Facility and non-food-contact areas
We clean general facility areas, non-food-contact surfaces, and equipment exteriors. These tasks are distinct from the sanitation procedures used for food-contact surfaces and production equipment.
Food-contact surface cleaning
Cleaning follows your facility’s sanitation standard operating procedures (SSOPs) or other site protocols. We use the specified products and label directions, cleaning sequence, and waste-handling procedures for the included surfaces.
Production line equipment
Production line cleaning and sanitation cover the equipment and tasks identified in your agreement. Methods account for sensitive components, the equipment’s operating state, and safe access to the cleaning areas.

Working within your sanitation schedule
Food plants plan sanitation around production runs. We schedule cleaning in the windows your team sets, follow the sequence in your procedures and leave each area ready for your inspection.
Facility areas, such as corridors, locker rooms and break areas, can be cleaned on a separate routine so they do not compete with production sanitation time.
A few useful answers
Questions about food manufacturing cleaning
Who handles energy isolation and equipment restart?
Energy isolation, production release, and restart remain outside the cleaning service unless separately confirmed and assigned.
Does cleaning include equipment repair or disassembly?
Equipment operation, disassembly, maintenance, repair, and calibration are outside the cleaning service unless separately confirmed and assigned.
Who inspects the work and releases the production area?
Your facility’s documented procedures assign inspection, release, and restart responsibilities. The cleaning agreement records the handoff between your staff and the cleaning team.
Can facility areas follow a different schedule from production areas?
Yes. Corridors, locker rooms and break areas can be cleaned on their own routine.
