Janitorial Solutions for
Auto Repair Shops
From the moment you step into your shop to the smallest storage closet, Americhem has every cleaning product, machine, and accessory you need to keep your facility running efficiently. You can explore the key areas below to find out how we can support your shop from start to finish.
Service Bays
The service bays in your auto repair shop are where your team spends most of their time, making cleanliness and organization essential to your team’s ongoing success. When customers visit your facility, a clean service bay immediately reinforces professionalism and builds trust, both of which directly impact your reputation.
Beyond appearances, a clean shop also shows your team that you value their workspace. Studies have shown that organized, well-maintained environments can significantly enhance employee morale and satisfaction, ultimately boosting productivity.
Equipment Solutions
Cleaning your service bay also doesn’t have to be difficult. When dealing with stubborn soils like oil and grease every day, the best long-term solution is to utilize modernized cleaning equipment such as sweepers and floor scrubbers. Whether you choose a ride-on or walk-behind model, these machines reduce physical strain on your employees while simultaneously improving cleaning efficiency.
Ongoing Staff Training
At the end of the day, we understand that cleaning is not always top of mind for repair staff, which is why Americhem offers complimentary training on essential cleaning procedures and best practices to keep your facility compliant and looking its best.
Ready to get started?
With the right equipment, training, and products from Americhem, maintaining clean and professional service bays becomes the easiest part of your team’s day. When you partner with Americhem, we let your team focus on what they do best: serving your customers.
Wash Bays
Facilities with dedicated wash bays, whether for staff or public use, require routine maintenance and restocking to ensure smooth operations. Commonly restocked supplies in these areas include detergents, glass cleaners, and tools such as pressure washers, squeegees, and brushes.
If your shop uses specialized vehicle care products such as presoak, tire shine, or waxes, we offer a complete line of professional-grade options to meet your exact needs. These types of cleaning chemicals are typically concentrated to effectively cut through grease and grime on vehicles.
Because of this, ensuring that your team has the proper PPE and follows safe chemical handling procedures is essential for both staff safety and OSHA compliance.
With Americhem, you’ll have the right products, tools, and training to keep your wash bays stocked and ready for use. Explore our recommended products below or contact our team for customized solutions today!
Offices
With employees moving in and out of back offices throughout the day, it’s easy for soils and grime to be tracked in and transferred to floors, carpets, desks, and even computers. Each surface requires its own set of products and equipment to ensure a thorough clean without risking damage, and Americhem offers it all.Â
For delicate surfaces such as keyboards, remotes, and monitors, we offer disinfecting wipes that safely eliminate 99.9% of germs. For your more demanding jobs, our heavy-duty cleaners, formulated for industrial applications, can quickly cut through grease, fingerprints, and other buildup on desks and hard surfaces.
Accidents happen, and when they do, our commercial extractors make it simple to spot-treat stains on carpets or upholstered furniture. To speed up drying times, pair them with one of our compact air blowers for a fast, efficient finish. For your everyday cleaning routine, Americhem prioritizes worker safety and air quality. Our industrial vacuums are equipped with HEPA filtration, which captures even the smallest particulates, helping to maintain a cleaner, healthier, and compliant work environment.

Bathrooms & Hand Washing Stations
Bathrooms are one of the most critical areas for disrupting the chain of infection in your facility. Keeping these spaces clean and stocked helps maintain a positive impression with both employees and customers. Read on to learn more about the key cleaning considerations.
Hand Hygiene
Make it as easy as possible for staff and visitors to clean their hands by keeping all dispensers and supplies consistently stocked, including essential items such as toilet paper, paper towels, soap, sanitizer, and can liners.
If you have separate hand washing stations, you will, of course, want to routinely inspect these spaces for all of the relevant maintenance items listed above, as well.
Surface Sanitization
The second half of a good bathroom cleaning routine includes sanitizing and disinfecting high-touch surfaces. Regularly disinfecting common touchpoints helps prevent customers and staff from re-infecting their hands with germs after they have been cleaned. Once those germs leave the restroom, they can be spread across your facility to other employees and customers.
Some of the key high-touch surfaces to prioritize in your restroom include:Â
- Sink handlesÂ
- Toilet flusherÂ
- Door handlesÂ
- Manual dispensers
Odor Control
Odors are an inescapable part of restrooms in every type of facility. There are several strategies you can use to mitigate this, including using urinal cakes, urinal shields, and various air fresheners. Browse our catalog of deodorizers here.
Waste Management & Floor Care
Another aspect of maintaining your restrooms in good working condition is regularly disposing of trash to prevent overflows. Let us help fit your trash cans with the right size liners so you can keep your bathroom can liners stocked and save money at the same time.Â
Additionally, at the end of the day, and as needed, you also want to have all the necessary cleaning supplies and tools to keep your bathroom floors cleaned. Our top floor cleaning chemicals are highlighted in the product drop-down below.Â
We offer a range of can liners, cleaning equipment, and chemicals, ensuring you can find a suitable combination that meets all your needs.
SSOPs & Signage
To go the extra mile in your facility, Americhem can help you develop SSOPs (Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures) and create signage for reminding staff of sanitization steps in critical areas. For auto repair facilities, this may include hand-washing steps, spill cleanup steps, or other tailored protocols specific to your operation.

Featured Products & Tools
Shop Exterior
The exterior of your building deserves its own cleaning routine to ensure your facility looks professional and inviting from every angle. Depending on the task, oil spills can sometimes extend beyond your service bays, reaching parking lots, walkways, or other transitional areas. Keeping these areas clean and slip-free is crucial for the safety of both staff and customers.
To make outdoor maintenance easier, we offer a range of scrubbers and sweepers designed for both indoor and outdoor use. These versatile machines handle the heavy lifting when maintaining large spaces in and around your shop. Need a tool with more power? Look no further than our commercial pressure washers. These powerful pieces of equipment will help you easily remove dirt, grime, and grease from building exteriors, sidewalks, and even cars.Â
Want to take things a step further? Stop dirt at the door by implementing a matting system throughout your shop. Proper matting not only helps keep facilities cleaner but also improves safety by reducing slips and increasing traction in wet or snowy conditions.
By keeping your exterior spaces as clean and functional as your interior, you create a safer and more welcoming environment for customers, while also making it easier to maintain transitional spaces. Contact us today to get started!

Waiting Areas & Checkout Counters
The waiting and checkout areas of your repair shop are where customers spend the majority of their time during a visit. Whether this time is brief or extended, customers expect a clean, organized environment that reflects the professionalism of your team.
Because these spaces experience constant foot traffic, surfaces such as front counters, tables, and payment stations often become some of the most germ-prone areas in your entire shop. To maintain a hygienic and welcoming environment, it’s essential to equip your team with easy-to-use cleaning tools, such as disinfecting wipes, microfiber cloths, and spray cleaners, for quick touch-ups throughout the day.
Not sure where to start? Our team of experts can train your staff on best practices for daily cleaning and sanitization. Contact us to schedule a complimentary facility evaluation and develop a tailored cleaning plan that supports your goals for both staff and customer safety.Â
Storage Areas
Storage areas in your auto repair shop play a crucial role in maintaining organization and ensuring you can serve your customers and perform tasks efficiently. Whether it be tools, parts, and especially your cleaning supplies themselves, these storage spaces require proper organization to ensure staff safety, compliance, and ease of use.Â
Because many of the items stored in these areas can be hazardous if mishandled, proper labeling and organization are key. As your partner, Americhem will work with you to help organize your cleaning storage areas and supply you with OSHA-compliant labels for all cleaning supplies and chemicals.Â
Be sure to continue doing your due diligence in your other storage spaces by regularly inspecting them for leaks, spills, and expired products. This minimizes the risk of accidents and possible vehicle damage.Â
To take your storage management to the next level, start working with Americhem today! From education to PPE to tools, we have everything you need to keep your storage spaces organized and clean.
Breakrooms
Break rooms are where employees eat, drink, and relax during their workday, making these spaces high-risk for the spread of germs and pathogens. If not appropriately maintained, they can become one of the most significant sources of cross-contamination and illness within your facility.Â
When break rooms are not cleaned or stocked with the necessary supplies for staff to maintain personal hygiene, those germs can quickly spread from one employee to another. This usually happens through high-touch surfaces such as door handles, tables, chairs, microwaves, and refrigerators.
One sick employee can easily lead to an outbreak that spreads through your shop. If multiple team members call off, it can severely delay the completion of scheduled work, leading to unhappy customers and potentially lost revenue. To prevent or greatly limit this from happening, ensure that cleaners, such as disinfectants, as well as consumables like paper towels, hand soap, and trash liners, are always stocked and on hand.Â
You will also want to establish a regular cleaning routine for these high-risk areas, such as the break room. This routine will depend on your individual facility; however, the team here at Americhem has decades of experience training employees on customized cleaning routines for this exact reason. Keep your peace of mind, and work with Americhem for your breakroom cleaning needs! Contact us here to learn more.Â
