Industrial Cleaning - Floor Cleaning - Yellow Floor Powder


Cleaning workshop floors is no easy task but with the right cleaning chemicals it can be made a whole lot easier. Blendwell Chemicals manufactures a large range of cleaning chemicals and is sure to have the right cleaning chemical for you to clean your workshop floors.

If the floor was really dirty and you cleaned it with Brickwash to get it clean you will not want to continue using Brickwash as the floor will strip away. A fantastic maintenance cleaning product is Yellow Floor Powder.  What’s really great about this floor powder is that it is not caustic based so it is a lot easier than most floor powders to use. This cleaning chemical has excellent fat, grease and dirt removing properties.

This concentrated floor powder is best used when the floor has been made wet with a sprinkle of water and then the powder is sprinkled liberally on top. A stiff broom should be used to work the powder into the floor and then leave to stand for about 20 minutes. This will give the cleaning chemical time to work and then rinse off with excess water.

Industrial Cleaning - Floor Cleaning - Brickwash


For cleaning floors that have been exposed to building work where excess cement has dropped on the floor and not been cleaned up in time, you will need to use a seriously strong cleaning chemical.

For this level of cleaning a plain cement floor, I would recommend a Blendwell Chemicals product called Brickwash. This cleaning chemical is a highly acidic detergent blend and must be handled with great care.  It works really well on floors that have not been cleaned for a long time but have a large amount of grease build-up. It also works really well as a primer if you want to paint the floor afterwards – just be sure to rinse all of the cleaning chemical off and allow to dry before attempting to paint.

It is also effective at removing cement left over from building work as well as cleaning away lime discolouration left on stone and bricks. Always use full safety gear when handling this product as it is highly acidic. If you choose to use this cleaning chemical it should only be for once off cleaning. If used repeatedly it can strip away the floor completely. Do not use on a painted floor if you want the paint to remain.

Industrial Cleaning - Floor Cleaning - Maxikleen


When cleaning your factory or workshop floor lifting all the grease and grime that exists is something that is not that easy to do but is very necessary.  You may need to use some powerful cleaning chemicals to help you achieve this goal.

A fabulous cleaning product to consider is Blendwell Chemicals Maxikleen. Maxikleen is another one of those really versatile cleaning chemicals that can be used almost anywhere because it is a degreaser and detergent in one. Maxikleen is a brilliant product to use because it complies well above requirements for SABS 1344 so you can be sure of this cleaning product being all that you need it to be.

For cleaning workshop floors, I would recommend that you dilute this cleaning chemical at a ratio of 1:10 with water. This would mean that to make up 5 litres of cleaning solution you will need 500ml of Maxikleen to be mixed with 4,5 litres of water. Simply scrub the cleaning solution into the floor with a broom and leave for a few minutes for it to activate. Brush the floor again with the broom and rinse with clean water.

Industrial Cleaning - Floor Cleaning - Wac GP Cleaner


Cleaning floors in a workshop is no small feat so you’ll want to do it right the first time. There are a few options that I have already discussed but there is always Wac GP Cleaner.

This cleaning chemical is an awesome cleaning chemical to have as a stock item. It can be used to clean just about anything that can tolerate water. This cleaning product is a combination of a detergent and a degreaser. While the degreasing agents in this cleaning product work to lift the dirt and grease from the surface the detergent helps to wash it away. Wac GP Cleaner complies with the SABS 1344 mark.

For cleaning your factory or workshop floor, you will need to use this cleaning chemical at a dilution of 1:5. This will mean that for 5 litres of cleaning solution, you will need one litre of Wac GP Cleaner and four litres of water. You can then use a broom to work this cleaning chemical into your floor, leave for a few minutes to let it work and rinse clean.

For more information on this cleaning chemical and all the other industrial cleaning chemicals that we manufacture, please visit www.blendwell.co.za/Industrial_Cleaning_Chemicals.

Industrial Cleaning - Floor Cleaning


When it comes to cleaning in an industrial environment, having the right cleaning chemicals and using the right tools is vitally important. You can save yourself a lot of time and energy by using the right equipment.

You will need to assess just how dirty the floors are and how much cleaning they will require. If it’s not too bad you can consider looking at using a brush for the dirtier areas and a broom for the general areas.  You will be using both the brush and broom with cleaning chemicals in a wet state. It is best to pour the cleaning solution onto the wet floor and then work it in with the broom.

If you are needing to use more specialised equipment you can look at using a high pressure washer to help lift off the grease and grime. Another option to consider is to use a scrubbing machine. A scrubbing machine will help you work away that grease without all the sweat – this is a great option if you have a huge amount of grease that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time.

For more information on cleaning workshop floors please come back and see the blogs that will be following this one.
