Kitchen & General-Purpose Cleaners for Food & Beverage in Namibia

Around every Namibian food plant’s production hall sits the ordinary world — staff canteen, offices, ablutions, the yard — and the segmentation sheet covers it with the same four names as every depot in the country: Dishwash, Swan Pine Gel, Mrs Clean, Steripine. Cernol supplies the plant’s two worlds on one order, correctly separated.

The local problems this range solves

  • Canteen and ablution cleaning sharing space with food-safety zones
  • Non-production chemicals wandering into production areas
  • Machine dishwashing in staff canteens at shift scale
  • Drains and grease traps under canteen load
  • One store issuing chemistry for both worlds

Compliance & documentation

Zoning — which chemical and which cloth may enter which area — is the compliance theme here; colour-coding plus split invoicing makes it enforceable.

Local tip

Order the canteen’s Greasolv in 5 L, not 25 L: the smaller pack lives beside the stove where it gets used weekly, while the drum in the store gets used never.

Kitchen & General for food & beverage: asked and answered

How should production and non-production chemicals be separated in one store?

Physically and visually: separate shelving (ideally separate rooms), food-plant chemistry labelled to its zones, and the general set — Swan Pine Gel, Mrs Clean, Steripine — colour-flagged as non-production. The audit question is always “could the wrong drum reach the production hall?”, and the answer must be a system, not a memory. Cernol invoices can split the two lists so goods-in shelves them separately from day one.

What runs a staff canteen dish line feeding a full shift?

Machine chemistry, not sink liquid: Brilliant powder or Excel chlorinated liquid in the machine with Rinse Aid for spot-free drying, Dishwash only at the pot sink, and Greasolv weekly on the stove, canopy and filters. The canteen is technically outside the food-safety zone but inspectors read it as a character reference for the whole plant — a greasy canopy above the staff stove undermines an otherwise clean audit.

How do we keep canteen drains and grease traps from becoming the plant’s smell?

Soil Soft dosed into the grease trap and drain line on a maintenance schedule liquidises the organic load before it blocks or reeks, and Creomul G on the outside gully and refuse slab disinfects the film that odour and flies both live on through the hot months. A food plant with a fly problem at the canteen drain has a fly problem, full stop — the segmentation sheets list drain care for precisely this reason.

Can the general-cleaning order carry the plant’s consumables too?

Yes, and it should: dispensers, paper, colour-coded cloths, gloves, brooms and the double-bucket trolley all ride the same Windhoek delivery as the chemistry. Colour-coded cloths deserve special mention in a food business — one colour per zone (production, canteen, ablutions) makes cross-contamination visible and is one of the cheapest audit wins available. One supplier, one delivery, both worlds of the plant stocked.
