Disinfection and sanitation of factories according to CDC guidelines

Common disinfecting solutions that are used are hydrochloric acids, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, and alcohol. Commercial Janitorial staff is equipped and trained to disinfect interiors according to CDC guidelines and using CDC and EPA approved disinfecting solutions.
Maintaining OSHA standards of hygiene and sanitation in factories
Commercial Janitorial staff work to maintain and meet standards of hygiene and sanitation according to leaders in the cleaning field, such as ISSA cleaning standards. Daily and one-time cleaning by Commercial Janitorial staff will result in having working conditions in your factory which meet or exceed OSHA standards
Pressurized power washing
Commercial Janitorial may use pressurized power washing to clean ingrained dirt and grime from surfaces and machinery. Water is sprayed at great pressure, which dislodges the dirt. Pressure may be adjusted according to the surface material, which is to be cleaned. This cleaning method may also be used to clean parking lots and exterior cladding of a factory.
Media blasting
More tough stains, rust, varnish, or layers of peeling paint may be removed with the help of abrasive media blasting. The media used may be sand, soda, or dry ice and are chosen according to the stains or dirt which has to be cleaned. The abrasive material is sprayed at great pressure to dislodge even the toughest stains and grime.
Grease removal
Grease may be removed with the help of a degreasing cleaning agent which contains Butyl. This has an effective degreasing action and cuts through oily substances. Grease may also be removed by steam cleaning. Ingrained and tough grease stains can be stripped clean by abrasive cleaning methods.
Office and restroom cleaning
Offices are vacuumed daily. Carpets and upholstery may be steam cleaned. Frequently touched surfaces may be wiped down with disinfectants to prevent the spread of infection. Waste bins are emptied, and waste is disposed of responsibly. Restrooms are mopped, and fittings are wiped down. Fixtures such as urinals and toilets are washed with hydrochloric acid or hydrogen peroxide solution. Windows are washed with a chamois that dislodges dirt and a scrim, which buffs the surface of the window panes. Window tracks are cleaned out, and window machinery is oiled.
HVAC systems, Floor care and Mold remediation
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems and their ducts and vents are cleaned to prevent deterioration in the air quality of the factory. Floors are periodically honed, buffed, polished, and sealed to protect them from daily wear and tear in a factory. Stains on stone floors may be cleaned by sand blasting, while any signs of efflorescence may also be treated by media blasting techniques. Any mold is remediated with the help of a biocide and encapsulation method.

Clean Rooms
Pharmaceutical and industrial clean rooms require specialized techniques for gowning, vacuuming, mopping, and cleaning. Our industrial cleaning crews are trained for Class 1 to Class 100,000 clean rooms. Because the clean room is a controlled environment where products are manufactured. It is important that concentration of airborne particles is controlled to specified limits. Eliminating sub-micron airborne contamination is really a process of control, and our cleaning techniques can mitigate these particles. The specific contaminants generated by people, process, facilities and equipment can be removed from surfaces so they don't need to be removed from the air. We can adjust cleaning techniques to the level to which these particles need to be removed and the standards required. The most frequently used standard is the Federal Standard 209E. The 209E is a document that establishes standard classes of air cleanliness for airborne particulate levels in clean rooms and clean zones. Strict rules and procedures are followed to prevent contamination of the product during cleaning.
Industrial air flow rates and direction, pressurization, temperature, humidity and specialized filtration can be tightly controlled during cleaning. And the sources of these particles need to controlled or eliminated whenever possible during the surface cleaning. Contact us if you have an electronics clean room, pharmaceutical clean room, bio-pharmaceutical clean room, medical device industry clean room or any other critical manufacturing clean room environments.
