Spring Cleaning for Your Shop

Written by Kimball Midwest | February 2, 2023

Depending on where you live, you might be seeing the first signs of spring.

Even if you look out the window and still see significant snow, spring’s surely on its way, so now is a great time to make sure you’re ready for some spring cleaning.

Spring is the perfect time for cleaning and getting a fresh start for the rest of the year, and as a full-line supplier of maintenance, repair and operations products, Kimball Midwest has the products you need to clean and organize your shop.

We’ve gathered a selection of products perfect for those cleaning efforts:

 

Gloves

Our ultimate nitrile foam-dipped gloves are silicone free and flexible for dexterity, sensitivity, tactility and comfort. Available in medium, large and XL, they’re ideal for cleaning, as well as handling oily parts, general assembly, machining, automotive components, painting and maintenance.

 

Wipes

Pro-Clean 2 Heavy-Duty Wipes provide shop towel performance in a tough, durable, disposable wipe. That means 33% thicker construction than conventional DRC wipes for increased tear resistance and liquid absorption.

 

Glass Cleaner and Wipes

With Ultra-Clear glass cleaner and wipes, you have two options for glass cleaning that won’t leave rainbows or film behind.

 

Heavy Duty Cleaner

Our Paramount is a highly concentrated cleaner formulated for multi-purpose cleaning. It instantly dissolves and emulsifies oil, grease and tough soils and can be diluted up to 1:40 for effective cleaning on a variety of surfaces.

 

General Purpose Cleaner

With Citri-Blast Maxx, you’ll get a citrus-based formula that dissolves contaminants quickly and easily.

 

Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish

This cleaner helps restore original luster on stainless steel and other metals. It contains no acids or abrasives and leaves no powdery residue.

 

Aluminum Cleaner

This cleaner brightens and cleans aluminum surfaces and air conditioning coils. It’s ideal for use on aluminum trailers, aluminum and copper coils, cooling units and air conditioner fins.

 

Carpet Cleaner

Magnum Hi-Power Carpet Spotter gets out tough stains and odor, quickly saturating the material for instant cleaning action. The pinpoint spray concentrates the cleaner on stains and spots without excessive overspray.

 

Paint

Another excellent way to make things look cleaner is a fresh coat of paint. Kimball Midwest sells an extensive variety of paints headlined by our Ultra Pro-Max line.

The amount of paint solids in Ultra Pro-Max is extremely high. Because of this, it takes two to three cans of a typical paint to give you the coverage of one can of Ultra Pro-Max. Plus, because you need to apply fewer cans of paint per job, there’s a big savings in time.

Black and white are our most popular colors, but we also have many colors designed to match most common equipment color schemes.

Of course, if you’re painting, you’ll need accessories like painters’ tape and abrasives to prepare the surfaces you plan to paint.

 

Storage Equipment

If you don’t have the right equipment to store the things you use in your shop, making that investment is one of the best ways to improve cleanliness and organization. Taking the time to remove clutter and get organized will be well worth it in the weeks, months and years to come.

Kimball Midwest has the perfect storage equipment for virtually any situation, including bins, drawers, racks, cabinets, bags and a variety of specialty storage items.
