Overview

Warehouse floors collect soil unevenly. Forklift lanes build up rubber transfer, dock doors bring in grit, and unsealed concrete sheds a fine dust that settles on racking and product. Machine scrubbing removes the dust and the grime and leaves the floor dry.

  • Manufacturing and assembly floors

What is included

Photo review or walkthrough

Floors are quoted from a photo, and occupied buildings and heavily soiled floors are walked first. Soil load, tire-mark density, oil, and racked versus open area are confirmed before the scope and quote are written.

Debris removal and dry sweep

Banding, shrink-wrap, pallet fragments, and heavy dust are removed before any water is applied.

Machine scrub

The whole floor is scrubbed, and forklift lanes, turn points, and dock aprons receive extra attention.

Tire-mark treatment

Forklift lanes are treated with a tire-mark cleaner and scrubbed, and remaining marks are treated by hand.

Water recovery

All solution is recovered by the machine as the floor is scrubbed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do warehouse floors need to be professionally cleaned?
Yes. A warehouse floor collects rubber from forklift tires, grit from the dock doors, and, on unsealed concrete, dust that the slab sheds on its own. Sweeping removes loose debris but not the film or the rubber, so the floor is machine-scrubbed on a schedule, from weekly on busy distribution floors to quarterly in light-traffic storage.
How long does it take to scrub a 20,000 sq ft warehouse floor?
A 20,000 sq ft open, sealed floor is a half-day visit, including setup, edge work, and tire-mark treatment. Racked aisles, heavy soil, and slabs that have never been machine-scrubbed are scheduled from the walkthrough, and the quote states the planned duration.
Do we have to shut down operations while the floor is scrubbed?
No. The floor can be scrubbed in sections while you operate, and the scrubbed surface is drivable within minutes. Full-floor deep scrubs are scheduled overnight or on a weekend.
Can forklift tire marks be removed from concrete?
Yes on sealed or polished concrete, where the rubber sits on the surface and comes off with a tire-mark cleaner and a machine scrub. On unsealed concrete, rubber can embed in the pores; those marks lighten substantially, and the walkthrough identifies which condition applies.
How do you keep a warehouse floor from getting dusty?
Scrubbing removes the loose fines that unsealed concrete sheds, and a recurring program keeps dust off racking and product. A densifier or sealer is the long-term fix, and Maddox will recommend it when the slab would benefit.
How much does warehouse floor cleaning cost in Houston?
Warehouse floor cleaning is quoted per job from a $500 minimum. The price depends on square footage, the proportion of open versus racked floor, soil load, whether the floor has been machine-scrubbed before, and the service frequency. Recurring programs are priced below one-time deep scrubs. See pricing for the full list of factors.
Are you insured? Can you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes. Maddox carries $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate in general liability coverage, and a certificate of insurance naming your company or project as additional insured is provided on request.
