What is deep cleaning in a supermarket and why does it matter?
Supermarkets are busy, really busy, welcoming hundred of shoppers each day. We've all come to expect gleaming displays of fresh produce, spotless refrigeration and an overall pleasant shopping experience. With so many people passing through, its not a surprise to find that supermarkets require a lot of cleaning to maintain a clean and pleasant environment. Of course, a routine of standard daily cleaning is essential and the day to day cleaning teams keep on top of the dirt. bacteria and general mess accumulated through the day, they tackle the accidental spills, waste bins and surface level dirt.
However more is needed to keep things looking great, that's where our teams bring the deep cleaning!
What is deep cleaning in a supermarket?
A step beyond the daily sweeping, wiping and scrubbing the floors a deep clean is a systematic process that targets the areas that aren't always included in the daily cleaning routine. It addresses those inaccessible areas that the staff cannot access during trading hours, lifting checkout belts and refrigeration grills is just not possible. Working outside of normal opening hours means that our team can get these tasks done before the store opens, continuing working with the less invasive tasks around the customers.
Deep cleaning means reaching into the floor edges and ledges, scrubbing the nooks and crannies of the glazing, shelving, tills and literally anywhere dirt can hide. We take the time to access the hard to reach areas, using high level vacuums and clean the areas that customers don't see - behind the scenes - we ensure that the warehouse is also hygienically clean. We take our time to carefully clean the staff breakout areas and toilets.
Why is periodic deep cleaning important?
Even with the in store cleaning teams following a strong daily routine, dirt and bacteria accumulate in those hard to reach areas. Periodic deep cleaning gives great benefits.
Ensuring that the food hygiene rating stays excellent is vital to supermarkets, deep cleaning helps maintain this. Health and safety inspections can be very stringent, deep cleaning helps our clients stay compliant.
A spotless appearance makes an impact, it creates confidence in customers, showing care and consideration as well as professionalism. A clean supermarket helps to build trust, customers are more likely to return to shop knowing that cleanliness is a priority.
We don't want to think about it but its a reality of urban life - food attracts pests! Removing crumbs and all spills ensures that there is nothing on site to attract rodents and insects.
Regular cleaning ensure that everything looks and works well for longer, extending the life of fixtures and fittings.
