What is an industrial building?
Let us begin with a brief explanation of what is meant by an industrial building. An industrial building is a large, spacious property used for the production, storage and distribution of goods. These buildings are designed to house the machinery, equipment and materials required for industrial operations and often include office space and service areas for staff.
Why choose steam cleaning for your industrial buildings?
Cleaning industrial buildings is a complex challenge due to the presence of stubborn dirt, grease and various residues. A highly effective solution is steam cleaning, an innovative method that combines efficiency and sustainability. STI Steam Industry is a leader in this field, offering advanced solutions to ensure a clean and safe working environment.
Cleaning of industrial buildings: what are the benefits?
- Reduced occupational hazards: Maintaining a clean industrial facility is critical to workers’ safety. Removing dirt, oil and debris reduces the risk of accidents, such as slips and falls, and prevents the accumulation of dust and potentially harmful substances that could affect workers’ health.
- Increased productivity and reduced maintenance costs: A clean and well-organised environment enables regular cleaning of machinery and equipment, ensuring its proper functioning and reducing downtime due to unscheduled maintenance, thereby reducing maintenance costs. In addition, a tidy warehouse optimises production processes by facilitating the movement of goods and people.
- High-Quality products: the cleaning of industrial facilities has a direct impact on the quality of products, as a contaminant-free environment reduces the risk of production defects and ensures that finished products meet quality standards. This is particularly true in the food industries and packaging industries, as well as in the chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
- Improved brand reputation: A clean industrial building reflects a positive corporate image, as care for the working environment demonstrates the company’s commitment to quality and safety, enhancing its reputation with customers, suppliers and business partners.
How to clean industrial buildings with a steam cleaner from STI Steam Industry
The use of steam for cleaning industrial buildings requires the use of specific equipment and products in order to guarantee optimum results. STI Steam Industry offers a range of industrial steam cleaners in its catalogue, designed to address the particular needs of each environment.
Important areas to clean when sanitising an industrial building
- Machine cleaning: It is essential to clean industrial machinery in order to maintain its efficiency and longevity. STI Steam Industry steam cleaners are designed to reach even the most intricate parts of machinery, removing dirt and contaminants without damaging delicate components.
- Production and processing areas: Production and processing areas are the heart of the industrial building and require frequent cleaning to ensure a safe and productive working environment. Steam is ideal for removing production residues, grease and other contaminants to ensure that equipment operates optimally.
- Warehouses and storage areas: Warehouses and storage areas must be kept clean to avoid contamination of goods and to ensure efficient inventory management. Steam cleaning is effective in removing accumulated dust and dirt, keeping goods in perfect condition at all times.
- Offices and staff rooms: Offices and staff rooms also require attention. Keeping these environments clean and hygienic is critical to the well-being of employees. Steam is an excellent method of sanitising surfaces and furniture, creating a healthy and welcoming working environment.
- Common areas and toilets: Common areas and toilets are some of the busiest areas and require thorough cleaning to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. Steam cleaning ensures deep sanitisation, keeping these areas safe and comfortable for all employees.
- Vertical surfaces and ceilings: Vertical surfaces and ceilings can accumulate dust and dirt over time. Steam cleaning makes it possible to reach even the most difficult areas, ensuring complete sanitisation of the entire industrial building. This not only improves the appearance of the hall, but also contributes to a healthier working environment.
How often should industrial buildings be cleaned?
The frequency of cleaning of an industrial building depends very much on the activities carried out, the type of dirt accumulated and the safety and hygiene regulations of the sector in which it operates. In general, it is recommended to carry out a thorough cleaning at least once a month, with weekly interventions in the most critical areas.
Steps in the steam-cleaning process
Before cleaning an industrial building, it is essential to prepare the area properly. This includes removing unnecessary materials, protecting sensitive areas and checking equipment. Good preparation will make the cleaning process more efficient, safer and smoother.
The actual industrial sanitisation phase involves the use of steam machines on all relevant surfaces. Steam must be applied with precision and accuracy to remove dirt, grease and contaminants from machinery, glass and vertical surfaces.
At the end of the industrial building cleaning process it is essential to ensure that all surfaces are completely dry, although dry saturated steam will naturally speed up the drying time and reduce the need for further work. Once dry, surfaces can be finished to ensure a pristine appearance and lasting protection.
