What is High Level Cleaning?

Mar 17, 2022

When it comes to industrial cleaning, high-level cleaning is a special type of cleaning that focuses on surfaces that are high up or difficult to reach. This type of cleaning is often required in factories and warehouses because they're subjected to a lot of dirt, dust, and debris, as well as where the surfaces can be quite large and difficult to reach. High-level cleaning involves specialist equipment, trained qualified staff and techniques for reaching high surfaces and getting the job done safely and efficiently. Therefore, it is usually a job contracted to a professional cleaning company.


These professionals have the experience and expertise necessary to clean all surfaces without causing any damage. Plus, they can often get the job done quickly and efficiently so that your business can get back up and running as soon as possible. If you require high-level cleaning for your factory or warehouse,
be sure to reach out to a reputable company


External & internal high-level cleaning

So, if we define high-level cleaning as any commercial cleaning at a height, what services would be included in high-level cleaning? To make things easier, high-level cleaning can be broken down into two categories: external and internal. 


External high-level cleaning

External high-level cleaning is typically done on the outside of the building, including window cleaning, roof cleaning, gutter cleaning, cladding or façade cleaning, solar panel cleaning, banner and signage cleaning, etc..


Internal high-level cleaning

Internal cleaning, on the other hand, is performed on the inside. It includes light fittings, internal cladding, walls, cleaning, duct and conduit cleaning, cleaning of structural steels, skylights, and other windows internally. This type of cleaning usually involves the use of specialised equipment and chemicals in order to remove stains, dust, and debris. 


Challenges of high-level cleaning

Cleaning an elevated surface is not as easy as it seems. In fact, it can be fairly challenging. Without the proper tools and equipment, it can be difficult and dangerous to clean areas that are out of reach. Here are some of the challenges and risks associated with this type of approach:


  • It can be dangerous


It is no secret that high-level cleaning can be dangerous. Workers who work at elevated heights are more likely to suffer fall-related injuries. Each year thousands of workers suffer slip and fall accidents, with hundreds resulting in serious injury. In high-level cleaning, there are specific safety procedures that must be followed to avoid injury. 


  • It is time-consuming


High-level cleaning tasks are tedious and time-consuming. They take a long time to set up the equipment and workers with the necessary safety harnesses.
