“Shadow boards are a brilliant way to standardise and organise colour-coded cleaning equipment in a Food & Beverage environment.
They ensure the right tool can be kept in the right place and stored in a hygienic manner as per audit standards.
By storing the equipment hygienically, you have peace of mind the equipment will deliver as expected every time it is being used.”

The Importance of Correct Cleaning Tool Storage

Proper storage of cleaning equipment is a critical factor in the food industry, and for good reason. Global food safety standards, such as BRC, mandate the need for suitable storage of cleaning tools. According to BRCGS: 4.11.6, it is stipulated that 'Cleaning equipment shall be cleaned and stored in a hygienic manner.' Failure to comply with these requirements may result in a non-conformance.

Vikan cleaning tools storage solutions, including shadow boards and a variety of wall brackets, are designed to increase cleaning efficiency and reduce tool damage and cross-contamination.
