Food production
Hygiene is audited. So the cleaning has to be.
A food business does not clean to be tidy. It cleans because someone will check. Customers’ technical teams, certification bodies and environmental health officers look at what is cleaned, how often and how well, and the questions they ask are about evidence as much as appearance. A good clean that cannot be shown to have happened is not much use on audit day.
We clean for Orchardlea Foods, a wholesale food supplier where hygiene standards are audited. That sets the bar for how we work in any food environment: agree the scope in writing, and clean to it every visit.
Production and preparation areas, storage, chillers and loading areas, and the staff welfare areas and offices around them are all within what we clean. If your audit needs a record of what was cleaned and when, tell us at the site visit and we will agree how that is kept.
Chemicals matter in food areas. Product choice, dilution and rinsing all affect what ends up near food, and a site’s own approved list may take precedence over ours. We ask for it at the visit and agree what is used.
Allergen and cross-contact controls sit in your hygiene plan, not ours. Our job is to keep to the scope it sets, to say plainly if something in the scope does not look workable, and to leave areas ready for the next shift.
What clean means here
The standard this sector is held to.
Cleaned to your hygiene plan
Production and preparation areas are cleaned to the scope your site’s own hygiene plan sets, agreed in writing at the site visit.
Storage, chillers and loading
These areas are cleaned on a schedule and kept clear of the dirt that comes in with deliveries.
Zones kept separate
Areas with different hygiene requirements are treated as separate zones in the routine, agreed at the site visit.
A scope you can show
A written scope, a regular schedule and, where your audit needs one, a record of each visit.
What we cover
A regular clean, in full.
Frequency is set by your site: daily, weekly or to whatever schedule your production allows, at hours that keep out of the way of the line. The price is a fixed sum for the agreed scope.
No charge, no obligation.
A regular clean covers
- Production and preparation areas
- Storage, chillers and loading areas
- Staff welfare, washrooms and offices
At the free site visit we look at
- Your hygiene plan and the zones in it, so the scope matches how your site already works.
- What your auditors and customers ask for, and what record of each clean you need.
- Your approved products and any site rules on allergens, PPE and access.
- Production times and downtime, so cleaning stays out of the way of the line.

Questions
Food production questions.
If what you need isn’t here, ask. We’d rather give you a straight answer than have you guess.
Ask us a questionCan you clean to the standard our auditors expect?
We cannot pass an audit for you, and we will not pretend to. What we do is clean to the scope your hygiene plan sets, agreed in writing, the same way each visit, so the cleaning side of your audit is consistent.
Can you keep a record of each clean?
Tell us what your audit needs at the site visit and we will agree how it is recorded.
Can you work around production?
Yes. Early mornings, evenings and weekends are all normal for commercial work, and access is agreed in writing before the first visit.
Which products do you use in food areas?
We ask for your approved product list at the site visit and agree what is used. Everything comes with us as standard, including commercial machines where the job needs them.
Do you clean the offices and welfare areas on the same contract?
Yes. Production and storage areas, staff welfare areas, washrooms and offices can all sit on one contract, with one named contact and the same small team.
