Maintaining factory cleanliness is critical for business operations. Grease stains, discarded tools, and grime all create hazards for employees. While keeping an industrial facility clean may seem overwhelming, there are methods that help jumpstart the cleaning process. Here are some effective cleaning tips to enhance your warehouse working environment.
Why You Need a Factory Cleaning Procedure
A clean industrial and manufacturing facility is important for a variety of reasons:
Health
Keeping a warehouse clean keeps your employees healthy. Contagious workers can rapidly spread germs by touching surfaces throughout your facility. A 2014 study found that bacteria on a doorknob or tabletop spread to nearly 60% of employees within two hours. Sanitizing common areas slows the growth of germs and improves your workers’ health.
Safety
A clean facility is important for employee safety. Floors covered in spilled grease or oil increase the risk of serious accidents. Discarded boxes and unused equipment also create tripping hazards in the workplace. Make sure these hazards are quickly marked and removed to keep your workers safe.
Increased Productivity
A safe warehouse is a productive warehouse. When employees feel protected, they can focus on their jobs and achieve higher productivity levels. Pristine equipment has a positive impact on productivity too. Cleaning equipment removes dust, oil, and debris that can lower a machine’s efficiency. Maintaining a clean working environment boosts productivity throughout your facility.

A Facility Cleaning Procedure Checklist
Are you thinking of implementing a regular cleaning schedule in your warehouse but aren’t sure where to start? Here are some areas that every manager should make sure are properly and consistently cleaned:
Machinery
Equipment upkeep improves employee safety and increases your machines’ longevity. Your cleaning procedure should include lubricating parts, wiping down surfaces, and drying moisture to prevent rust and mold growth.
Production Surfaces
Production surfaces easily become coated with oil, chemicals, and other contaminants. Removing these substances prevents them from congealing and impacting product quality. Make sure your employees regularly wipe down these surfaces to keep your facility spotless and your production quality high.
Production Floor
Debris and leaks create tripping and slipping hazards for employees. Plant managers should make sure that floor areas always remain clear of unnecessary objects and that any spills are clearly marked and quickly cleaned. Daily sweeping and mopping keep your employees safe.
Food Prep Areas and Restrooms
Sanitizing food prep areas and restrooms prevents the spread of contagious bacteria. Make sure employees are washing their hands before and after eating and using the bathroom. Regular cleaning of these areas also provides peace of mind that any lingering germs are removed.
