HyGo Mobile Cleaning Station

Vikan’s HyGo is the food and beverage industry’s first mobile cleaning station to combine hygiene, efficiency, and maneuverability in a purpose-built solution. Beyond elevating cleaning efforts, HyGo also conquers space challenges, lost equipment, and wasted time. HyGo easily navigates tight spaces like doorways with its narrow frame and 360-degree wheels.

The Importance of Correct Cleaning Tool Storage

Proper storage of cleaning equipment is a critical factor in the food industry, and for good reason. Global food safety standards, such as BRC, mandate the need for suitable storage of cleaning tools. According to BRCGS: 4.11.6, it is stipulated that ‘Cleaning equipment shall be cleaned and stored in a hygienic manner.’ Failure to comply with these requirements may result in a non-conformance.

Wells Vikan cleaning tools storage solutions, including shadow boards and a variety of wall brackets, are designed to increase cleaning efficiency and reduce tool damage and cross-contamination.

Book a Site Survey

If you have a factory audit scheduled for the near future, you’ll naturally want to satisfy auditors and earn a stamp of approval for your hygiene operations. A Wells Workplace Site Survey is a comprehensive review of your entire hygiene operations with a view to identify and solve hygiene problems before the auditors find them.
