What is Industrial Cleaning?

23 August 2022

Industrial cleaning is a very particular type of process. It usually involves industrial premises and facilities, and can require heavy-duty equipment. Experience and expertise is necessary when it comes to industrial cleaning, whether that’s a one-off, specialist cleaning application, or regular Sydney industrial cleaning.

What does industrial cleaning involve?

Industrial cleaning can involve a very wide range of cleaning applications. Most commonly, this can include: 

  • Sweeping and scrubbing
  • Pressure washing
  • Large scale window cleaning
  • Miscellaneous floor cleaning of materials like vinyl
  • Stripping back floors and walls
  • Dealing with hazardous chemicals and substances
  • Industrial waste removal.

And much more!

As you can see, most of these examples require certain equipment, along with training and experience. This is why it’s critical to hire a professional Sydney industrial cleaning company, when you require these services.

Where does industrial cleaning take place?

Industrial cleaning tends to be required in settings such as:

  • Warehouse
  • Factories
  • Manufacturing plants
  • Carparks
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturers.

These facilities tend to require more heavy-duty cleaning, thanks to the stains and spills that may well take place. Buildings like these also tend to be quite large, meaning a very wide space to clean. That makes industrial cleaning more time-consuming, especially if you try to handle it yourself.

Sydney industrial cleaning experts will be equipped with the right machinery and tools for the job. At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we use cutting-edge sweep and scrub machines for warehouse and factory cleaning in Sydney. These allow us to clean large spaces swiftly and thoroughly, delivering an exceptional result every time. And we can do that all without needing to use harmful or harsh chemicals! 

How does industrial cleaning differ from commercial cleaning?

Industrial cleaning and commercial cleaning are quite different from one another. 

Industrial cleaning involves cleaning more hazardous environments than commercial cleaning, and requires more heavy-duty equipment. Industrial areas are obviously much different from offices and business premises, and the floor finishes (among other elements) that we deal with differ greatly.

On the other hand, commercial cleaning involves more floor cleaning for interiors, common area cleaning, steam cleaning, window cleaning, and much more. These processes don’t require heavy-duty equipment, meaning they are much less involved than industrial cleaning applications.

Health and safety

We take health and safety very seriously when it comes to industrial cleaning. Heavy-duty cleaning applications can be fraught with danger because we utilise ride-on sweep and scrub machines, pressure washers, and other equipment that requires knowledge and training. Without experience, injuries are waiting to happen.

Our employees are highly-trained in the use of these heavy-duty cleaning apparatus, understanding exactly how to use them effectively, and most importantly, safely. We also ensure that our people are always equipped with the right personal protective equipment (PPE), such as:

  • Boots
  • Gloves
  • Eye protection
  • Heavy clothing
  • Headgear
  • Respirators
  • Ear protection
  • High visibility clothing…

And much, much more!

This PPE allows our workers to complete Sydney industrial cleaning projects in the safest manner possible, minimising any chance of injury while at work. 

Warehouse cleaning

At Sydney Sweep and Scrub, we’re experts in warehouse cleaning in Sydney. We work with clients all over the city to provide exceptional industrial cleaning services, leaving countless warehouses sparkling clean. We utilise our expertise and equipment to get the job done, ensuring your workplace is clean, functional and safe.

If you’re looking for the best warehouse cleaning in Sydney, we’re ready to help. A clean warehouse will instil pride in your people, and ensure that everyone can do their jobs without an unkempt, dirty or messy workplace affecting their productivity. 

Health and safety is critical in warehouses and factories, primarily because there are more hazards present in these areas than in other workplaces. A lack of cleaning can increase the likelihood of accident, because spills and stains can cause your workers to slip and fall, which is one of the most common injuries at work.

Create a more productive and safe workplace with professional Sydney warehouse cleaning.

Carpark cleaning

Sydney carparks are inevitably subject to all sorts of dust, dirt and grime. It’s simply the nature of these facilities. However, an unclean carpark can have a serious impact on the success of your business… because no one wants to leave their vehicle in an unclean, unprofessional-looking parking lot.

Regular Sydney carpark cleaning is one type of industrial cleaning, which promotes better business, longevity for your facility and a more professional reputation. We utilise our sweep and scrub machines to thoroughly clean concrete floors, and pressure washers to take care of grime and other contaminants on walls and ceilings.

If you need carpark cleaning in Sydney, we’ve got you covered.
