Cleaning Guide for the Natural Resources & Mining Industry

Common Cleaning Challenges

Heavy industrial soil removal

Facilities in mining, energy and processing environments face constant buildup of grease, oil, metal dust and residues that require powerful, safe cleaning solutions.

Large sites with limited downtime for cleaning

Operations run long hours or continuously, giving custodial teams limited windows to clean equipment and facilities without disrupting production.

Dust and particulate that affect equipment performance

Airborne dust and accumulated debris impact worker health and can damage machinery if not controlled effectively.

Safety and compliance risks

Slippery floors, unmarked spills, or incorrect chemical use can lead to slip, trip and fall injuries or failed audits.

Specialized equipment and sensitive surfaces

Industrial environments include rubber, metal, painted surfaces and large-scale machinery that require safe, surface-appropriate cleaning.

Odours and organic buildup 

Break rooms, locker rooms and washrooms in remote or high-intensity work environments need ongoing odour control and sanitation.

Complex operations 

With large workforces, high turnover and extended shifts, teams need simple, standardized cleaning solutions that are easy to implement.
