Overview

Production floors accumulate coolant mist, hydraulic oil, and grinding dust that combine into a slick film in traffic lanes. Removing it takes a degreaser and a machine scrub that lifts the soil and recovers it rather than spreading it.

Conditions

Common floor conditions

Oil and coolant film

Standing oil is spot-treated first, and the floor is then degreased and scrubbed with the dirty water recovered.

Metal fines and grinding dust

Fines are swept and magnet-swept dry where practical, then scrubbed, so they are recovered rather than sent to the floor drain.

Epoxy and urethane coatings

Coated floors are cleaned with a non-scratching pad and chemistry that cuts oil without hazing the coating.

Safety walkways and striping

Pedestrian lanes and striping are returned to full color as part of every scrub.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you clean around equipment that cannot be moved?
Yes. Open lanes are scrubbed by machine, and the area around machine bases, pits, and pallets is finished by hand. Equipment is not moved.
Where does the oily water go?
To the sanitary drain or oil-water separator you designate. Site-specific wastewater rules are confirmed at the walkthrough and followed. Nothing is discharged to a storm drain or outdoors.
Will a degreaser damage an epoxy floor?
The wrong one can. Coated floors are cleaned with chemistry and pads rated for the coating; aggressive brushes and caustic degreasers are never used on them.
Do you clean the whole plant or only the production floor?
Any hard floor in the building, including production, shipping, and the maintenance shop. Offices, restrooms, and break rooms are available as a janitorial add-on for accounts on a floor program.
