How to Clean Warehouse Floors: A Guide with Scrubbers and Sweepers

Keeping your warehouse floors clean isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about safety, productivity, and extending the life of your floors. In busy warehouses across Australia, concrete floors are constantly exposed to forklift traffic, footfall, and spills. So, how do you keep your warehouse spotless? With powerful and efficient floor scrubbers and sweepers, of course.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to cleaning warehouse floors efficiently with scrubbers and sweepers:

Step 1: Sweeping the Warehouse Floor

Before you dive into deep cleaning, it’s crucial to remove loose debris. Tennant’s floor sweepers are built for heavy-duty jobs and can handle everything from small dust particles to larger debris like packaging scraps. These machines come equipped with powerful brushes and dust control systems to keep your warehouse clean and dust-free.

Take the Tennant S20 Compact Ride-On Sweeper, for example. It’s designed to cover more ground quickly, boosting productivity without sacrificing performance. With its wide cleaning paths and ergonomic design, this sweeper makes it easier for your team to keep warehouse floors clean while minimising operator fatigue.

Step 2: Cleaning the Warehouse with a Floor Scrubber

Once the debris is swept up, it’s time to deep-clean those concrete floors. Our floor scrubbers are engineered to withstand the rigors of warehouse environments and deliver powerful cleaning performance, especially on tough concrete surfaces.

From the T600 Micro Walk-Behind Scrubber with 49kg of down pressure to the industrial-strength T20 Ride-On Scrubber offering up to 181kg of down pressure, our machines ensure your floors are scrubbed and dried in a single pass. Plus, it not only removes grime, but also reduces dust, protecting your warehouse inventory and equipment from damage.

Step 3: Maintain a regular warehouse floor cleaning schedule

Consistency is key to keeping your warehouse floors in top condition. Establishing a regular cleaning routine will help you avoid dirt buildup and reduce the risk of accidents or equipment damage. With Tennant’s wide range of floor scrubbers and sweepers, creating a schedule that fits your warehouse’s needs is easy:
