What types of industrial cleaning services are there?

Industrial cleaning comes in many different forms. Which service will be most appropriate depends on the size and layout of your space, the time and cost, and if you have the right equipment.

Manual cleaning

This is the simplest and most traditional form of cleaning, using just a brush, mop and some cloth. This means no expensive or complex equipment, but also an increased risk of prolonged exposure to potentially hazardous cleaning chemicals. It is best used in relatively small areas for basic cleans.

Immersion cleaning

Immersion cleaning is how you remove dirt even from objects with strange shapes, awkward corners, or in the case of cylinders, no corners at all. It involves completely submerging the item in the cleaning fluid so that all sides are covered. The exact configuration will vary depending on the nature of the object.

Spray cleaning

A sprayer is a device that emits a high pressure jet of water. This is powerful enough to cover a large area relatively quickly and efficiently. Sprayers can be fixed or mobile, allowing you to reach every surface and corner.

Foam cleaning

Foam cleaning is another way to reach otherwise inaccessible areas, such as inside parts of a machine. The solution is applied to the surface, then left for at least 20 minutes to produce foam. Chemical abrasion allows it to loosen and remove dirt before simply being rinsed away with regular water.

Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasound can be used to clean many types of surface, including plastic and ceramic, as well as metal. It penetrates deep into every otherwise unreachable cavity. A large ultrasonic cleaner, such as those supplied at www.hilsonic.co.uk/, may require generators or transducers.

Sandblasting

Sand is fired at high pressure at the surface to be cleaned, often a machine. Its extremely abrasive nature means it can scour otherwise difficult to treat stains such as sand, smoke or grease.

Knowing about the different types of industrial cleaning service that are available allows you to make a more informed choice about which is best for your particular situation.
