Industrial facilities and factories are busy working environments and the factory floor, specialist machinery, equipment and production lines, can become a breeding ground for dirt, grime and contaminants, which can build up if these areas that do not receive regular cleans. Specialist factory cleaning will help ensure that your employees work and operate machinery in a sanitised and safe environment and we can support you to maintain a high level of hygiene throughout, even when we’re not around.

Increased Productivity

Maintaining an organised working environment will make it easy for your staff to find the equipment and supplies they need, directly increasing productivity. Alongside this, maintaining a clean environment means that your staff are less likely to get ill. This indirectly boosts productivity as your employees appreciating dedicating company time and resources to ensuring their working environment is clean, safe, and efficient. We pride ourselves on providing a high quality and professional service with minimal disruption to your operations. Our commercial cleaners also offer training for your team on using the most suitable industrial factory cleaning products in the long term.

Compliance with Health & Safety Regulations

There are several health & safety regulations connected with factory cleaning to ensure that employers prioritise the safety of their staff at work by maintaining clean and clear workspaces and the factory floor is slip, hazard and obstruction free, whilst ensuring working spaces are of a good standard. Failing to comply with legislation can not only put your employee’s health in danger and damage machinery but can also lead to your business failing checks from the H&S inspector, which could lead to serious financial loss.

Our commercial cleaners recommend making the government guidance part of your regular factory, warehouse and commercial floor cleaning routine to comply with current regulations and ensuring your staff are always safe at work.
