How is cleanliness affecting your business?
Running a warehouse or large storage facility is a big job. You are responsible for storing and retrieving goods securely and efficiently, complying with environmental and workplace regulations, whilst keeping your workers safe. And of course, you need to keep costs low and customers happy.
Cleaning plays a huge role. And we can help. We have equipment for cleaning almost every area of your facility – from large holding areas and narrow aisles to loading docks and hard-to-reach shelves. All of our machines are backed by a network of service pros and technical experts who can lend a hand and guide you to the solutions that are right for you.
Warehouses have many cleaning challenges
Loading docks & shipping areas
Large warehouses are prone to slippery surfaces and debris buildup, resulting in safety hazards and inefficiencies due to inadequate cleaning processes.
Nilfisk experts suggest: Use high-performance scrubbers and sweepers to clean critical areas thoroughly and reduce downtime. Powerful vacuums eliminate dust and debris, creating a safer and more efficient workspace.
Aisles and order fulfillment areas
Large warehouses often suffer from insufficient cleaning, leading to safety risks and interruptions in operations.
Nilfisk experts suggest: Robotic cleaners and scrubbers boost cleaning efficiency with minimal disruption. Pairing them with high dusting kits and vacuums ensures effective dust and debris removal from hard-to-reach areas, keeping the workspace clean and safe.
Bundling and packaging areas
Warehouses and distribution centres often face material spills, dust, and airborne particles in bundling and packaging areas, creating fire hazards and respiratory risks. Poor cleaning protocols increase these safety concerns and lower operational efficiency.
Nilfisk experts suggest: High-performance scrubbers and vacuums efficiently clean spaces while minimising downtime by capturing fine debris and packaging scraps, maintaining cleanliness.
Fresh food storage areas
These areas face moisture buildup, spills, bacteria growth, and airborne contaminants, which can compromise food safety and quality. Inadequate cleaning and pest issues pose further hygiene concerns, risking regulatory violations and operational disruptions.
Nilfisk experts suggest: Advanced scrubbers and HEPA-filtered vacuums for fresh food storage tackle moisture and contaminants, reducing cross-contamination and ensuring compliance with hygiene regulations, protecting both food and worker safety.
Cold Storage: food and non-food
Cold storage facilities must maintain high hygiene standards to ensure product safety. Challenges include moisture, temperature fluctuations, and contamination from airborne particles, all of which threaten product quality and operational efficiency.
Nilfisk experts suggest: In low-temperature environments, high-performance scrubbers and vacuums effectively remove moisture, debris, and food residues while meeting hygiene standards and regulations.
Raw materials warehouses
Raw materials warehouses face contamination from airborne particles and moisture, endangering product quality. Strict regulatory demands make maintaining cleanliness and hygiene essential for operational efficiency and safety.
Nilfisk experts suggest: Specialised scrubbers and HEPA-filtered vacuums eliminate moisture and contaminants in regulated settings, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring compliance with hygiene standards to protect raw materials and worker safety.
