Key Factors in Warehouse Cleaning - by Murray McDonald In the last 10 years, industrial cleaning processes have become more modern, taking into consideration for the specific cleaning issue involved. Traditionally, water combined with high pressure was the main method for cleaning in all types of industrial sectors, including warehouse cleaning. However, water alone isn’t a disinfectant and when combined with chemicals this can cause dirt build-up rather than removal, as well as an increase in WHS issues such as slips and falls.

Compared to domestic or commercial cleaning, a key difference in industrial cleaning is that the areas that need to be covered are much larger. Larger areas can lead to key cleaning areas being missed, longer labour time and increased risk of WHS issues.

Warehouse cleaning is a key industrial cleaning area, with many industrial sectors having a warehouse for the transportation and distribution for goods. the following are three key factors involved in warehouse cleaning.

a heavy roller door is opened and closed, it blows in debris from outside, scattering it around a large and open-spaced environment, making it hard to confine the dirt to one area for cleaning and removal.

Today’s modern industrial cleaning technology is especially designed for this specific issue of dirt and debris in large areas. Scrubbing machines and sweepers are made to go across both concrete and epoxy-painted concrete, which are the two main floor surfaces of a warehouse.

Industrial cleaning equipment and processes need not oly pick up loose and large debris, but also wash and flush a floor surface to ensure the smaller particles are not being left behind to accumulate.

Dust and debris Dust and debris is the main cause of dirt build up in a warehouse. Vehicles such as forklift trucks bring in dust from being driven in dustry environments.

As well as this, the packaging or equipment used in the transportation of products, such as pallets, also bring in and accumulate large amounts of debris.

Roller shutter doors are a key feature of a warehouse that can cause more dust to be brought in. When

Owner of Bell Motor Inn, Kathy, tells Duplex how going down a greener path has not only saved their business in hundreds of chemicals costs, but has also been a more convenient and faster way of ensuring a deep clean. curtains, windows, fly screens, stove cleaning and even defrosting the fridge.

I was using chemicals, such as strong bleach for most of our cleaning applications. I would normally be wearing gloves and a face mask, and getting down on the floor and scrubbing manually.

We have significantly cut our water usage. We have saved over 30 litres of water per clean, and that’s just for the bathroom. Now, the most water we would use for a general clean of a bathroom would be 1 litre.

I’m actually allergic to chemicals! Also, I just wanted to go down a greener path for the environment.

That’s when I came across a Jetsteam Maxi. It is a small, high temperature steam cleaner.

We have no longer had to purchase strong chemicals and the labour, effort, time and work it normally took me to clean just the bathroom has dramatically improved.

High temperature steam actually kills spores, not just removes mould. No longer do I have to constantly go back and do massive cleans because of fast growing mould.

We first purchased the Jetsteam Maxi as we saw how quick and easy it was to kill mould with steam, such as the build up of mould in bathrooms. It actually killed the pore However, as I found with the machine, it can be used for a range of applications. I use the steam machine for most of our cleaning applications around the motel, including bathrooms, mirrors, floors, grout, carpet, mattresses, bed heads,

“I need a cleaning product that can mask bad odours in my facility. However, my business has customers walking in and out on a daily basis and I don’t want them to be allergic to any chemicals I use. What do you suggest?” Dan, Melbourne

It’s common for individuals to assume that a “chemical” smell means something has then been sanitised. The number one rule to remember when it comes to stale odours and smells is that “no smell is a clean smell”.

A fragrance or perfume merely masks bad smells, and does not solve the original problem. When smells are masked, the source of the problem still remains and bacteria continues to grow leading to the flow on effect of various hygiene issues.

Ensure the area/s you need masked are actually deep cleaned. Use high temperature on these surfaces, whether it be carpet, table, kitchen, curtains or chairs. Whatever the application, give it a good steam clean and the smell should disappear because the source of the smell is no longer.
