Industrial Cleaning
Cleaned on your shift schedule by a crew trained on OSHA, not improvising. Floors that hold COF spec, audits that pass on documentation — not just the eye test.
What goes wrong when it's half-done.
An industrial facility doesn't fail an audit because someone didn't sweep — it fails because the cleaner used the wrong chemistry on the wrong concrete, and the floor stopped meeting coefficient-of-friction spec. The same recipe doesn't work in a 200,000-sf distribution center as in a 30,000-sf food-grade warehouse. A real industrial program is per-zone, per-concrete-type, per-shift.
Four operational principles, written into the route plan.
Crew trained on OSHA general industry, lockout/tagout awareness, and lift operation where the scope requires it
Floor program built around your concrete: polished, sealed, epoxy, or unfinished — not a generic auto-scrub recipe
Chemistry matched to the soil source — organic, hydraulic, or carbon — not a one-bucket cleaner
Schedule built around your shift changes, not against them
What's included
- Production-floor sweep, autoscrub, and forklift-traffic scuff removal
- Ride-on or walk-behind autoscrubber programs sized to the facility, with documented pad and chemistry choices
- Restroom and locker-room scope tuned to industrial soiling — not priced like a Class A office bathroom
- Break-room and cafeteria reset
- Office cleaning inside the industrial envelope — front office, dispatch, foreman office
- Dock door, vestibule, and entry-zone cleaning
- Photo verification packet by 9am the next morning
What's not included
We name the line items we won't quietly run past you.
- Confined-space entry without a separate scope and permit
- Production-line equipment cleaning above the floor (typically your maintenance team)
- Hazardous or regulated waste handling (requires a licensed hauler)
- Roof, exterior wall, or building-envelope cleaning (project quote)
- Full GMP / SQF food-processing or pharma sanitation (we partner; we won't oversell it)
Specific tools. Documented chemistry. Operator credibility through specificity.
Equipment
- Ride-on autoscrubbers with documented pad-grit progressions (red for daily maintenance, brown for periodic strip — not whichever pad is in the truck)
- Walk-behind units for restroom and aisle work where ride-on access is restricted
- Hot-water pressure washers for dock pads and trash compactor zones
- HEPA vacuums for combustible-dust environments — regular shop-vacs are a fire risk in the wrong building
- Forklift-rated PPE on every staffer, not visitor passes
Chemistry & approach
Soil source drives the method. Same square foot, different chemistry, different labor.
- Forklift tire scuff (rubber transfer)
- Daily neutral autoscrub. Periodic alkaline strip. No solvents on polished concrete.
- Hydraulic-fluid spills
- Absorbent first, then alkaline-degrease, then rinse. Solvent-based degreasers etch sealed concrete.
- Food residue (warehouse)
- Quat-rotation disinfectant on a 7-day cycle, dwell time logged.
- Combustible dust (e.g., grain, sugar)
- HEPA vacuum only — no compressed air, no sweeping. Documented per NFPA combustible-dust guidance.
When to add this to a recurring program
Cadence options we run for Industrial: 5 nights/week, 3 nights/week, Weekly deep + daily porter, Custom shift schedule. We'll sequence it inside your existing program so the building doesn't see a second crew.
