Industrial, warehouse and high dusting

Industrial cleaning in Missouri starts by looking up

Wash Authority handles industrial cleaning and warehouse cleaning in Missouri from our base in Jefferson City. The core of the job is high dusting, which takes settled dust off rafters, beams, racking and overhead systems before it falls on your product.

At a glance
  • What it is: high dusting and warehouse cleaning, worked from the rafters down.
  • What we clean: rafters, ceilings, beams, racking tops, duct, pipe, conduit, lights and fans.
  • Who it is for: warehouse, plant and facility managers with dust above normal reach.
  • When to book: when the floor is quiet, or around your shifts if operations keep running.
  • How to get a bid: send the building height, floor area and what hangs overhead.

What industrial cleaning and high dusting cover

High dusting removes settled dust from everything above normal reach. We work from the top down, so falling dust never lands on a floor we already cleaned.

AreaWhy it matters
Roof deck underside and raftersIt is the biggest surface, so it is the biggest source of falling dust.
Trusses and beamsDoor slams, fans and forklifts shake the structure, so the dust lets go.
Light fixturesFilm on the lens cuts the light, so the fixture puts out less.
Fans and unit heatersMoving air carries the dust right back into the building.
Duct, pipe, conduit and sprinkler linesNobody sees the tops from the floor, so nothing cleans them by accident.
Racking tops and uprightsWhen it falls, it lands on the product stored below.

Missouri adds its own load. Pollen and fall leaves blow in through open dock doors, and humid summers keep dust damp and clinging, from Jefferson City to Fulton and Sedalia.

Floor cleaning inside the building is its own line item, and it always comes last.

Safety and lift access for high dusting

  • Lift access. Tall work gets a plan before anyone leaves the ground, and lift rental is an add-on for tall work.
  • People below. If your crew works underneath, we set timing, zones and coverings with you first.
  • Site rules. We also settle orientation, badges and protective gear before day one.
  • Coverage. We are fully insured with workers' compensation. Plus, a certificate of insurance is available on request for commercial clients.
  • Safety paperwork. If you need specific documents, send the requirement and you get a plain answer.

Questions about high dusting and warehouse cleaning

High dusting is dust removal from anything above normal reach, like rafters, trusses, beams, duct, conduit, lights and the tops of racking. Reaching it takes planned access, often a lift, so every job starts with the building height.
Sometimes, depending on what sits below the work. Some buildings suit working around shifts, with coverings and forklift routes planned ahead. Others are better when the floor is quiet.
Yes, overhead comes first. Dust falls when something disturbs it, so cleaning floors before rafters means cleaning them twice.
Yes. Dust on rafters, beams and racking comes down when a door slams, a fan starts or a forklift shakes the structure. Then it lands on whatever sits below.

Send us the building. We will look up.

Tell us how tall it is and what hangs overhead, and that is enough to start a bid.
