Tell Me More: Industrial cleaning

Industrial cleaning services can clean the facilities of any size or type of business. While they can perform the day-to-day janitorial duties such as vacuuming, sweeping, and trash disposal, they can appoint experienced personnel for the occasional heavy work.

These industrial cleaning services run the gamut from the labor intensive like stripping and waxing tile floors to those that prolong the life of expensive office furniture. These services may take several hours and perhaps days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. This includes:

• Washing exterior windows
• Pressure washing outside of building
• Grouting tiles
• Maintaining heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment
• Stripping and refinishing conference room tables
• Dusting ceilings and light fixtures
• Carpet extracting (dry foam)
• Cleaning parking lots
• "Q-Tip cleaning"

For industrial cleaning, you’ll have to arrange these services well in advance. Cleaners need plenty of time to get the job done without disrupting work areas or employees. Also, some industrial cleaning companies require that you have a contract for the day-to-day services before they will perform special tasks. If you only want a one-time special cleaning, you may have to shop around for cleaning services that won’t require a contract.
