What is an industrial cleaning service?

Industrial cleaners service a working manufacturing plant or warehouse or distribution center, meaning the facility remains open, safe and operating while they clean. Industrial facilities become dirty from the work being done. Forklift tires grind debris into the floor. Dust accumulates on racking, ledges, beams and light fixtures. Break rooms and restrooms get used by shift after shift. Even offices located within the plant require the same attention as any office.

RCO begins with a walkthrough with your facility or safety manager. We map out where to clean, whether production floors, warehouse aisles and docks or offices, break rooms, locker rooms and restrooms. We learn your policies: protective equipment, sign-in requirements, forklift traffic, restricted areas and lockout procedures. Our crews are trained to work safely while cleaning around production equipment; if something needs to be locked out, your maintenance staff will handle it.

Floors account for the largest task. RCO's floor scrubber will clean large expanses of concrete floors and aisles in a single pass. Dock and outdoor areas can be pressure washed. High dusting eradicates the debris found on ledges, racking and fixtures that would normally settle onto products and floors. Break rooms, locker rooms and restrooms are cleaned according to the schedule your shifts require. In a facility that operates 24/7, this could mean multiple times a day.

When a plant or warehouse has a fire, a flood or a sewage backup, that is restoration work. RCO's sister company RMO Mitigation & Restoration handles it at 248-845-0000, including cleaning industrial equipment after a loss.

How is industrial cleaning different from commercial cleaning?

Industrial cleaning consists of work near production: forklift traffic, shift changes, PPE and lockout procedures, on concrete floors and elevated areas offices typically don't deal with. Office areas, break rooms and restrooms within a plant are cleaned just like any other commercial building, as part of one cleaning program that covers your whole site.

Do you clean production equipment?

Our work is the building: floors, overhead areas, docks, offices, break rooms and restrooms. Equipment requiring lockout remains with your maintenance department. If you want the exterior of specific equipment cleaned, we'll talk through scope and safety measures during the walkthrough.

Will your crews follow our safety rules while the plant is running?

Yes. First we determine your PPE needs, sign-in and sign-out procedures, forklift traffic patterns and no-go zones, and crews adhere to these every visit. Usually they can clean while you operate, working in areas closed off from traffic, scrubbing aisles between shifts and reserving larger projects for overnight, weekends or shutdowns.

How do you reach high areas?

High dusting includes what can be accessed safely using extension tools. Work requiring a lift is addressed at the walkthrough, along with how your site operates when using lifts.

How is industrial cleaning priced?

Based on cleanable square footage, including what areas are cleaned and the frequency of each area. The walkthrough is free. Your quote is provided within 24 hours of the walkthrough.
