Does anyone know how to clean floors in a walk-in freezer?

Question

You can't mop it because it just freezes and becomes slick. There must be a chemical I can use to clean it, I just don't know what it is!

Answer 1

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I have seen methanol (wood alcohol) used to wash the windows of light aircraft here in Alaska in winter. Fairbanks is easily as cold as your freezer. Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) might work as well if the water content were low enough.



Ventilation would be a BIG concern though. Don't know how to accomplish ventilating the freezer without defrosting it.



Hope this helps

Most chemicals that mix with water will lower the freezing point. Try adding a little extra detergent - it may help. If not, I'd suggest looking on websites that sell industrial cleaners. For a really thorough cleaning, you'll probably want to defrost the freezer and scrub it all out - saves you from getting cold fingers!



For practicality's sake, I'd suggest getting a removable mat for the floor. You don't have to deal with mold in a freezer - it's mostly just crumbs and possibly some spilled liquid - so there's no risk of getting mold or mildew in the tiles, which might happen in a refrigerator. So if you have a mat, you can just drag it out and clean it off. Saves the floor of the freezer, too.

Answer 3

I worked at a place with a 60,000 sq. foot frozen meals area. you could not rather sparkling it good whilst it rather is chilly. All you're able to do is sweep it good, then use a strait hoe to scrape off issues caught to the floor, like stickers and ice. in case you have something severe, you will get a propane torch and an extension and burn off the "airborne dirt and dirt." however the floor won't look any purifier.

Answer 4

Use salt water that has a lower freezing point, presuming you cannot turn it off. Ask the manufacturer how to do this. Use a removable wood raised flooring.

Answer 5

Salt water.

Answer 6

hot soapy water with a little bleach but not too much
