Okay, been asked to clean out 3 units which look like this...







As you can see they are grease and oil soaked, what's the best method and chemicals to clean, floors and walls to be repainted after clean for new tenant so staining not really an issue but it needs to be clean enough that the floor paint takes

Thanks in advance

Hi Darran, i would recommend first of course to sweep all loose debris, then use floor scraper with flexible metal blade to remove any congealed oil and grease, we have a product called NU-Floor which is based on metabolic chemistry which is ideal for these type deep cleaning tasks, metabolic chemistry breaks the bond that holds the molecules of grease fats and oils together as it works at the molecular level so will break apart these soils making it very easy to scrub them away with a slow speed rotary and stiff medium brush or fiber floor cleaning pads, also a safe and effective product to pre spray the walls, just dilute NU-Floor at 30-1(same for cleaning the floor) with water into your pressure sprayer spray from the bottom up to the top and let it dwell for 5 minutes again to break the bond safely on any molecules of grease and oil stains then you can agitate and rinse off, it is safe to let NU-Floor down the drains and it will keep on working at eating the fats oils and greases down there, checkout   www.intinsiti.com if you would like to discover more about a technology that will really shake up the cleaning chemical industry, if you would like any further information Darran give me a call on 353 87 9406650      regards Tadgh

Make sure you have water and electric before starting (been caught out by this). Find out what engineering has been done as any effluent and dry waste may contain substances that could be classified as hazardous waste (swarf, engine oils, heavy metals, solvents etc.) On the safe side you could use absorbent granules but these would have to loaded into an ibc and may be subject to a waste audit so get your paperwork and testing straight.  Basically the problem is disposing of the effluent. Check to see if you have permission to flush run-off down the drain.  If you choose to wash it down the drain and contaminate the local stream you can kiss goodbye to your house.

Darren call me tomorrow if you like, literally just finished an 88000 sqft warehouse with the same soiling but a hell of a lot worse.

Cheers guys,

It's light engineering, cnc lathes mills etc, most waste is swarf, coolant fluids, hydraulic fluid from the machines and build up of grease. I have a specialist waste carrier ready for the drums of oil, but I will make sure the skip is a sealed one,

Neil - cheers, got a few bits to do but I'll ring you later today - thx
