Cold store cleaning

Cleaning of cold stores in companies that produce, process or sell food is part of every HACCP concept. Due to the temperatures of up to -20 degrees Celsius in cold stores, most cleaning processes require the cold stores to be switched off and defrosted, as water freezes on contact. This process is time consuming and costly, in addition to the enormous effort required to temporarily store the goods in suitable rooms. It is therefore very important that freezer rooms are properly cleaned.

JAY-COOL SERVICES LIMITED, a cleaning company and expert in freezer technology, cleans cold stores and freezer rooms using specialist machinery and a new dry steam process for sustainable cold store cleaning. The cold store no longer needs to be shut down during this cleaning process and remains operational throughout the cleaning process. Cleaning the cold store therefore does not mean shutting it down immediately.

The dry steam cleaning process is completely free of chemicals and splash water, making it particularly environmentally friendly and sustainable. The dirt load is picked up in the same cleaning process and professionally disposed of later. This makes cold store cleaning a professional and environmentally friendly process.

Thanks to this cleaning process, freezers and deep-freeze chambers can be cleaned regularly without hindering operation or affecting the food stored in them by interrupting cooling or aerosols, making cleaning more than just an end in itself.

Why cleaning freezer rooms is important and the right thing to do

An elementary part of the HACCP concept of every company that works with, sells or produces food is the recurring cleaning of cold stores. Contamination in cold stores is caused, among other things, by the movement of goods using pallet trucks or roller containers, but also by ‘frozen’ cartons on the floor coverings. Regular cleaning of cold stores is also important in order to remove icing and thus reduce the energy costs of your cold store.

The experienced and trained cleaning staff at JAY-COOL SERVICES LIMITED will clean your cold store throughout Europe and, if required, also outside your opening hours so as not to disrupt your operations.

The basic cold store cleaning process Preparation – planning and communication: We communicate with you to arrange a cleaning date for the cold store or freezer cleaning. If you wish, we can carry out the cleaning during the day or at night.
At least 50% of the floor space needs to be cleared to carry out the cold store cleaning.
Determining the cleaning method: Depending on the nature of the cold store, a suitable cleaning method will be determined. For example, if the cold store or freezer is to be cleaned when it is switched on, a special cleaning agent is used that can withstand temperatures down to -31 degrees and does not freeze.
Rough cleaning of the cold store: Removal of coarse dirt, packaging materials and waste. Visual inspection for damage or mould growth.
Cleaning of floor surfaces: Depending on the cleaning method, the floor surfaces in the cold store or freezer are cleaned using a scrubbing machine, special brushes and cleaning agents.
Cleaning of cold store surfaces: Walls, floors and ceilings are treated with appropriate disinfectant cleaners. Doors and door seals are also cleaned to prevent mould growth and loss of seals.
