What is industrial cleaning?

Industrial cleaning removes stubborn dirt from industrial environments. Industrial cleaning refers to the same type of cleaning; both terms refer to specialized cleaning in factories and workshops within the industrial sector.

Industrial environments generate specific types of contamination: grease, oil, chemical residues, metal dust, production waste, and other contaminants. Regular cleaning does not remove this stubborn dirt; industrial cleaning requires different methods. Industrial cleaning uses powerful cleaning agents and advanced equipment such as high-pressure washing and chemical cleaning.

The Difference from Regular Cleaning

Proper industrial cleaning protects equipment and machinery, extends their service life, and keeps production areas hygienic. Thorough industrial cleaning prevents disruptions in production processes, ensures hygiene, and provides a clean work environment. Cleaning in the industrial sector contributes to food safety.

Our 6-Step Process

12B Clean carries out every industrial cleaning job according to a set protocol consisting of six steps that ensure safety, proper planning, and thorough cleaning.

  1. Assess the site. Conduct an on-site assessment, taking into account factors such as area, contaminants, and access.
  2. Analyze the risks. Identify hazardous substances, heights, confined spaces, and explosion hazards.
  3. Plan the implementation. Planning with the right people, equipment, and certifications, tailored to your preferences.
  4. Perform a thorough industrial cleaning. Work in accordance with VCA and HACCP standards, using the selected techniques tailored to your critical processes.
  5. Check the results. Perform a visual inspection and, if necessary, an ATP measurement for cleanrooms and the food industry.

Deliver with a report. Written documentation, together, ensures a verifiable delivery.

How much does industrial cleaning cost?

The cost of industrial cleaning depends on five factors: the size of the production area, the frequency of cleaning, the methods used, the height or whether the space is enclosed, and the industry. Regular cleaning results in lower maintenance costs. An industrial cleaning company with years of experience charges transparently on a per-job or monthly basis.

After an on-site assessment, 12B Clean provides a no-obligation quote for industrial cleaning; we want to ensure there are no surprises later on. If you’re unsure, 12B Clean will perform a free trial service. Our specialists will respond within 24 hours in the event of an emergency.
