturing or production areas, welding areas and assembly areas require specialized cleaning, conventional cleaning will do just fine for the non-critical areas. Such include all common areas, the office block, and lunch areas.
Plan for Emergency Clean-Ups
In an industrial facility, accidental spills and other such occurrences that call for emergency clean-ups can happen at any time. You need to be absolutely ready to have the mess cleaned up within the shortest time possible. In this case, if you have a well-trained in-house team of cleaners, then cleaning up should not be too much of a hassle.
On the other hand, if you have outsourced all your industrial cleaning functions to a cleaning company, you need to be sure you have hired the right one. Go for a company that guarantees a short response time. Choose a local company that you are confident will be on site within an hour, or at most, just a few hours after you call. You also want to make sure the cleaning company you hire is well trained and experienced in handling emergency clean ups.
Clear the Clutter
Decluttering your spaces can have such a profound impact on your workflow and productivity. In recognizing the same, the industrial cleaning company will ensure they clear away piles of paper, boxes and other items not in use around your facility. If there is any old equipment that you don’t use, you can always ask them to move it elsewhere.
In addition to improving the workflow, decluttering your industrial facility will also help to improve the safety of your staff and anyone else who comes into your facility. This is because these items can be a trip, slip and fall hazard.
