Optimize warehouse floor cleaning with these 10 tips

Cleaning your warehouse is essential for keeping your business on track. Get better cleaning results of your warehouse with these cleaning tips.

  1. Get a cleaning assessment. Facility managers often rely on external help to identify more effective cleaning procedures and to select the right cleaning equipment. Cleaning equipment should be tailored to your needs and is not a one-fits-all solution. Sign up for a free cleaning assessment today.

  2. Keep your warehouse clean. Clean warehouses improve employee safety and confidence, support greater productivity and experience fewer workflow disruptions. So, control the dust in your warehouse, sanitize floors regularly and disinfect surfaces. You would be surprised by how much these factors affect the effectiveness of your warehouse.

  3. Prioritize comfort and accessories. The ergonomics behind any cleaning solution will impact how well your operators can clean. So, prioritize comfort with the right ergonomics. Furthermore, the right accessories will make it easier to tackle specific areas and jobs at your facility.

  4. Prolong your cleaning equipment lifetime. The better operating conditions, the longer equipment lifetime and performance. So, make sure to keep clean, dry, dust-free operating conditions to enhance your cleaning equipment.

  5. Always be compliant! Hygiene and waste-containment regulations are no joke. And ever-changing. Failure to comply can lead to fines and even shutdown. Your cleaning program will have a positive impact on the bottom line, when it’s at its most efficient and effective.

  6. Vacuum regularly. Minimal dust, debris and contaminants in inventory or packaging areas means greater packaging safety and quality of your products.

  7. Disinfect shared vehicles and deep-clean by default. Sanitizing your vehicles will ensure safer packing and delivery. Furthermore, with so many people moving in and out of storage areas, a more detailed cleaning process is a safer bet.

  8. Make your cleaning visible. These days, it pays to show people that your facility’s standard of clean is always being kept where it needs to be. A clean warehouse sends the right message to visitors and employees, demonstrating an internal commitment to professionalism and quality.

  9. Don’t forget the areas outside. Remember a good first impression starts before anyone sets foot in your building. Keeping the areas outside tidy and clean is just as important.

  10. Consider automation. Maintaining a high standard of clean 24/7 is easier if your cleaning equipment can operate without oversight. Find more on our autonomous cleaning solutions here.
