Industrial Cleaning for Warehouses & Distribution Centers
Comprehensive dust and debris removal services for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and industrial properties throughout Dallas-Fort Worth. Our specialized equipment and trained teams handle high dusting, debris cleanup, and detailed cleaning to maintain safe, efficient operations and OSHA-compliant work environments.
Service Features
High Dusting & Rafter Cleaning
Dust accumulation on ceiling structures, rafters, beams, conduit, and HVAC ductwork creates fire hazards and compromises air quality. Our specialized lift equipment and high-reach tools safely remove dust from elevations up to 40+ feet, addressing areas that routine cleaning cannot reach and reducing fire load in your facility.
Floor Sweeping & Debris Removal
Industrial floor sweepers and scrubbers efficiently clean large warehouse areas, removing dust, dirt, packaging debris, and production residue. Our equipment handles both smooth concrete and rough industrial floors, collecting debris for proper disposal and leaving floors clean and safe for forklift and foot traffic.
Rack & Shelving Cleaning
Storage racks, shelving units, and mezzanines accumulate significant dust that contaminates inventory and creates housekeeping issues. We clean these structures from top to bottom, removing dust and debris while working around your stored products. This service protects inventory quality and maintains organized appearance.
Loading Dock Cleaning
Loading docks face heavy soiling from truck traffic, weather exposure, and material handling. We clean dock plates, levelers, pits, doors, and surrounding areas to remove grease, dirt, and debris. Clean docks improve safety, reduce equipment maintenance, and create positive impressions for visiting drivers and customers.
Office & Break Room Maintenance
Warehouse administrative areas, break rooms, and restrooms require the same attention as the industrial areas. We provide complete cleaning services for these spaces including dusting, floor care, restroom sanitation, and kitchen cleaning. This ensures consistent standards throughout your entire facility.
Industrial Vacuum Services
High-powered industrial vacuums with HEPA filtration remove fine dust from floors, walls, equipment, and hard-to-reach areas. Specialized attachments access tight spaces around machinery and infrastructure. HEPA filtration captures respirable dust particles, improving air quality and protecting worker health.
Benefits of Warehouse Cleaning
Improved Workplace Safety
Accumulated dust creates slip hazards, respiratory risks, and fire dangers. Combustible dust is a leading cause of industrial fires and explosions. Professional cleaning removes these hazards, creating safer conditions for employees and reducing accident risks that lead to injuries, workers compensation claims, and regulatory citations.
Enhanced Equipment Performance & Life
Dust infiltration damages motors, controls, and mechanical components of warehouse equipment including forklifts, conveyor systems, and HVAC units. Regular cleaning reduces contamination that causes premature equipment failure and costly repairs. Clean environments support optimal equipment performance and extended service life.
Better Product Quality Protection
Dust settling on stored inventory can damage products, contaminate packaging, and create quality issues that lead to customer complaints or returns. This is particularly critical for food products, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. Regular cleaning protects inventory investment and maintains product integrity.
OSHA Compliance Support
OSHA housekeeping standards (29 CFR 1910.22) require clean, orderly, and sanitary workplaces. Poor housekeeping is among the most frequently cited OSHA violations. Professional cleaning services help maintain compliance with these requirements, reducing citation risk during inspections and supporting overall safety program effectiveness.
Increased Operational Efficiency
Clean, organized warehouses operate more efficiently. Clear aisles and clean floors support faster material movement and reduce forklift maneuvering time. Organized rack systems improve inventory access and picking productivity. Employees work more effectively in clean environments with fewer distractions from housekeeping issues.
Pest Prevention
Dust, debris, and food residue attract pests including rodents and insects that create contamination risks and potential regulatory issues. Professional cleaning removes attractants and harborage areas, supporting integrated pest management programs and reducing infestation risks that can disrupt operations and damage reputation.
Our Warehouse Cleaning Process
Facility Assessment & Planning
We evaluate your warehouse layout, operations, dust sources, and cleaning requirements. This includes identifying high-priority areas, determining appropriate equipment needs, and scheduling service to minimize operational disruption. We develop a cleaning plan tailored to your facility's specific conditions and priorities.
Safety Preparation & Setup
Our team establishes safety zones, posts warnings, and ensures proper ventilation before beginning work. Personal protective equipment including respirators, safety glasses, and protective clothing is donned. Equipment is inspected and positioned for safe operation in your industrial environment.
High Dusting & Overhead Cleaning
Using scissor lifts, boom lifts, extension poles, and specialized tools, we systematically clean ceiling structures, lighting, ductwork, and infrastructure from top to bottom. Dust is captured rather than dispersed using vacuum attachments and damp wiping methods. This top-down approach prevents recontamination of cleaned lower areas.
Rack & Storage Area Cleaning
Storage racks, shelving, and mezzanines are cleaned using vacuums, blowers, and wiping methods appropriate for the specific environment. We work carefully around stored inventory to avoid damage while removing dust accumulation. Product is protected during cleaning and returned to organized arrangement.
Floor Cleaning & Debris Removal
Industrial sweepers and scrubbers clean floor surfaces, collecting dust and debris for proper disposal. Heavy debris, packaging materials, and production waste are removed. Specialized equipment handles different floor types from smooth concrete to rough industrial surfaces. Edges, corners, and around equipment receive detailed attention.
Detail Cleaning & Final Inspection
Areas around machinery, loading docks, and facility perimeter receive detailed cleaning. We inspect the completed work to ensure all specified areas meet standards. Debris is properly disposed of according to waste regulations. The facility is returned to operational condition with improved cleanliness and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should warehouses be professionally cleaned?
Frequency depends on facility type, operations, and environmental factors. High-volume distribution centers and manufacturing facilities often benefit from quarterly high dusting and monthly floor maintenance. Food warehouses and pharmaceutical facilities may require more frequent service for compliance. We assess your dust accumulation rate, operational needs, and regulatory requirements to recommend an appropriate cleaning schedule that maintains standards cost-effectively.
Can you clean while we continue operations?
Yes, we specialize in working within active warehouse environments. We coordinate with your operations team to clean in sections, work during off-shifts, or schedule around peak activity periods. Safety protocols ensure our work does not interfere with forklift traffic or employee activities. For high dusting and overhead work, we may need to temporarily restrict areas directly below for safety. We develop detailed plans that balance cleaning effectiveness with minimal operational impact.
Do you handle hazardous dust or materials?
We are equipped to handle many industrial dust types including general warehouse dust, food dust, and light manufacturing residue. For hazardous materials including silica, asbestos, lead, or chemical dusts, we evaluate the specific situation and may recommend specialized remediation contractors with appropriate certifications and equipment. Safety is paramount - we do not undertake work involving known hazardous materials without proper training, equipment, and regulatory compliance.
What equipment do you use for warehouse cleaning?
Our warehouse cleaning equipment includes industrial-grade ride-on sweepers for large floor areas, walk-behind scrubbers for detailed cleaning, high-reach lifts for overhead work, HEPA-filtered vacuums for dust collection, backpack vacuums for detail work, and specialized tools for rack and equipment cleaning. This equipment is selected for effectiveness in industrial environments and sized appropriately for different facility scales. All equipment is maintained for reliable performance and safe operation.
Can you help with OSHA compliance for housekeeping?
Yes, our services directly support OSHA housekeeping compliance under 29 CFR 1910.22, which requires clean and orderly workplaces. We can develop cleaning schedules and scopes that address specific compliance concerns, document services performed, and help demonstrate good faith efforts to maintain safe conditions. While professional cleaning is an important component, ultimate compliance responsibility remains with the employer, and our services are most effective when combined with your internal housekeeping practices.
What about cleaning around our inventory and equipment?
We understand that your inventory and equipment represent significant investments and operational necessities. Our technicians are trained to work carefully around stored products, machinery, and racking without causing damage or disruption. We can clean around stationary inventory or coordinate with your team to temporarily relocate items where necessary. For sensitive equipment, we use appropriate methods that clean effectively without risking damage to mechanical or electrical components. Your operations team can identify any special handling requirements during our initial assessment.
