Warehouse cleaning services for Metro Detroit distribution centers
Warehouse cleaning services in Metro Detroit start on the floor, machine scrubbed section by section. Next are the docks, break rooms, restrooms and offices, timed to your shipping schedule. Dust left on the floor gets moved onto product and onto the racking. Southfield-based RCO Cleaning supplies its own industrial-strength scrubber. Call (248) 849-0000 for a free walkthrough.
Free walkthrough & quote248-849-0000A quote within 24 hours of the walkthroughWhat does it take to keep a warehouse clean?
Warehouses are primarily floor. Concrete sheds its own dirt, pallets and cardboard contribute more, and forklift tires create black streaks down every main aisle. Sweeping alone kicks much of that dirt into the air and onto the racks. Machine scrubbing removes it, and our guide to scrubbers, burnishers and extractors reviews the machines.
The weather beats up on docks. Slush, salt and road grime get tracked inside from trailers and trucks in Michigan winter months. Dock floors can remain wet and grimy for months on end. Dock areas require more frequent scrub downs during winter and an outside power wash when the weather cooperates.
People work there, too. Break rooms, restrooms and locker areas serve each shift. Front offices deserve the same attention you give any office. In 24/7 facilities, these areas need to be cleaned more than once daily.
Everything has to work around operations. Crews work in zones, keep machines out of forklift lanes and schedule the main aisles during the slowest periods: overnight, weekends or in between waves.
What does a warehouse need from a cleaning company?
Large floors cleaned on a cycle
Large open areas require machine scrubbing and zoning, rotating which area is completed each night so the whole floor is covered regularly.
Safe work around forklifts
Teams that operate in marked areas, wear the high-visibility apparel your operation specifies and avoid active aisles, following the safety habits every RCO team is trained in.
Cleaning that never stops the dock
Warehouse operations such as receiving and shipping continue around the cleaning crew as they rotate through the zones.
Shared spaces for every shift
Provide clean and stocked break rooms and restrooms for every shift change.

Warehouse cleaning questions
Can you scrub the floor while we're operating?
Yes. By zones. We isolate one zone at a time, keep the scrubber out of active forklift lanes and work the main aisles during the slowest times.
How often should a warehouse floor be scrubbed?
Frequency depends on traffic, dust and storage content. Heavy traffic main aisles and dock areas typically require more frequent cleaning than racked storage aisles. We establish a cycle during the walkthrough and modify it after seeing how the floor performs.
Can you clean a new warehouse before we move in?
Yes. Once a build is completed, whether it be construction, a racking install or a build-out, RCO cleans up the dust and debris, scrubs the floors and cleans the offices and restrooms so it is ready for product and people.
How much does it cost to clean a warehouse?
That depends on the square footage that can be cleaned, how frequently each zone needs to be scrubbed and if there are docks, offices and break rooms also in scope. We do not have a price list: we price each building from a walkthrough and provide a written quote within 24 hours.
