What does it take to clean a coffee silo you can't even reach?
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁, 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.
This wasn’t your average pressure-wash-and-go project.
Clean Metro was brought into the Keurig site in Moore, SC, mid-construction, in a high-stakes, right-on-the-clock situation.
The mission? Clean a 90-foot green coffee bean silo, stairs, and the support structure… after they were already installed inside the facility.
No time to clean it before installation. Now it was tucked inside, surrounded by six levels of process piping and tight mezzanine space.
Add in GMP compliance, confined access, and zero room for shortcuts, and you’ve got a real challenge.
So how’d we solve it?
We worked closely with Gray Construction’s team and went in on a cost-plus model (not typical, but that’s what trust does).
We installed mobile fall protection systems using 3M gear rated at 10,000 lbs, within 30 minutes, fully secure, and fully mobile.
We equipped our team with KASK helmets with chin straps (so secure, Gray later made them mandatory across subs).
We avoided ladders where unsafe. Instead, our team navigated beams with full protection, no compromise.
From that silo, we moved into the roasting room, cleaning around Italian roasters, platforms, and more tight mezzanine setups.
Shoutout to United Rentals, who had our back for extended lift needs and support.
What mattered most?
We coordinated with the GC, owner’s rep, and Keurig site managers, every single step, to ensure we met the standards for GMP-level readiness.
Real work. Real risk. Zero shortcuts.
Big thanks to the folks we worked closely with on-site:
Riley, Murtaugh, Bailey, Hass, Ward, Lutz, Killinger

Need cleaning that goes beyond ladders and lifts? Let’s talk.
