The keys to industrial cleaning

If in previous weeks we talked about the importance of professional industrial cleaning and the use of cleaning machines in work environments on our blog, this time we want to focus on a specific sector. And it is that industrial cleaning is essential for the proper functioning and efficiency of production in this type of business.

Why is industrial cleaning so important?

The industrial sector is broad: Pharmaceutical, fishing, food, textile, metallurgical, automobile… The industrial companies are very varied, and in the same way, there are cleaning products and machinery suitable for the needs of each business.

Choosing the right industrial cleaning company, products, and cleaning plan and applying them ideally is essential to providing health in industrial workspaces.

The advantages of industrial cleaning 

Cleanliness is always important, but in an industrial work environment, it also serves to improve the production process.

In addition, for all the machinery that makes up an industry to always work at maximum performance, proper maintenance is important to prolong its useful life and maximize its productivity. In this maintenance, we cannot forget about cleaning, since it prevents the machines from breaking down or having obstructions.

Regarding workers, industrial cleaning favors their health and improves the work environment. As a result, they will be more productive and feel more comfortable in their workplace.

On the other hand, that industry meets all the hygienic requirements that its products require will improve its brand image.

Different types of industrial cleaning

As we said, depending on the type of industry it is possible to differentiate between different types of industrial cleaning, although the most common are the following:

• Industrial maintenance cleaning
• End of work cleaning
• Industrial Cleaning for factories
• Industrial Cleaning Services for ceilings, walls, and ventilation ducts
• Crystal Cleaning
• Cleaning of offices, waiting rooms, and common areas
• Bathroom cleaning
• waste treatment
• Pest control system and subsequent cleaning
• Cleaning of refrigerators and storage areas
• Pipe cleaning service

Requirements for an effective industrial cleaning service

To carry out cleaning tasks in an industry it is necessary to have specific cleaning machinery, often very expensive. This implies that for its correct use, qualified workers and cleaning products according to each function are available.

The use of most abrasive products should only be used when the dirt is very difficult to remove. Otherwise, the machines or production processes could be affected.

Nor should we forget the safety regulations. Just as in some processes a specific uniform must be used, to carry out curtain cleaning tasks in industry, and adequate clothing must also be provided to protect oneself.

The most effective cleaning techniques in industrial cleaning

At SCS Group Integrated Services we have all the cleaning products and machinery necessary to carry out the following cleaning techniques, in the most efficient and professional way possible. You can find them in our physical and online stores.

Clean with steam or pressurized water

Steam cleaning is used for many industrial cleaning and sanitation tasks. This is done by means of steam at high pressure.  Steam cleaners work with steam that is less dense than the air we breathe.

It is an ideal type of cleaning for closed places without the need for drains. In addition, among its advantages, we highlight that it is a more ecological service that uses less water and does not require chemical products, its effective cleaning, disinfection, and greater hygiene.

On the other hand, the pressurized water cleaning technique is also very effective for cleaning and disinfecting. However, it requires that the space where it is carried out has a drain and that subsequent rinsing and drying be carried out.

Foam Cleaning vs. Sandblasting

Some foams have been specifically designed to reach and clean all the gaps in the machinery in the industry. In this technique, it is enough to apply the product, let it act, and rinse the surface.

Another common cleaning technique is the one that is done with sandblasting. This is especially used to remove traces of smoke and grease from the walls. And it is done by applying sand under pressure to remove the superficial layers of the surface on which it is used.

Besides these techniques, we also highlight the use of more conventional machinery, which has evolved to become the most fundamental type of machinery in most industries:

• sweeping cleaning machines
• scrubbing machines
• industrial vacuum cleaners
