What warehouse cleaning usually covers
- Sweeping and scrubbing concrete floors, aisles and loading docks.
- Restrooms, break rooms and locker rooms.
- Offices and shipping and receiving areas.
- Trash, cardboard and debris removal from walkways.
- Periodic high dusting of racking, beams and lights.
What is different about warehouses
OSHA's walking-working surfaces rule (29 CFR 1910.22) requires workplaces, passageways and storerooms to be kept "in a clean, orderly, and sanitary condition," workroom floors to be kept clean and, where feasible, dry, and walking surfaces to be free of hazards such as spills and protruding objects. Regular floor cleaning is part of how a warehouse meets that rule.
Warehouses also differ from offices in scale and timing: large floors usually need machines, and cleaning has to fit around shifts, forklifts and dock schedules.
Questions to ask before you sign
- Do you bring your own ride-on scrubbers or sweepers, and who maintains them?
- Can you work around our shifts and forklift traffic?
- How do you handle oil, fluid or product spills on the floor?
- Will your crew follow our site safety rules and PPE requirements?
- Is high dusting or racking cleaning included, and how often?
For the insurance, bonding and contract questions every building should ask, see janitorial services.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a warehouse floor be cleaned?
It depends on traffic, dust and what you store. Busy aisles and docks are often swept daily and scrubbed on a set schedule. A walkthrough with the cleaning company is the best way to set it.
Does OSHA require warehouse cleaning?
OSHA's walking-working surfaces rule, 29 CFR 1910.22, requires floors and passageways to be kept clean, orderly and sanitary and free of hazards such as spills. It does not set a cleaning frequency.
