Warehouse Cleaning Services in Van Nuys, CA

Industrial Van Nuys: freeway freight, airport activity and old plant sites

Van Nuys has a long industrial history. The Plant shopping center stands on the site of the former General Motors Van Nuys Assembly plant, and industrial buildings remain part of the neighborhood's mix beside the civic center, the hospital and retail. Van Nuys Airport adds aviation operations, including charter, helicopter and public-agency air units, and I-405 is the main freeway link for trucks moving in and out.

For a warehouse floor, all of that means grit. Trucks and forklifts carry dust from yards and streets onto concrete, and long, hot, dry inland summers keep it moving. Without regular scrubbing it packs into floor joints, dulls sealed concrete and becomes a slip hazard wherever it meets moisture at the dock.

Warehouse cleaning services in Van Nuys, CA: what the scope covers

A Van Nuys warehouse scope is built from the tasks below, with frequencies set by traffic and floor type.

Floor finish changes the method. Sealed or coated concrete takes a different pad and chemistry than bare concrete, and painted aisle and safety lines should not be scrubbed away. The walkthrough records floor types and markings before a schedule is set.

• Machine scrubbing of concrete and sealed floors on a set schedule, with equipment chosen for aisle width
• Sweeping and dust control in racking lanes and staging areas
• Dock and bay cleaning: debris, pallet fragments, spills and build-up at dock plates and doors
• High dusting of racking, beams, ledges and pipes so dust does not settle on product
• Restrooms and break areas cleaned and stocked for each shift
• Front offices, shipping desks and driver areas cleaned to an office standard
• Pressure washing of exterior aprons, walkways and trash enclosures

Cleaning around shifts and forklifts

The right cleaning window is the one that interrupts the least work. Single-shift operations often take scrubbing overnight, while two- and three-shift buildings may prefer a weekend scrub with lighter passes between shifts. Crews check in with the shift lead before entering active aisles, put out cones and signs around wet floors, and stay out of forklift lanes while equipment is moving.

Housekeeping is a safety task, not just an appearance one. Clear, dry walking surfaces, unobstructed exits and debris-free docks are basic workplace safety expectations, and a documented cleaning schedule gives your safety lead something concrete to show during an audit.

Heat inside Valley warehouses

Many warehouses are not air-conditioned, and Van Nuys summers push indoor temperatures up. Cal/OSHA's indoor heat illness rule, Title 8 section 3396, applies to indoor work areas once the temperature reaches 82 degrees Fahrenheit while employees are present, and that includes cleaning crews working inside your building. Heavy work such as scrubbing and high dusting is planned for cooler hours where the schedule allows, and crews follow the site's heat procedures.

Scale, logs and supervision

Warehouse programs need capacity. EBS has serviced more than 10 million square feet, including a single contract of more than 1 million square feet, and has more than 100 employees with backup staffing to cover absences. Every visit is recorded in service logs, and field supervisors inspect through eHub, logging findings and corrective actions.

Request a walkthrough and a supervisor will walk your floors, docks and racking, note shifts and traffic, and send a written scope and estimate at no charge. Teams travel to Van Nuys from our Corona office. Call (949) 375-3305.
