The amount of time needed to clean an industrial space depends on the size of the facility, the level of cleanliness required, and the type of work being done.
Here’s a general breakdown…
Routine Cleaning (Daily or Weekly)
- Time Needed – Around 1 to 3 hours per day for a medium-sized facility.
- Tasks – Sweeping, mopping, wiping down surfaces, and taking out trash. This type of cleaning ensures that high-traffic areas stay clean and safe.
- Frequency – Daily for high-use areas (production floors, restrooms), weekly for less frequently used spaces (storage rooms, break areas).
Deep Cleaning (Monthly or Quarterly)
- Time Needed – Typically 4 to 8 hours depending on the complexity of the space.
- Tasks – Includes removing built-up grease, cleaning machinery, air ducts, and disinfecting areas that aren’t cleaned regularly during daily maintenance.
- Frequency – Done monthly or quarterly, especially in areas prone to heavy dirt or grease buildup.
Specialized Cleaning (High-Risk Areas)
- Time Needed – 8+ hours depending on the size and requirements.
- Tasks – Cleaning high-risk areas like food processing zones or hazardous material zones, often requiring industrial-grade disinfectants and compliance with health regulations.
- Frequency – Weekly, monthly, or after each production run, depending on the industry.
Equipment Cleaning
- Time Needed – Cleaning machinery can take several hours or an entire shift.
- Tasks – Degreasing, washing, lubricating, and disinfecting machines to keep them in good working order.
- Frequency – Typically daily or after each shift, depending on the level of machine use.
The total time for cleaning depends on your facility’s needs. Routine cleaning takes 1 to 3 hours daily, deep cleaning takes 4 to 8 hours monthly, and specialized or equipment cleaning can take several hours to a full shift. A consistent schedule will ensure cleanliness and safety in your industrial space.
