Factory cleaning is an application of industrial cleaning that typically involves the cleaning of machinery, specialist equipment and tools using, among other methods, deep cleaning, high pressure and high-level cleaning. CICS Ltd is one of the UK’s leading factory cleaning companies offering a wide range of industrial cleaning services from the degreasing of machinery to high-level cleaning of ductwork, windows and walls.
Factory cleaning service providers are expected to have a high level of knowledge, experience, and fortitude. They must have the right training, tools, and equipment in order to complete the assignment properly. Additionally, there are more risks involved in cleaning a production facility than in cleaning a commercial structure. Absolute priority must be placed on having a thorough grasp.
A modest factory site clean can cost as little as £3000, whereas a large industrial site might cost as much as £30,000. In the end, however, it can be challenging to estimate the cost to clean an industrial site without a site visit, risk assessment, and methodologies statement outlining the precise extent of the job and any risks and hazards involved. The final cost will be influenced by the site’s square footage, the number of workers assigned to the job, the products and chemicals utilised, travel time, and any additional labour costs. We strongly suggest giving us a call to discuss if you’re interested in receiving a precise quotation for an industrial clean. We are better able to assist you if we have more knowledge about your project.
Peripheral facilities of factories are those that are located outside of the main production areas, but are still used in the operation of the factory. These facilities may include administrative offices, break rooms, restrooms, and storage areas. Cleaning these areas is important in order to maintain a healthy and sanitary environment for workers, as well as to present a professional image to clients and visitors.
Cleaning peripheral facilities typically involves tasks such as dusting, sweeping, mopping, and sanitizing surfaces. It may also include cleaning windows, restrooms, and kitchens. Depending on the specific needs of the facility, other tasks such as carpet cleaning, wall washing, and trash removal may also be included.
It is important to establish a regular cleaning schedule for peripheral facilities in order to maintain a clean and organized environment. This may involve daily or weekly cleaning of certain areas, as well as more intensive deep cleaning on a less frequent basis. Hiring a professional cleaning service can help ensure that all necessary tasks are completed efficiently and effectively.
High level factory cleaning refers to the cleaning of hard-to-reach areas of a factory that are typically located at heights, such as rafters, beams, ductwork, and machinery. These areas can accumulate dirt, dust, and other contaminants over time, which can pose a health hazard to workers and reduce the efficiency of equipment.
High level factory cleaning typically involves the use of specialised equipment such as scaffolding, cherry pickers, and pressure washing systems. It is important that workers who perform high level factory cleaning are properly trained and equipped with the necessary safety gear, such as hard hats, fall protection, and protective clothing.
Some of the benefits of high level factory cleaning include improved air quality, reduced risk of accidents and injuries, and longer lifespan of machinery and equipment. It is important to establish a regular schedule for high level cleaning in order to maintain the cleanliness and efficiency of a factory. Hiring a professional cleaning service with experience in high level factory cleaning can help ensure that the job is done safely and effectively.
Production of factory production lines must be cleaned and maintained frequently. Grease, oil, dust, and other contaminants are over time exposed to on factory manufacturing equipment. Cleaning your industrial facilities properly can prevent costly and reputation-damaging consequences. Additionally, it may result in serious dangers to one’s health and safety, contaminated goods, or inadequate working environment.
It takes time, effort, and regular maintenance to keep your production lines clean, but the work is well worth it. To keep your manufacturing plant clean and hygienic, CICS offers both one-time and recurring cleaning services.
We provide a comprehensive thorough cleaning service for commercial kitchens and bakeries. Our cleaning expertise includes a wide range of settings, including industrial bakeries that serve supermarkets, restaurants, and takeaways, as well as cleaning those commercial facilities themselves. To comply with environmental health requirements, high-quality kitchen cleaning is required in every food processing facility or catering firm. Good cleaning practices may help lower the risk of contamination and poisoning.
Note that cleaning industrial ovens and bakeries is a serious undertaking that should be left to specialists. Every project we embark on promises to meet or surpass the highest industry standards of excellence. We utilise eco-friendly, non-toxic, and non-caustic cleaning solutions to remove all traces of burned-on carbon and grease. Cleaning time varies between 1-2 hours for ordinary cookers and ovens and up to 3-4 hours for AGAs.
Oven and bakery equipment we clean include:
Regular cleaning and maintenance of production lines is critical. Over time, factory production gear is exposed to grease, oil, dust, and pollutants. Failing to clean your manufacturing facilities may result in expensive and reputation-damaging effects. It can also lead to significant risks to health and safety, tainted goods, or insufficient working conditions.
Maintaining the cleanliness of your manufacturing lines requires time, effort, and frequent maintenance, but it is well worth the effort. CICS provides both once-off and ongoing cleaning services to keep your manufacturing plant clean and hygienic.
Manufacturers are under great pressure to run their businesses effectively while adhering to government and industry requirements.Germs can live on surfaces for long periods of time increasing the danger of cross-contamination on assembly and manufacturing lines.
If the production line is maintained clean, the risk of defects and breakdowns should be decreased, allowing production to continue uninterrupted. Make every attempt to include cleaning into the production line’s normal services. Your manufacturing line will be subjected to frequent tests as part of the maintenance service contract you have in place to guarantee that it is operating at peak efficiency. As part of this procedure, your factory’s maintenance engineer will be able to detect and report any possible concerns, including those connected to the factory’s degree of cleanliness. Having these contracts in place will benefit you by allowing you to continue producing in addition to your usual cleaning efforts.
Manufacturing and supply industry equipment must run at optimum capacity with little downtime. Even little amounts of downtime may build up. It’s important to take the necessary precautions and clean your equipment and machinery to the highest standards. At CICS we are experts in machine and equipment degreasing.
We always have a pre-planned procedure for cleaning or repairing plant machinery and equipment and provide a full range of industrial equipment cleaning services to the commercial and industrial sectors. After each thorough clean, it’s critical to adopt a preventive maintenance programme to maintain your equipment in good condition and in accordance with industry health and safety laws. This can help you save money in the long term by minimising the chance of accidents and eliminating equipment failures caused by pollution.

In order to safeguard the health and safety of both personnel and the general public, food processing, packaging, and storage facilities must maintain strict hygiene requirements. There is a high risk of cross-contamination in the food processing business due to the prevalence of microbial and fungal outbreaks.
Massive amounts of dust and debris, including dirt and food particles, may accumulate to dangerous levels in flour mills and powder processing facilities. In certain cases, it might be a meat processing plant with listeria or a food packaging company with fungal growth on the assembly line. In order to meet the specific hygienic requirements of each food processing facility and factory, we customise our cleaning procedures.

When it comes to routine cleaning and upkeep, plant rooms are often forgotten. Most of the time, they’re hidden away, only being accessed in the case of an emergency. There is electrical and ventilation equipment in these systems that is absolutely necessary. At CICS Ltd Uk we provide a full plant room cleaning service.
A company’s success depends on how well its factories are maintained. An effective and rule-compliant manufacturing process requires clean, well-maintained equipment and working environments. Clean equipment makes it easy to demonstrate proper hygiene standards outside of the areas where customers may see them.

Why Is Factory Cleaning So Important? There are several reasons why it is in a company’s best interest to invest in efficient cleaning techniques for their factory. Some of the main benefits include:
Complying with Rules and Regulations: There are numerous regulations in place in the manufacturing industry to ensure the safety of workers and the general public. These regulations are in place to protect the health and safety of workers and to prevent noncompliance through fines and legal action against businesses. This is especially important in the food processing industry, which must adhere to strict hygiene regulations to ensure the safety of its products and the satisfaction of its customers. A comprehensive approach to hygiene that covers both the plant and the rest of the company can reduce the risk of incidents and the associated costs and damage to a company’s reputation.
Improved Production Output: A clean factory allows workers to complete their tasks more quickly and efficiently. It also creates a factory that is efficient, user-friendly, and promotes a positive work environment. Quick and easy access to the resources needed to do their work without disruption is important for employees. A dirty factory leads to higher rates of mistakes, waste, and expenses, as well as longer turnaround times in production. It can also increase stress for employees, leading to workplace conflicts.
Improved Health and Safety of Staff: A clean factory not only allows workers to complete their tasks more quickly and efficiently, but it also saves time and money by reducing worker injuries and absences. This leads to higher overall productivity in the manufacturing process, allowing for lower costs and better morale.
Reduced Risk of Contamination: In addition to employee protection standards, there are also consumer protection regulations to consider. Your product must meet these sanitation standards in order to be sold to the public. Effective industrial hygiene may involve properly storing resources and ensuring that all machinery is clean in order to provide the finished product to the consumer without any risk of contamination or injury. Contamination can be damaging to a business, as it can result in lost customers.
Improved Quality of Production: Maintaining a clean work environment not only improves the quality of production, but it also helps to meet and exceed customer expectations. With the increased emphasis on hygiene due to the recent coronavirus pandemic, this is especially important at the moment. Customers will appreciate and a company’s credibility will increase if they maintain a clean manufacturing process.
Reduced Production Line Failure: Keeping a clean production line, including all machinery and materials that pass through it, is essential for maintaining a smooth-running factory. A dirty production line leads to more frequent breakdowns and failures, resulting in costly repairs and downtime. A clean production line reduces the risk of failure and helps to maintain the efficiency of the factory.
Reduced Risk of Fire: A dirty factory increases the risk of fire due to the accumulation of dust and debris. A clean factory reduces this risk and helps to keep workers safe.
As you can see, maintaining a clean factory has numerous benefits for a company, its workers, and its customers. By following a regularly scheduled program of cleaning and establishing a culture of cleanliness within

Waste collection: Factory operations often generate a variety of waste materials, including production waste, packaging materials, hazardous materials, and electronic waste. A factory cleaning service can assist with the collection and proper disposal of these materials to ensure that the facility is well-maintained and compliant with environmental regulations.
Restroom cleaning: Factory restrooms should be kept clean and well-stocked to ensure the comfort and convenience of workers. Restroom cleaning may involve tasks such as cleaning and disinfecting toilets, sinks, and mirrors, as well as restocking supplies such as soap, paper towels, and toilet paper.
Kitchen cleaning: If a factory has a kitchen or break room, it is important to keep it clean and well-maintained to ensure the health and safety of workers. Kitchen cleaning may involve tasks such as cleaning and disinfecting countertops, appliances, and sinks, as well as restocking supplies such as coffee, tea, and snacks.
Window cleaning: Windows can become dirty and streaky over time, reducing the amount of natural light that enters a factory and affecting the overall appearance of the facility. Window cleaning involves the use of specialised equipment and cleaning solutions to remove dirt, streaks, and other contaminants from windows.
Floor cleaning: Floors in a factory can become dirty and hazardous due to the accumulation of dirt, dust, and debris. Floor cleaning involves the use of specialised equipment and cleaning solutions to remove contaminants and restore the appearance of the floor.
It is possible to clean a factory using your own staff, rather than hiring a professional cleaning service. However, there are both pros and cons to this approach. One potential pro is that using your own staff may be more cost-effective than hiring a professional cleaning service. This can be especially appealing for small businesses or businesses with tight budgets.
However, there are also several potential cons to consider:
Expertise: Professional cleaning companies have experience and expertise in cleaning factories and industrial sites. They are equipped with specialised equipment and training to handle the unique challenges that these environments present. Using your own staff may not provide the same level of expertise and may result in less thorough or effective cleaning.
Time: Cleaning a factory can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Using your own staff to clean the factory may take time away from their regular duties and responsibilities, potentially reducing productivity and efficiency.
Health and safety: Cleaning a factory can be physically demanding and may involve working at heights or with hazardous materials. Professional cleaning companies have the necessary training and equipment to ensure that cleaning tasks are completed safely. Using your own staff may not provide the same level of safety, potentially putting them at risk of injury or illness.
Legal compliance: There are various regulations and standards that must be met in order to maintain a safe and compliant work environment. Professional cleaning companies are familiar with these regulations and can ensure that your factory meets all necessary standards. Using your own staff may not provide the same level of legal compliance, potentially putting your business at risk of fines or other penalties.
