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.
Photo packet, escalation log, monthly report.
The artifact trail your auditor, your tenant, and your CFO can all read.
Date, address, scope completed, eight to twelve annotated photos, tech sign-off — emailed before you walk in.
Anything flagged on a visit gets logged and routed to a named lead. You see the open tickets, not the silence around them.
Photo-verified service, escalation log, scope adherence, consumables — one PDF, every site, every month.
A real number after a 15-minute walk.
We bid industrial from a walkthrough, not a square-footage table. Pricing reflects the building's risk profile, the crew tier, and the cadence. We'll quote a real number after a 15-minute site visit and never raise it mid-contract without 60 days written notice.
Annual review, written 60 days in advance, capped at CPI for renewals. No mid-contract surprises.

Industrial Cleaning, on a documented program.
Send us your scope and we'll send a real number back. Or book a 15-minute walkthrough — we bring a notepad and a camera, not a sales deck.
