Among the many industries our cleaning teams serve, food processing facilities are among the most important. After all, people put trust in these facilities that the food they cook, package, and provide is safe to eat. They expect that their food was processed in a building that takes health and cleanliness seriously. This means equipment is sanitized, floors are clean, and employees follow strict regulations.
But you may be wondering why food processing facilities would consider hiring a commercial cleaning service. Well, the fact is, you want your facilities cleaned and sanitized by the best. Sub-standard cleaning jobs in the food industry can result in contamination, illness, and bad publicity. As it’s your duty to put out food products
Dedicated Cleaning and Sanitation
One of the top priorities of any food processing facility or food handling plant is to safeguard against food contamination and cross-contamination. To do this, you need to ensure that the equipment in your facility is cleaned and sanitized daily. Our cleaning teams are trained to do just that, along with refresher courses, safety training, and more to ensure you get equipment so clean you can eat off of it.
Our teams come in highly trained with the knowledge, techniques, and products that ensure the highest level of cleanliness and safety is maintained. They know what to clean, when to clean it, how to ensure disinfection, and what surfaces need the most attention throughout the food preparation process.
Theoretically the workers on the floor could be trained to properly clean the equipment. However, the time they would need to take to do a thorough job is time taken away from production work. This means less product moved, which means fewer profits. A dedicated cleaning team isn’t just a necessary expense – it can help your bottom line!
Customizable Scheduling
On that topic, it’s best to outsource the cleaning of your food processing facilities because we can customize our team’s schedule to best suit your needs. This means they can come in at times when employees are off the floor and equipment isn’t in use.
Why is this important? Because workers of all kinds are more efficient when they aren’t in each other’s way. Your workers can focus on their jobs without being interrupted by our cleaning team. Meanwhile, our team will have the time and space to thoroughly clean the equipment, facilities, and anything else required. It’s a win-win!
Improves Employee Morale
Ask yourself, “would I be happy working somewhere dirty?” The answer is probably a resounding no. Well, your workers likely feel the same. Hiring a professional cleaning service to do even basic tasks like sweeping the floors, taking out the trash, and cleaning the bathrooms is a small thing, but it shows employees that you value their comfort. It also has benefits like reducing stress, improving motivation, and keeping employees healthy.
The value of cleanliness in a food processing facility should never be underestimated. Consumers deserve products free of bacteria and cross contamination, your employees deserve safe and clean work conditions, and you deserve a cleaning team dedicated to making that happen.
