What's included in QCC warehouse cleaning.

Default scope across most warehouse and DC sites. Cold storage, food-grade, peak-season surge layered on the same contract.

  1. 01

    Floor scrubbing · ride-on for 5,000 m²+

    Ride-on auto scrubber above ~5,000 m². Walk-behind for smaller sites. Industrial chemistry matched to soil + substrate (concrete, epoxy, polished concrete, vinyl).

  2. 02

    Industrial vacuuming · HEPA where required

    Heavy-duty vacuums with HEPA filtration for food-grade, pharma, electronics, e-commerce sortation areas.

  3. 03

    Racking dusting + high-access cleaning

    Racking faces dusted/wiped at agreed cadence (typically quarterly or half-yearly), using site's existing high-access plant or QCC equipment.

  4. 04

    Mezzanine cleaning

    Vacuuming and surface cleaning of working levels above ground. Handrails, kick-plates, access stairs included.

  5. 05

    Loading-dock cleaning

    Pressure washing, drain clearing, oil-stain treatment. The most-visible part of the warehouse to drivers and auditors.

  6. 06

    Office + amenity cleaning

    Smaller side scope alongside production-floor work. Lunchroom, bathrooms, supervisor offices.

  7. 07

    Bin + waste-area cleaning

    Empty, sanitise, replace liners. Coordinated with the site's waste contractor.

  8. 08

    Bollard, bumper + edge-marking cleaning

    Important for OH&S visibility — markings clean and visible reduces forklift incident rates.

  9. 09

    External hard-stand + approach

    Sweeping, periodic pressure-wash of the approach roadway and external hard-stand surfaces.

How warehouse cleaning works at QCC

  2. Step 02

    JSA + WHS authoring

    Site-specific JSA + SWMS authored, signed by supervisor, copied to your operations + WHS teams. Equipment positioning agreed with site.

  3. Step 03

    Service · between-shift cycles

    Dedicated warehouse crew — Working at Heights certified, Cert III qualified. Sign-in via geofenced GPS inside the agreed window. Equipment positioned + maintained on-site.

  4. Step 04

    Audit-ready reporting + surge

    Boomerang produces evidence pack on demand. Surge crews positioned for peak-season ramps with 6–8 weeks notice. JSA/SWMS exportable for procurement.

Warehouse methods · three pillars

Equipment, heights, cold + food-grade.

Three layered controls — the scale of the equipment, the vertical dimension of the work, and the specialist environments (cold storage, food-grade).

  1. Pillar 01

    Equipment + scale

    Warehouses run 5,000–50,000+ m². Walk-behind scrubbers and mops aren't options — ride-on is. Productivity measured in m²/hour, not rooms-per-shift.

    • Ride-on auto scrubbers · ~2,000–2,500 m²/hour (Tennant T16/T17 class)
    • Walk-behind scrubbers · smaller sites + tighter aisles
    • Industrial sweepers · external hard-stand + heavy-soil pre-scrub
    • HEPA-filter vacuums · food-grade, pharma, electronics
    • High-pressure washers · cold + hot-water options
    • All QCC-owned, QCC-maintained, current Test and Tag
  2. Pillar 02

    Working at heights · racking + mezzanines

    Racking 6–12m high. Mezzanines add 3–6m more. Half the work is the floor; the other half is vertical surfaces.

    • Racking face cleaning · quarterly/half-yearly cadence
    • Mezzanine cleaning · handrails, kick-plates, access stairs
    • Gantry + walkway cleaning · overhead crane infrastructure
    • Light-fixture cleaning · high-bay lights in food-grade/pharma
    • Working at Heights certification · every crew member
    • Site-specific JSA before any high-access work
  3. Pillar 03

    Cold storage + food-grade

    Below-zero environments need cold-rated chemistry, PPE, and time discipline. Food-grade DCs operate to AS 4674 with allergen-zone awareness.

    • Cold-rated chemistry (most sanitisers freeze below 0°C)
    • Cold-rated PPE for crew comfort + safety
    • AS 4674 alignment for food-grade DCs
    • Colour-coded equipment dedicated to food zones
    • HACCP-aligned cleaning regime mapped per facility
    • Allergen-zone awareness · cross-contamination controls

Warehouse cleaning · 15 cities

Local crews, national peak-season scaling.

Multi-state warehouse network contracts run under one Boomerang portal. Surge capacity positioned 6–8 weeks ahead of peak.

Sites we clean

From DCs to cold storage + food-grade.

Different verticals, different soil profiles, different chemistries — but the same ride-on capability and ISO 45001 frame.

Why warehouse operators choose QCC

Six reasons DC managers stay.

  1. Reason · 01

    Ride-on at warehouse scale

    Productive rate ~2,000–2,500 m²/hour on clear floors. We size the equipment to the floor — wrong equipment damages surfaces and misses deadlines.

    Industrial cleaning

  2. Reason · 02

    Working-at-Heights certified for racking + mezzanines

    Every crew member holds current certification. Fall-arrest equipped. Site-specific JSA authored for racking/mezzanine work, signed by supervisor.

    Inside TrainingUP

  3. Reason · 03

    Peak-season surge capacity

    E-commerce and 3PL warehouses run 3–5× baseline volume in November–December. We position equipment + crews 6–8 weeks ahead so the cleaning doesn't become the bottleneck.

  4. Reason · 04

    ISO 45001 H&S + Cm3 prequalified

    Real cert, current audit. Cm3 contractor prequalified — your procurement team verifies in the Cm3 portal directly. JSA/SWMS exported by default.

    Compliance stack

  5. Reason · 05

    Cold + food-grade capability

    Cold-rated chemistry + PPE for freezer DCs. AS 4674 alignment + allergen-zone discipline for food DCs. HEPA-filter vacuums for pharma.

  6. Reason · 06

    Boomerang for warehouse ops

    Geofenced sign-in proves attendance inside the cleaning window. Photo logs prove the floor was clean before the next shift started.

    Inside Boomerang

Warehouse cleaning · before signing

Twelve questions DC managers ask first.

  • 01

    What does warehouse cleaning include?

    Floor scrubbing (ride-on auto scrubber for floors above ~5,000 m²; walk-behind for smaller plates), industrial vacuuming with HEPA filtration where required, racking and mezzanine cleaning at agreed cadence, loading-dock cleaning (pressure washing, oil-stain treatment), bin and waste-area cleaning, office and amenity cleaning within the warehouse, external hard-stand sweeping. Mapped to your site at onboarding.

  • 02

    What equipment do you use for warehouse cleaning?

    Ride-on auto scrubbers (Tennant T16/T17 or Nilfisk SC8000 class) for large floors at ~2,000–2,500 m²/hour productive rate. Walk-behind scrubbers for smaller plates. Industrial sweepers for external hard-stand. HEPA-filter vacuums for food-grade and pharma. High-pressure washers (cold and hot-water). Scissor and boom lifts for working-at-heights. All QCC-owned, current Test and Tag.

  • 03

    Can you clean racking and mezzanines?

    Yes — racking face cleaning typically runs on a quarterly or half-yearly cadence depending on stock type. Mezzanine cleaning is part of the standard scope (vacuuming, surface cleaning, handrails, kick-plates). Every crew member holds current Working at Heights certification with fall-arrest equipment. SWMS authored per job.

  • 04

    Do you clean cold storage and freezer DCs?

    Yes. Cold storage requires cold-rated chemistry (standard sanitisers freeze or lose efficacy below 0°C), cold-rated PPE for crew comfort and safety, time discipline (longer breaks for re-warming), and floor scrubbers that operate in cold conditions without battery-life loss. Mapped during onboarding.

  • 05

    Can you handle peak-season surge for e-commerce?

    Yes — built into the contract. E-commerce and 3PL warehouses run 3–5× baseline volume November–December (Black Friday, Christmas). QCC positions equipment and crews 6–8 weeks ahead with locked-in surge schedule. Pre-peak prep cleans, surge crews during peak, post-peak recovery — all part of the standard scope.

  • 06

    Do you clean food-grade DCs to AS 4674?

    Yes. Food-grade DCs operate under AS 4674 (Design, construction and fit-out of food premises) where applicable. QCC runs food-grade-rated chemistry, colour-coded equipment (blue for food zones), HACCP-aligned cleaning regime, and allergen-zone awareness (peanut-free zones, gluten-free zones with controlled equipment custody).

  • 07

    How fast can your ride-on scrubbers cover a warehouse?

    Productive rate is approximately 2,000–2,500 m²/hour on clear floors. A 20,000 m² warehouse takes ~8–10 hours of ride-on time. Add transit, equipment positioning, and detail work — typical full-clean window is 10–12 hours for a mid-size DC. Walk-behind work and tight aisles slow this down. Site walkthrough at quote time confirms the realistic timing.

  • 08

    Are warehouse cleaners ISO 45001 certified?

    Yes. QCC holds AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018 (Health & Safety Management Systems) — externally audited annually. ISO 45001 is the floor for warehouse and industrial work, not the ceiling. Site-specific JSA + SWMS authored per job and copied to your operations and WHS teams.

  • 09

    Do you provide JSA and SWMS to the client?

    Yes — part of the standard onboarding pack. Site-specific JSA and SWMS authored before first attendance, signed by the supervisor, and copied to your operations and WHS teams. Most warehouse cleaning providers keep these documents internal. QCC exports them by default.

  • 10

    Can you do stock-take preparation cleans?

    Yes. Stock-take prep is typically scheduled the day before counters arrive, focused on high-stock-density areas where dust accumulation affects counting accuracy. Detail-grade clean to start the count clean. Often combined with a pre-peak preparation clean if the timing aligns.

  • 11

    Are you Cm3 prequalified for warehouse work?

    Yes. QCC is current in the Cm3 contractor prequalification platform. Your procurement and WHS teams can verify our profile in the Cm3 portal directly. Most large-warehouse procurement teams require Cm3 as a minimum bar for site work.

  • 12

    How much does warehouse cleaning cost?

    Warehouse cleaning is line-item priced — labour + equipment + chemistry + WHS overhead + travel. The line-item ranges depend heavily on floor area, soil load, and whether racking/mezzanine work is included. We give every site a transparent line-by-line quote within 24 hours of the walkthrough — no hidden costs, no template pricing.
