Industrial cleaning + janitorial supplies cover the full hygiene + spill response + waste management workflow for factories, workshops, warehouses, commercial premises. Selection by surface (floor / equipment / washroom), contamination type, and WHS + food-safety compliance.
| Cleaning Category | Best For | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Floor Cleaners (Industrial) | Concrete + epoxy + vinyl factory floors | Degreaser + neutral cleaner + heavy-duty stripper grades |
| Hand Cleaners (Workshop) | Grease + oil + paint hand cleanup | See hand cleaners |
| Degreasers (Industrial) | Equipment + machinery cleanup | Solvent + aqueous + biological options |
| Glass + Window Cleaner | Office + retail + windows + mirrors | Streak-free formulations |
| Washroom Cleaner + Sanitiser | Toilet + basin + tile cleaning + disinfection | Acid-based + bleach + quat-based |
| Spill Absorbents (Granular + Pads) | Oil + chemical spill containment | Granular cellulose / oil-only pads / universal pads |
| Mop + Bucket + Wringer Systems | Floor cleaning workflow | Trolley + bucket + mop heads + handles |
| Cleaning Rags + Wipes | Wiping + drying — disposable + reusable | See rags & wipes |
| Vacuum Cleaners + Dust Extraction | Dust + dry waste + power tool extraction | See vacuum cleaners |
| Bin Liners + Waste Bags | General + clinical + recyclable waste | Heavy-duty + colour-coded by waste stream |
Compliance: Food-prep + clinical environments require specific cleaner grades (food-grade detergent + hospital-grade disinfectant). Pair chemistry to substrate — acid cleaners etch concrete + aluminium; bleach damages SS over time. Brands: Triple7, CRC, Septone. Companion: cleaning chemicals, hand cleaners, degreasers, spill containment.
Cleaning & Janitorial Supplies
A clean, hygienic workplace is fundamental to safety, productivity, and compliance. Spills cleaned promptly prevent slips; clean surfaces reduce contamination; tidy washrooms reflect a professional workplace culture and satisfy WHS and food safety obligations. AIMS Industrial supplies cleaning and janitorial products for factories, workshops, warehouses, and commercial premises across Australia — covering everything from floor cleaning and degreasing to washroom hygiene and waste management.
Floor Cleaning
Industrial floors face more demanding cleaning requirements than residential or commercial floors — they accumulate oils, greases, metal filings, process chemicals, and heavy soiling that standard cleaning products cannot address effectively. Industrial floor cleaners and degreasers are formulated to cut through built-up contamination and restore floor surfaces to a safe, clean condition. For oily workshop floors, a concentrated alkaline degreaser diluted and applied with a mop or pressure washer is the standard approach. For general factory floors, neutral pH cleaners prevent damage to sealed concrete and tile grout.
Mops, Buckets, and Cleaning Equipment
AIMS supplies the full range of manual cleaning equipment for industrial premises. Mop heads and handles suited to industrial use — larger, more absorbent heads and heavier-duty handles than domestic equivalents — handle the larger floor areas and heavier soiling typical of factory and warehouse environments. Wringer buckets with heavy-duty mop wringer mechanisms allow efficient mop wringing without hand contact with the cleaning solution. Squeegees and floor scrapers assist with liquid spill management and floor preparation before mopping.
Washroom and Hygiene Supplies
Washroom hygiene products — soap dispensers and refills, paper towel dispensers and rolls, toilet tissue, and hand sanitiser — are standard janitorial consumables that require regular restocking. AIMS supplies commercial-grade washroom hygiene products for industrial and commercial premises. Industrial hand cleaners with abrasive action (for removing grease, paint, and heavy soiling) complement standard soap dispensers in workshops where workers need a more effective hand cleaning product before contact with food or sensitive skin areas.
Waste Management
Effective waste management on the factory floor and in washrooms requires appropriate bins, bin liners, and collection equipment. Pedal bins for washrooms, open bins for workshop waste, and colour-coded bins for waste segregation programs are all part of a complete janitorial supply program. Heavy-duty bin liners resist tearing under the weight of industrial waste materials.

People Also Ask — Cleaning and Janitorial Supplies
Q: What cleaning supplies does AIMS stock?
Industrial cleaning chemicals (heavy-duty degreasers, sanitisers, descaler, glass cleaner, floor cleaner), absorbents and spill-control products, mops and buckets, brooms and brushes, scrub pads, microfiber and disposable wipes, hand cleaners (industrial-grade), trash bags and disposal supplies, and specialty cleaning equipment. AIMS focuses on workshop and industrial cleaning needs rather than general commercial janitorial — for office/retail cleaning, dedicated janitorial suppliers offer broader range.
Q: What industrial degreaser for workshop floors?
Heavy-duty water-based degreaser concentrate diluted per usage — workshop floor cleaning standard. Apply with mop or floor scrubber, allow dwell time (5-10 minutes), agitate, rinse. For sustained oil contamination, dedicated concrete-cleaning degreasers with stronger surfactant systems. For oil-soaked patches, absorbents first (Floor-Dry, kitty litter, dedicated oil-absorbing products) to soak up free oil, then degreaser for residual film. Don't let oily floor cleaning fluid run to drains — environmental compliance issues.
Q: Absorbents — what types and when?
Granular absorbents (Floor-Dry, kitty litter): general workshop oil and chemical spills, dust them onto the spill, allow to absorb, sweep up. Cheapest option. Absorbent socks and pads: containment of leaks at equipment, larger spill control, easier cleanup. Spill kits: dedicated for hazardous spills (oil-only, chemical-specific, universal). For workshop standard, granular absorbents + sock barriers for equipment leaks. For chemical handling, spill kits matched to the chemicals stored on site (mandatory for AS 1940 compliance).
Q: Industrial hand cleaner — what's right for workshop?
Industrial hand cleaner with abrasive (pumice, walnut shell): removes engine grease, paint, and heavy contamination. Apply to dry hands, rub vigorously, rinse with water. Brands: Inox Permatex, Solvol, ProPaints, dedicated industrial hand cleaners. For light cleaning between heavy jobs, standard soap works. For end-of-shift cleanup after greasy work, industrial hand cleaner is essential — regular soap doesn't cut workshop grease. See [Industrial Hand Cleaner Guide](/blogs/product-guides/industrial-hand-cleaner-guide).
Q: Mop, bucket, brushes — what should I stock?
Workshop standard: heavy-duty workshop mop (synthetic head — natural fibre rots from chemical exposure), wheeled bucket with wringer (saves operator effort), workshop broom (stiff bristle for heavy debris, soft for fine), assorted scrub brushes (parts cleaning, floor scrubbing), shadowboard for organising. For floor scrubbing, consider whether a powered floor scrubber pays back over mopping (typically for workshops >200m² with regular cleaning needs).
