Floor Cleaning for Distribution Centers & 3PL Warehouses

Maddox machine-scrubs the forklift lanes, dock aprons, staging areas, and racked aisles of distribution centers, 3PL warehouses, and fulfillment centers across Greater Houston, as one-time deep cleans or standing programs. Work is scheduled nights, weekends, and between shifts so the floor is dry before operations resume.

Overview

A distribution center floor picks up rubber transfer in the lanes, grit at the dock doors, and, where the slab is unsealed, a fine dust that settles on product, racking, and air handling equipment.

Conditions

Common floor conditions

Tire marks in the lanes

Rubber transfer builds fastest where forklifts turn and brake; those lanes are treated with a tire-mark cleaner.

Concrete dust

Unsealed slabs shed fines continuously; scrubbing removes the loose dust, and a recurring program keeps it off inventory.

Dock-door grit

Open doors bring in sand, leaves, and rain, so dock aprons are scrubbed more heavily on every visit.

Audits and customer visits

Additional visits ahead of an inspection, tour, or inventory count are added at the program rate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the floor be scrubbed around racking without moving inventory?
Yes. The main aisles and cross-aisles are machine-scrubbed and the strip along the uprights is finished by hand, so inventory stays in the racks.
How is a floor that has never been scrubbed handled?
It starts with a baseline deep scrub, quoted separately. A maintenance program then holds the floor at the new standard at a lower per-visit price.
Do you scrub food-grade or cold-storage warehouses?
Yes. Dry storage areas and cold-storage anterooms are cleaned on a floor program; Maddox is not a sanitation contractor for USDA or FDA regulated production areas.
What is required from the facility on the night of a scrub?
The facility provides access, a water source, and clear lanes in the sections agreed on. A supervisor contact number is helpful, and a supervisor on site is not required.
