An industrial environment often requires some more heavy duty cleaning procedures, to deal with tough grime and high hygiene standard. This often means more scrubbing, more often, but can also be aided with some industrial grade cleaning supplies. Detergents and tools made specifically for industrial applications are much better at getting rid of unsanitary germs and mess. It is important, however, to choose the right industrial cleaning supplies, to ensure that your maintenance routine is environmentally friendly, budget friendly, and above all, safe and hygienic.

First of all, you need to stock up on the industrial and domestic basics, such as buckets, brooms, gloves, sponges and mops. Cleaning supplies such as these are needed for just about every industrial maintenance situation. For large areas, choose heavy duty and oversized items, such as extra wide mops and brooms, to make every maintenance session go faster. It should be easy to find cost effective, good quality maintenance equipment basics to use in your industrial area.

As well as your consumable and equipment purchases, you need a place to store all of your brooms, brushes, sponges and bottles. To create a supremely organised industrial space, invest in some storage containers, baskets and hooks to store all of your cleaning supplies. It is important to keep the items used daily close at hand, while other, more toxic formulations should be stored away safely. Consider purchasing a trolley basket on wheels to make carrying your cleaning supplies around easy.

Most surfaces used in industrial areas have been chosen because they are easy to maintain and are resistant to stains, but that doesn’t mean you are in the clear when it comes to maintaining the “as new” look. For deep cleans, it is necessary to buy heavy duty cleaning supplies such as bleaches and disinfectants, to keep your industrial surfaces not only looking great, but also completely hygienic. To cut down on the time spent maintaining hygiene, try to organise your furniture and equipment to minimise dust and grime collections. Choose objects with smooth surfaces and minimal joins and try to keep all heavy items and soft furnishings off the floor.

For high powered maintenance of your industrial area, you will need something more than the standard domestic products. Consider purchasing a powerful vacuum to speed up floor maintenance in your restaurant or factory. Although the higher quality vacuums are very expensive, they are well worth the expense as they are capable of picking up heavy, cumbersome mess as well as finer dust, hair and crumbs.
