Is there a difference between Commercial Cleaning & Industrial Cleaning?

‘Commercial Cleaning’ is a broad term which refers to any professional cleaning service catering to the needs of a business, institution, not-for-profit organisation, or other commercial entity such as a body corporate. Commercial Cleaning encapsulates all types of cleaning, except where that cleaning is performed in a home or other domestic setting, or is otherwise engaged at the behest of a private individual.

‘Industrial Cleaning’ is a specialised subcategory of commercial cleaning which takes into account the unique aspects of light or heavy industrial facilities, spanning warehouses and transport depots through to food production and metal works. The size of such sites and the inclusion of high ceilings, semi-open environments, production equipment, heavy machinery along and vehicle use, generally requires specialised equipment to access and effectively clean the areas and equipment in question, industrial grade cleaning products to move vehicle and machinery grease, and highly-experienced cleaners trained in the use of the requisite equipment and the escalated workplace health and safety associated with industrial sites.
