Dirty Machinery Is Expensive — Lauxen Helps You Protect Your Equipment and Profits

If Your Equipment Could Talk, It’d Be Asking for a Deep Clean

Your heavy machinery keeps your operations moving—literally. But over time, dirt, grease, and debris build up in places that most internal maintenance crews don’t have time (or tools) to reach. And that buildup quietly erodes the performance, safety, and life expectancy of your most valuable assets.

At Lauxen Cleaning Solutions, we help industrial teams stop treating equipment cleaning as an afterthought. Our goal? Protect your machinery, your uptime, and your team—so you avoid costly surprises down the line.

Grime Costs More Than You Think

Dirty machinery leads to a domino effect of problems that eat into your margins:

  • Overheating components due to blocked airflow
  • Sensor malfunctions from dust and residue interference
  • Hydraulic or mechanical failures caused by grime buildup
  • Slips and falls from grease pooling around machines
  • Downtime while technicians clean or repair equipment that could’ve been maintained proactively

And here’s the truth: visual cleaning by your operators only handles surface-level messes. The real risk is in the buildup behind panels, inside housings, or under static equipment.

Where It’s Hiding: Common Trouble Spots We See

In warehouse and manufacturing settings, Lauxen regularly finds issues in:

  • Fan intakes and vents
  • Conveyor belts and roller housings
  • Motors and electrical panels
  • Hydraulic arms and joints
  • Control stations and operator handles
  • Forklift docking zones
  • Drainage and runoff areas near machinery

These are not just dirty—they’re dangerous when neglected.

Why Most Facilities Fall Behind

Your team is focused on output, not sanitation. And while they may handle daily wipe-downs or degreasing, most don’t have:

  • The right tools for internal cleaning
  • Safe, approved degreasers that won’t damage seals or systems
  • Time to shut down machines for deep maintenance
  • Training in how to clean machinery without triggering alarms or safety lockouts

That’s where Lauxen’s specialized cleaning crew fills the gap—professionally, efficiently, and safely.

Lauxen’s Approach to Machinery Cleaning

We work with your maintenance or operations team to create a machine-specific cleaning strategy that protects productivity and extends equipment life.

✅ Degreasing That Respects the Machinery

We use commercial-grade degreasers designed for industrial equipment—effective but gentle on seals, wiring, and paint.

✅ Dry Cleaning for Sensitive Components

In areas where moisture could cause issues, we use compressed air, vacuums, and static-safe tools to remove dust and debris.

✅ Floor Zone Cleaning

We clean the surrounding base area to remove spills, buildup, and slip hazards that threaten both workers and machinery.

✅ Night and Weekend Scheduling

We’ll work around your production windows to avoid disruption—whether that means third shift or weekends only.

✅ Documentation for Preventive Maintenance Logs

Each service includes a summary of work completed, issues observed, and optional before/after photos.

Real Example: $8,000 in Downtime Avoided

A manufacturing client of ours ran 14 hours of production downtime after a conveyor motor failed. Cause? Grease and dust inside the housing had clogged a cooling fan and triggered an emergency shutoff.

After that incident, they hired Lauxen to:

  • Clean all motor and belt housings quarterly
  • Degrease floor zones around key equipment weekly
  • Maintain an ongoing checklist of at-risk components

Result? Their equipment’s uptime has remained above 99%, and they haven’t had another incident in over a year.

What You Get With Lauxen

We’re not just another janitorial service. We specialize in industrial environments, and our cleaning routines are built for:

  • Heavy equipment safety
  • Maintenance coordination
  • OSHA and WHS compliance
  • Fire hazard reduction
  • Slip and spill prevention

And most importantly, we understand that machine downtime = lost revenue, so we clean with speed and precision.

Equipment Cleaning as a Business Strategy

When you clean proactively, you gain more than shine—you gain:

  • Fewer repairs and longer equipment life
  • Fewer accidents from dirty work areas
  • More uptime and operational consistency
  • Better performance tracking for your maintenance crew
  • Proof of care and due diligence for inspectors, insurers, and corporate leadership

It’s not just clean—it’s smart.
