Disinfection following CDC guidelines
Workers and management in factories must be kept safe if supply chains are to continue to function and for the economy to stay in operation. The threat of diseases such as COVID-19, which is spread through droplets, which can last for hours on frequently touched surfaces as well as other viruses and bacteria, has meant disinfection and sanitation is extremely important in factories around the world. Commercial Janitorial offers disinfection and sanitation of workplaces such as manufactories in the Portland area. Disinfecting agents such as alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, hydrochloric acid, and chloride, and others kill the microorganisms, which can cause disease in humans. Commercial Janitorial staff are trained to follow CDC guidelines for disinfection and sanitation. Commercial Janitorial uses CDC and EPA approved disinfecting agents while sanitizing workplaces in the Portland area.
Cleaning according to OSHA standards
OSHA standards for hygiene and sanitation in the workplace are meant to guarantee minimum standards to maintain the health and wellbeing of workers in the workplace. It is important to make sure workers are comfortable and healthy so as to ensure maximum productivity and contentment in the workplace. Commercial Janitorial staff is well versed in OSHA standards and work to meet or exceed them during cleaning, restoration, and maintenance projects in a factory.
Media Blasting
This is an abrasive cleaning method whereby an abrasive material such as sand, soda, or dry ice is sprayed at great pressure onto the surface to be cleaned. The pressure exerted and the material used is adjusted according to the stains and material of the surface. This method can be used to clean machinery in factories where layers of rust, grease, varnish, or paint have to be removed. Surfaces that have suffered efflorescence due to moisture damage may also be cleaned by sand or soda blasting. Those surfaces are then dried with the help of dehumidifiers and air dryers.
Power washing
Parking lots, exterior cladding and siding are just a few of the surfaces which can be cleaned with the help of pressurized power washing. Pressurized power washing dislodges and removes ingrained dirt and leaves floors and surfaces clean.
Grease removal
Commercial Janitorial staff may use a Butyl containing cleaning solution to cut through the oil, grease, motor oil, or other substances which require extensive degreasing.
Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning is used to clean and disinfect many types of surfaces, such as upholstery and carpets. Steam cleaning will kill most microorganisms as well as remove stubborn stains. Steam cleaning may also be used as a means of mol remediation in cases of mild mold contamination.
Mold remediation
Common mold remediation techniques involve the use of a mold killing agent such as a biocide. This is allowed to act on the surface for a day or more. The area undergoing mold remediation will then be encapsulated to prevent any mold spores from escaping and recontaminating the space.
Floor care according to OSHA standards
Floors are vacuumed and dry and wet mopped. Floors are dried after every cleaning and mopped with anti-spill cleaning solutions to make sure that there is less chance of people slipping and falling. Floors that are made of stone or marble tiles will be periodically honed and buffed to prevent any dangerous lippage, which can be a cause of tripping or falling.
Waste management
Commercial Janitorial staff are trained in responsible waste handling and removal. Commercial Janitorial staff wear protective equipment such as gloves and masks and know how to safely dispose of all types of waste produced in a factory setting. If need be Commercial Janitorial can arrange for the rental of a dumpster to dispose of excess amounts of waste produced during a one-time deep cleaning project.

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.
