Kitchen & General-Purpose Cleaners for Hospitality & Facilities in Namibia

Cernol publishes a dedicated Hospitality Catalogue for a reason: a Namibian lodge or hotel kitchen runs restaurant volumes on remote-site logistics, and the housekeeping trolley is the brand experience on wheels. The everyday range — Dishwash, Brilliant, Greasolv, Mrs Clean, Steripine, Bluetrain — is the catalogue’s opening chapter.

The local problems this range solves

  • Guest kitchens judged nightly at restaurant standard
  • Housekeeping consistency across rooms and staff
  • Remote-site stock control between deliveries
  • Oven, canopy and braai grease as fire load
  • Washrooms as the guest’s hygiene verdict

Compliance & documentation

Tourism-grading and health inspections both walk the kitchen and washrooms first; the catalogue set with a posted routine is the pass.

Local tip

Keep the guest-area products fragrance-consistent (Bluetrain’s lavender or Steripine’s pine, not both at once in one space) — guests read mixed chemical fragrance as “masked”, single fragrance as “clean”.

Kitchen & General for hospitality & facilities: asked and answered

What does the housekeeping trolley carry in a Cernol-supplied lodge?

Six lines cover a room: Bluetrain (the lavender general-purpose from the hospitality catalogue) for surfaces and floors, Mrs Clean for scuffs and basins, Steripine for the bathroom, Bowl Cleanse for the toilet, Windowklene for glass and mirrors, and a colour-coded cloth set so the toilet cloth never meets the glassware shelf. Standardising the trolley is how twenty rooms get the same result from five different housekeepers.

How does a lodge kitchen manage grease on a braai-and-buffet cycle?

Greasolv on a schedule tied to the menu: extraction filters soaked weekly (a braai-heavy lodge produces canopy grease at double town-restaurant rates), ovens and stoves weekly, the canopy itself monthly, with Assault held for the heavy solvent-detergent jobs. The fire-load argument decides the schedule — a canopy fire in a bush lodge, hours from any brigade, is the scenario the weekly soak exists to prevent.

Which dishwashing setup suits guest volumes?

Machine chemistry where there is a machine: Brilliant powder (or Excel liquid) with Rinse Aid for spot-free glassware — spotted glasses at dinner undo a day of good service — and Dishwash at the pot sink only. No machine? Dishwash Econo 25 L at twin sinks with a hot final rinse and Tetramine 2008 in the sanitizing sink covers a small lodge legally and well. The hospitality catalogue lists both paths; the guest only sees the glass.

How should a remote lodge structure its cleaning stock?

Quarterly consolidated orders with a six-week buffer on the daily lines: the hospitality catalogue’s “all items available in 5 L, 25 L, 5 kg and 25 kg” exists for exactly this — bulk formats that survive storage plus small formats for the trolleys. One Cernol delivery covering housekeeping, kitchen, laundry and pool beats four suppliers’ freight to the same gate, and the stock card on the storeroom door beats every alternative to it.
