Industrial Cleaning: Is it Time to Clean Your Ceilings?

When con­duct­ing facil­i­ty main­te­nance in your indus­tri­al space, it’s easy to pass over cer­tain areas until there’s a prob­lem. But don’t for­get to look up! Proac­tive, reg­u­lar clean­ing of your ceil­ings is a great invest­ment and can pre­vent more sig­nif­i­cant haz­ards and issues in your workspace.

What to Know About Indus­tri­al Ceil­ing Cleaning

What’s Hid­ing in Your Ceilings?

Aside from con­tribut­ing to poor aes­thet­ics, a dirty indus­tri­al ceil­ing could lead to a lot of issues in your indus­tri­al space. You’re not work­ing in a zero-grav­i­ty zone, so dust, dirt, and oth­er envi­ron­men­tal con­t­a­m­i­nants could fall from your ceil­ing into your del­i­cate equip­ment and dis­rupt your operations.

Depend­ing on your prod­uct and indus­try, even the slight­est air­borne con­t­a­m­i­nant could dis­rupt chem­i­cal or man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es. Con­t­a­m­i­nants could also increase the risk of a fire haz­ard and put undue strain on your HVAC system.

Dust and dirt aren’t the only risks when your fac­to­ry or ware­house ceil­ing hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Mois­ture inter­fer­ence in your ceil­ing could cause addi­tion­al health and safe­ty risks as mold and mildew grow.

Smoke can also get con­cen­trat­ed in cor­ners and oth­er out-of-the-way places on your indus­tri­al ceil­ing. This can lead to dam­age (both seen and unseen) that will cost you time and mon­ey later.

How Clean­ing Pro­fes­sion­als Can Help

If you’re think­ing about clean­ing your ceil­ing, it’s time to get it done. We rec­om­mend sched­ul­ing reg­u­lar indus­tri­al clean­ing and main­te­nance to avoid cost­ly issues caused by mois­ture inter­fer­ence, con­t­a­m­i­na­tion, mold, or mildew eat­ing away at walls and ceil­ings over time.

The more proac­tive you are with reg­u­lar indus­tri­al clean­ing and ongo­ing facil­i­ty main­te­nance, the less like­ly you are to have unfore­seen costs, com­pro­mised prod­uct, halt­ed pro­duc­tion, or employ­ee health and safe­ty issues. Even if it doesn’t look dirty, a reg­u­lar clean­ing can alert you to prob­lems lurk­ing below the sur­face so that you can find a solu­tion faster.

Hir­ing a con­trac­tor with indus­try-spe­cif­ic exper­tise is key. They can tell you how often clean­ings are rec­om­mend­ed based on your field or indus­try. It’s best to check soon­er rather than lat­er, as some indus­tries need their facil­i­ties cleaned as often as once every three months.

Your clean­ing con­trac­tor has the knowl­edge to eval­u­ate your space for the equip­ment, tech­niques, and project scope best suit­ed to your needs. For exam­ple, food and bev­er­age pro­duc­ers may have dif­fer­ent clean­ing priorities/​frequency than a man­u­fac­tur­ing or chem­i­cal engi­neer­ing site.

A Fresh Start for Your Business

Keep­ing your fac­to­ry, ware­house, or indus­tri­al site clean is about more than orga­ni­za­tion and occa­sion­al wipe-downs. It’s a thor­ough process that requires expert atten­tion to detail, analy­sis of prob­lem areas, and plan­ning for ongo­ing upkeep. Your com­pa­ny can have a fresh start through­out the year, depend­ing on your needs. Your prod­ucts and process­es will main­tain greater integrity.

Employ­ees will know that their health and safe­ty are val­ued and that cre­at­ing a clean, invit­ing work envi­ron­ment is a pri­or­i­ty for you. When it comes to solv­ing prob­lems before they arise and main­tain­ing a beau­ti­ful facil­i­ty, take it from the top and keep your ceil­ings clean.
