BRCGS Audit Cleaning

Expert BRCGS Audit Preparation for Food Manufacturers

Achieving an ‘AA’ grade in a BRCGS audit requires more than just daily housekeeping. As auditors move toward more unannounced inspections, your facility must be “audit-ready” every day. BRC audit cleaning is a specialist discipline that focuses on the high-level, deep-seated, and technical areas that standard cleaning cycles often miss.

At The Real Cleaning Company, we specialise in helping food manufacturers eliminate the risk of non-conformances. Our protocols are aligned with BRCGS Issue 9 site standards, focusing on the prevention of foreign body contamination, allergen cross-contact, and pathogenic build-up. We provide the deep-cleaning expertise necessary to protect your certification, your brand, and your retail contracts.

What our BRC Audit Cleaning includes

Our comprehensive service covers all ‘high-risk,’ ‘high-care,’ and ‘ambient’ production zones to meet the most stringent auditor checklists:

• High-Level Structural Cleaning: Removal of dust, debris, and environmental contaminants from roof trusses, purlins, cable trays, and lighting.
• Technical Machinery Deep Cleans: Intricate cleaning of production lines, conveyors, and packaging equipment to remove product residue and biofilms.
• Environmental & Fabric Cleaning: Deep cleaning of hygienic wall cladding, ceilings, and floor-to-wall coving where bacteria can harbour.
• Drainage & Gully Sanitisation: Specialist cleaning of floor drainage systems to mitigate the risk of Listeria and other pathogens.
• Ventilation & Extraction: Cleaning of air handling units and ductwork to prevent the circulation of airborne contaminants.

Specialist Methods for Total Compliance

To meet the rigorous demands of food safety audits, we employ advanced cleaning technologies that deliver results where traditional methods fail:

• Dry Ice Blasting: An FDA-approved, moisture-free cleaning method perfect for removing carbon build-up or residues from electrical components and sensitive machinery.
• Vapour Steam Cleaning: Utilising high-temperature dry steam to sanitise surfaces and kill bacteria without the need for excessive water or harsh chemicals.
• HEPA-Filtered Extraction: Using specialist industrial vacuums to ensure that fine dust is captured and removed from the environment, not redistributed.
• ATP & Hygiene Verification: We can facilitate pre- and post-clean testing to provide objective proof of surface cleanliness for your audit folder.
