Warehouse Cleaning Case Study: Dust-Free Floors for SKF Australia

Client Background

Client: SKF Australia
Location: Oakleigh, VIC
Service Provided: Warehouse Floor Cleaning & Ongoing Maintenance
Type: Industrial / Warehouse Facility

SKF Australia operates a busy warehouse where forklifts, trolleys, and continuous inventory movement generated heavy dust buildup.
Traditional sweeping only displaced the dust into the air, leading to poor indoor air quality. Staff began experiencing asthma and allergy symptoms, prompting management to seek a cleaning partner who could prioritise both workplace cleanliness and employee health.

Tidy Hands Facility Services was chosen for our proven track record in dust-free industrial cleaning and commitment to sustainable, health-focused solutions.

The Challenge

The main challenge was to maintain a clean, dust-free warehouse environment without disrupting operations, while improving indoor air quality for staff.

Persistent dust caused by vehicle and stock movement
Traditional sweeping spreading dust into the air
Poor air quality affecting employee health and comfort
Need for non-disruptive cleaning around working hours
Requirement for an ongoing dust-control solution

Our Solution
