Oil and Grease Removal
Industrial degreasing is essential for facilities that use heavy machinery and manufacturing equipment. Over time, grease, oil, and grime build up on floors, machines, and work surfaces, reducing efficiency, creating slip hazards, and increasing the risk of equipment failure. Professional industrial degreasing removes these stubborn contaminants using specialised cleaning solutions and industrial-grade equipment.
Regular degreasing keeps your facility safe and compliant while improving machine performance. Clean equipment runs cooler, lasts longer, and requires fewer repairs, saving your business time and money. Beyond efficiency, degreasing maintains a professional, safe workspace, reduces fire risks, and ensures your facility meets safety standards. Routine industrial degreasing protects your investment and keeps operations running smoothly and safely.

What Is Industrial Degreasing?
Industrial degreasing is the process of removing grease, oil, grime, and other stubborn contaminants from machinery, equipment, floors, and surfaces in factories, warehouses, and industrial facilities. Over time, industrial operations produce heavy buildup that standard cleaning methods can’t remove. Professional degreasing uses specialised cleaning solutions, high-pressure equipment, and techniques designed specifically for industrial environments. This process restores equipment performance, improves safety, and ensures your facility operates efficiently.
Why Industrial Degreasing Matters
Grease and oil buildup isn’t just unsightly—it can be dangerous. Slippery floors increase the risk of workplace accidents, while residue on machinery can cause overheating, reduced efficiency, and premature wear. Regular industrial degreasing improves energy efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and prolongs equipment lifespan. It also helps facilities maintain compliance with safety regulations and creates a cleaner, safer, and more productive work environment for your team.
Types of Industrial Degreasing Services
Heavy Machinery Degreasing
This method targets industrial machinery that accumulates oil, grease, and grime from regular operation. It’s ideal for production lines, presses, and large equipment ranging from small motors to machines over 50,000 lbs. Cleaning restores efficiency, reduces wear, and prevents overheating.
Floor Degreasing
Industrial floors in factories, warehouses, and workshops collect oil, grease, and chemical spills over time. Floor degreasing removes these hazards, reduces slip and fire risks, and improves workplace safety.
Equipment & Conveyor Degreasing
Conveyor belts, motors, and small-to-medium industrial equipment often gather buildup that slows production. Professional degreasing keeps equipment running smoothly, lowers maintenance costs, and prolongs lifespan.
Chemical Degreasing
For stubborn buildup like heavy grease or resin, chemical degreasing uses specialised, safe industrial solutions to dissolve contaminants that mechanical cleaning cannot remove.
Pressure Washing Degreasing
High-pressure hot water or steam is used to remove grease, oil, and grime from surfaces, tanks, and machinery. This method is ideal for medium to large industrial spaces needing thorough cleaning.
Shutdown & Preventive Degreasing
Scheduled during maintenance shutdowns, this service includes deep cleaning of all equipment, floors, and surfaces to prevent buildup, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance with safety standards.
