Storage of cleaning equipment is a hot topic within the food industry and quite rightly so! Global food safety standards, including that operated by BRCGS, include the requirement for appropriate cleaning tools storage. BRCGS: 4.11.6 – ‘Cleaning equipment shall be cleaned and stored in a hygienic manner’. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in a non-conformance.

Wall brackets and shadow boards are an essential component of an effective and hygienic tool management program.

Effective (colour-coded) storage of cleaning tools can help ensure that tools are always in the right place at the right time, reducing labour costs. Tool storage systems can also prevent tools from being stored on the floor where they are more likely to become contaminated or damaged or pose a trip hazard.

Vikan cleaning tools storage solutions are designed to increase cleaning efficiency, reduce hygiene tool damage and cross-contamination.
