Overview

A distribution center floor is used by every forklift, pallet jack, and employee in the building. It picks up rubber transfer in the lanes, grit at the dock doors, and, where the slab is unsealed, a fine dust that settles on product, racking, and air handling equipment.

Conditions

Common floor conditions

Tire marks in the lanes

Rubber transfer builds fastest where forklifts turn and brake; those lanes are treated with a tire-mark cleaner and given extra attention.

Concrete dust

Unsealed slabs shed fines continuously; scrubbing removes the loose dust, and a recurring program keeps it off inventory.

Dock-door grit

Open doors bring in sand, leaves, and rain, so dock aprons receive extra attention on every visit.

Audits and customer visits

Additional visits ahead of an inspection, tour, or inventory count are added at the program rate.

Scope

Scope of a typical program

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the floor be scrubbed around racking without moving inventory?
Yes. Main aisles and cross-aisles are scrubbed by machine, and the strip along the uprights is finished by hand. Product is not moved.
How is a floor that has never been scrubbed handled?
With a baseline deep scrub that takes longer than the visits after it, and with clear expectations about embedded tire marks on unsealed concrete. A maintenance program then holds the floor at the new standard at a lower per-visit price.
Do you scrub food-grade or cold-storage warehouses?
Dry storage and cold-storage anterooms are served as a floor program. Maddox is not a sanitation contractor for USDA or FDA regulated production areas.
What is required from the facility on the night of a scrub?
Access, a water source, a sanitary drain, and clear lanes in the sections agreed on. A supervisor contact number is helpful; a supervisor on site is not required.
