Along the lines of food sanitation is warehouse sanitation. I spoke about sanitation of food products traveling though the third party logistics chain. Running a warehouse requires organization and cleanliness. Unless you have staff that handles all the aspects of keeping your business on the straight and narrow, it is likely that at some point you will hire a cleaning company to take care of your company. Some cleaning services handle residential homes and others deal with commercial property. Keep in mind that cleaning companies that say that they deal in commercial cleaning may be talking about office buildings, which do not require the same type of attentions as a warehouse or manufacturing plant.
For instance:
· Concrete flooring may not only require cleaning but also removal of stains and repair of cracks. Warehouse cleaning crews use sand blasters and acid wash to achieve results
· Carpets and upholstery may not only need vacuuming but also shampooing and stain removal, along with antistatic application
· The staff needs to be large enough to complete its business during closing time or in shifts to accommodate 24/7 manufacturing
· Cleaning of grounds and parking lot
· Washing windows both inside and out, which can be a challenge with the building that consists of thousands of square footage
. Not all warehouse-cleaning services are created alike, so ask for referrals from other warehouse managers, and check with your local Better Business Bureau as well as current licensing bureau.

In the bustle of moving pallets and boxes and supplies around a warehouse, it is easy to forget about cleaning. A commercial warehouse accumulates a lot of dirt on the floor, and it becomes apparent at lunch break when you look at your feet. As sterile as the environment seems, somehow dust and dirt accumulate.
