Industrial Cleaning for Northern Ontario Mines, Mills and Plants

Equipment and machinery cleaning, floor degreasing and facility housekeeping, scheduled around your production shifts and your shutdowns.

The shift you have already had

The line stops on nights. Maintenance gets there and finds the drive packed with dust and grease, and now the guard has to come off before anyone can even look at the fault. Two millwrights spend the first hour of the outage cleaning.

Nobody planned that hour. It came out of production, out of your maintenance schedule, and out of the preventive work orders that were supposed to get done on that shift.

Housekeeping is the first thing that slides

Your maintenance crew exists to maintain equipment. Every shift they spend degreasing a floor, shovelling dust out from under a conveyor or washing down a frame is a tradesperson doing housekeeping at a tradesperson's rate, and the work order scheduled for that day did not happen.

Northern operations generate their own mess and they generate a lot of it. Ore and rock dust off the crusher. Sawdust and bark in a mill. Diesel particulate carried in from the yard. Oil, grease and coolant around the shop. Then five months of road salt and sand tracked in on boot treads, forklift tires and equipment decks. It settles on floors, on frames, on overhead steel, on lighting and on the outside of every control cabinet you own.

A cleaning company set up for office buildings is not set up for that, and you find out on the first invoice or the first safety walk.

The bill for poor housekeeping arrives somewhere else

Incidents

A greasy or wet floor, a cluttered walkway, a spill nobody got to. Every slip, trip or fall becomes first aid at best. At worst it becomes a lost-time claim, an investigation that pulls your supervisors off the floor for days, and a claims history that follows your WSIB account.

Equipment life

Fine dust in a motor housing, on a cooling fan or inside a control cabinet makes equipment run hotter than it was designed to run. Things fail early, and early failure is a capital line, not a maintenance line.

Fire load and findings

Dust that accumulates on beams, ledges, ductwork and light fixtures is fuel, and it is the first thing an inspector or an insurance surveyor notices when they look up. Better to have handled it before the walkthrough than to be writing the corrective action after it.

Downtime

An unplanned outage costs you by the hour. Housekeeping is one of the few contributing factors you can schedule and control before it turns into one.

What we cover, zone by zone

Work that requires confined space entry, energized equipment, elevated access or hot work is scoped with your supervisors first, and it goes into the contract in writing before anyone starts.

Production floor

Degreasing, spill cleanup, aisle and walkway clearing, machine surrounds, pit and trench edges, and floor scrubbing with equipment sized for the space.

Equipment and machinery

Exterior wash-down and dust removal on frames, guards, motor housings, drives, conveyors, catwalks and platforms, to the extent your lockout procedure allows.

Overhead and structure

Dust removal from beams, ledges, ductwork, cable trays and light fixtures where safe access exists. The improvement in lighting output alone is usually worth the visit.

Shops and maintenance bays

Parts wash areas, benches, tool cribs, floor degreasing, and waste oil and rag station cleanup.

Crew areas

Lunchrooms, dry rooms, locker rooms, washrooms and first aid rooms, cleaned on a frequency that matches your headcount and your shift pattern.

Site offices

Administration, scale house, control room and training rooms, cleaned to an office standard on the same contract.

Entrances in winter

Matting, salt and sand control, and slush management at every man door and mudroom, from first snow through spring breakup.

How we work on an operating site

  • We schedule to your shifts, not ours. Days, afternoons, nights, weekends, or during a planned shutdown when the equipment is down and accessible anyway.
  • We work to your site rules. We sign in at your gate, sit through your orientation, follow your lockout and permit procedures, and report to whoever you name as our contact.
  • We work from a written scope. Your supervisors get a document that says what gets cleaned, at what frequency, and in which zone. Housekeeping stops being an argument and becomes a schedule.
  • Safety is a condition of the work. We were named one of Canada's Safest Employers in 2025, and the way we run a job site is the reason.
  • Three branches, one region. Sudbury, Sault Ste Marie and Timmins. A site outside town is served from whichever branch sits closest to it, and we have been working in this region since 1952.
