How to keep your industrial buildings clean

Handy tips for maintaining a clean factory or plant

Whether you’re a food manufacturing factory or a large storage and distribution centre, keeping areas hygienic is crucial.

We’ve put together handy tips on what to include in your manufacturing and engineering plant cleaning schedule and the benefits of using a commercial cleaner who specialises in industrial buildings.

Benefits of keeping a sanitised industrial building

– Protecting the health and safety of your workplace

Avoiding staff illnesses or injuries is vital to your business as a whole.

Helping protect your workers drives employee loyalty to the business, manages staff absences and also reduces company turnover of workers.

– Meeting your legal obligations from a customer perspective

Regardless of your industry, there are safety requirements set in place for industrial buildings which must be met.

– Reducing fire risks in your factory building

Any debris, dirt or clutter hanging around your commercial property can be a fire hazard. This is why regular commercial cleaning to a high standard is vital.

– Improve the efficiency of your employees

Keeping a clean and decluttered industrial environment also allows your employees to be able to carry their duties out without worrying about tripping hazards.

– Lengthen the life of machinery and equipment

If factory equipment is not cleaned regularly, it can build up with dirt, grime and dust which eventually leads to the machine breaking.

7. Consider who should shoulder the cleaning responsibility

It’s important that the cleaning is done well by someone who understands how and when cleaning should happen.
