Hand & Skin Care for Food & Beverage in Namibia

Wet, wash with Chemkleen Clear (the food-industry disinfecting hand soap on the sheet) for the full lather time, rinse, dry with single-use paper, then Antisep 100 at the door as the alcohol finish. The sequence matters: sanitizer on unwashed hands disinfects the dirt, not the skin. Position the basin so the flow is unavoidable — plants where the wash point is a detour get detour-level compliance.

A genuinely mild soap matters most — Chemkleen is formulated as a hand and body soap for repeated daily use, unlike degreasing products that strip skin. Cracked skin is not just a comfort issue in food production: fissures harbour exactly the bacteria the washing is meant to remove, so skin condition is hygiene, and auditors versed in EU practice treat it that way.

No — gloves supplement washed hands, never substitute for them: a glove donned over contaminated skin contaminates its own outside within minutes of the first adjustment. Wash and sanitize, then glove, and change gloves at the same triggers you would re-wash. Cernol supplies nitrile and latex options from the consumables range alongside the soap line, so the whole hand-hygiene station arrives on one order.

Refill logs proving dispensers are stocked, the products’ data sheets on file (Chemkleen Clear’s disinfecting claim, Antisep 100’s WHO-compliant formulation), the wash-procedure poster at each station, and evidence of skin-condition management (glove issue records and skin checks). Cernol provides the documentation half of that with the products. Auditors rarely watch anyone wash; they read whether the system around washing is real.
