Floor Cleaning for Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities

Coolant and oil film, metal fines, and grinding dust come off bare and coated concrete when Maddox degreases and machine-scrubs a shop floor. The work covers manufacturing and industrial facilities across Greater Houston, from machine shops and fabricators to assembly plants and maintenance shops, and is done between shifts or over a weekend.

Overview

Production floors accumulate coolant mist, hydraulic oil, and grinding dust that combine into a slick film in traffic lanes. A degreaser and a machine scrub lift that film off the floor and recover it with the dirty water.

Conditions

Common floor conditions

Oil and coolant film

The surface film lifts with the scrub, and oil that has soaked into bare concrete lightens substantially.

Metal fines and grinding dust

Fines are swept up dry where practical before the floor is scrubbed.

Epoxy and urethane coatings

Epoxy and urethane floors come up clean of oil, with no haze left on the coating.

Safety walkways and striping

On every visit, pedestrian lanes and striping are scrubbed free of the grime that hides them. Worn striping is noted for the facility.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you clean around equipment that cannot be moved?
Yes. Open lanes are scrubbed by machine, and the floor around machine bases, pits, and pallets is finished by hand.
Will a degreaser damage an epoxy floor?
No. Coated floors are cleaned with chemistry rated for the coating, which cuts oil without scratching or dulling the finish.
Do you clean the whole plant or only the production floor?
Any hard floor in the building is cleaned, including production, shipping, and the maintenance shop. Offices, restrooms, and break rooms are available as a janitorial add-on for accounts on a floor program.
