What is Industrial Cleaning?

In short, industrial cleaning involves the use of specialist equipment and machinery to achieve a deep, thorough clean. If carried out regularly, this process can maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of an area, helping to ensure it meets the appropriate health and safety regulations, as well as providing pleasant conditions for employees to work in. Aside from using specialist equipment, specific cleaning products such as chemicals, solvents and agents, are likely to be used during the process. A specific method and technique may also be used depending on the type of clean that’s needed. The specialists carrying out the work will be able to determine exactly what is required to achieve the best results.

What Is Commercial Cleaning?

Simply put, commercial cleaning uses specialist equipment to clean premises open to the public. Commercial cleaners typically specialise in removing dirt and grime inside public spaces, businesses, and other workplaces such as: Offices Retail units, independent stores, and shopping centres Kitchens, cafes, bars, and restaurants Hotels and spas Car showrooms Doctors’ surgeries and dental practices Leisure centres, cinemas, and gyms Schools, universities, and other educational establishments Overall, commercial cleaning contractors are hired, often on a contract or ad hoc basis, by all types of businesses to clean a whole host of different property types.

What methods are used during an industrial deep clean?

There are a variety of methods used during the industrial deep cleaning process, which are typically determined by the type surface and location that needs cleaning. These include:

HEPA Filter Dust Removal

A HEPA filter is a specific type of high-quality air filter that meets the HEPA filter standard, which is to remove at least 99.97% of particles from the air down to at least 0.3 microns in size such as dust, pollutants, pollen and smoke particles.

Battery Operated Scrubber Dryers

Scrubber-Dryers are a combination of a floor sweeper, a floor scrubber and a vacuum. This handy piece of equipment features rotating brushes that work to remove dirt, but it also uses water and cleaning fluids for a deeper clean. After applying the water and cleaning fluids, the brushes rotate and put pressure on the surface to help dislodge and remove grime as it moves around. Finally, the liquid is removed from the surface, leaving it dry.

Steam Technology

Steam cleaning technology uses hot steam at high pressures to clean hard to remove grime and sanitise areas.

Steam cleaning technology is often used in the healthcare and food industries, where sanitising and deep cleaning are of paramount importance.

Dry Ice Technology

Dry ice cleaning / blasting is a technology that propels carbon dioxide particles (dry ice) in a pressurised stream at high speed, which is then directed at a surface in order to clean it.

Dry ice blasting is often used to clean areas that need to maintain a low temperature, such as refrigeration warehouses. Dry ice replaces the use of water and cleaning chemicals that would otherwise freeze or become ineffective in these conditions, meaning the operation can keep running during the cleaning process.
