7 steps for a clean facility
Below, we’ve outlined 7 steps that make cleaning your carpark or warehouse, so much easier.
-
Assess your cleaning needs
Every carpark and warehouse is unique, and cleaning requirements can vary significantly. The first step in our process is understanding your specific needs. We begin with an on-site inspection to evaluate the size of the space, the type of flooring, and the extent of debris or stains. This allows us to customise our cleaning plan, ensuring the best possible results.
For instance, high-traffic carparks may require frequent scrubbing to remove oil stains and tyre marks, while warehouses often demand a focus on dust and debris removal. By tailoring our services, we address the unique challenges of your space effectively.
-
Clear the area
Before starting the mechanical cleaning process, it is crucial to prepare the area. This involves removing obstacles such as pallets, vehicles, or large debris that could obstruct the machines. We coordinate with your team to minimise disruption to your operations, scheduling our services during non-peak hours whenever possible.
Clearing the area not only ensures safety during cleaning but also maximises the efficiency of our ride-on sweepers and scrubbers. With a clutter-free space, we can deliver thorough and uninterrupted cleaning.
-
Sweep for debris removal
The first stage of the mechanical cleaning process involves sweeping to eliminate loose dirt, dust, and debris. Our ride-on sweepers are equipped with powerful brushes and suction mechanisms that effortlessly pick up particles, leaving the surface clean and ready for the next step.
Sweeping is particularly important in warehouses where forklifts and other machinery can scatter dust and small debris. In carparks, it helps remove litter, leaves, and other detritus that accumulate over time. By thoroughly sweeping the area, we lay the groundwork for effective scrubbing.
-
Scrub for deep cleaning
Once the surface is free of loose debris, we move on to scrubbing. Our ride-on scrubbers use a combination of water, cleaning solutions, and rotating brushes to tackle stubborn stains, grease, and grime. The machines are designed to cover large areas efficiently while ensuring consistent results.
For carparks, scrubbing is essential to remove oil spills, tyre marks, and other residues that can compromise the appearance and safety of the space. In warehouses, it helps eliminate grime and contaminants, creating a cleaner and healthier environment for employees. Our team carefully selects eco-friendly cleaning agents that are tough on dirt but gentle on your surfaces and the environment.
-
Handling hard-to-reach areas
While ride-on machines are highly effective for large, open spaces, some areas may require additional attention. Corners, edges, and tight spots are addressed manually using specialised tools. Our team ensures that no part of your carpark or warehouse is overlooked, delivering a comprehensive clean that meets the highest standards.
These manual efforts complement the work of the machines, providing a seamless and complete cleaning experience. Whether it’s removing cobwebs from warehouse rafters or tackling corners in multi-level carparks, we cover every detail.
-
Drying the surface
After scrubbing, it is important to ensure that the surface dries quickly to prevent slips and maintain usability. Our machines are equipped with vacuum systems that extract excess water, leaving the surface dry and ready for immediate use. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that operate around the clock, as it minimises downtime.
In warehouses, rapid drying reduces the risk of accidents caused by slippery floors, while in carparks, it allows vehicles to resume parking without delay. Our approach combines efficiency with safety, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our clients.
-
Conducting a final inspection
Once the cleaning process is complete, our team performs a thorough inspection to ensure that every inch of the space meets our high standards. We look for any missed spots or areas that may need additional attention. This final step reflects our commitment to delivering impeccable results every time.
Feedback is an integral part of our service. If there are specific areas you’d like us to address further, we’re always ready to accommodate your requests. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we strive to exceed your expectations.
