Cupboards for Cleaning Equipment

A cupboard for cleaning equipment is an essential part of professional kitchen equipment – it ensures the separate storage of cleaning supplies and chemicals in accordance with HACCP requirements and kitchen safety regulations. BHS supplies these cupboards across Europe.

Why a separate cupboard for cleaning equipment is necessary

Cupboards for cleaning equipment are a mandatory element in a professional kitchen in compliance with food hygiene standards. HACCP compliance – cupboards for cleaning equipment ensure that cleaning chemicals and supplies are stored separately from food; a critical control point requirement. Food safety – cupboards for cleaning equipment prevent the risk of food contamination from cleaning chemicals; a locked cupboard provides additional protection. Organisation and safety – cupboards for cleaning equipment prevent buckets and mops from lying on the floor or against walls; they reduce workplace safety risks. Inventory tracking – cupboards for cleaning equipment make it easy to monitor cleaning material stocks and replenish them in a timely manner. See also metal cabinets with hinged doors.

Types and configurations of cupboards for cleaning equipment

Cupboards for cleaning equipment are available in various configurations depending on the type and volume of inventory to be stored. Cupboards for brooms and mops – cupboards for cleaning equipment with a vertically extended interior for storing brooms, mops and cleaning poles upright; with wall hooks or brackets. Cupboards for chemicals and disinfectants – cupboards for cleaning equipment with a lock for the secure storage of chemical cleaning and disinfection agents; with shelves for bottles of different sizes. Combined cupboards – cupboards for cleaning equipment with an upper section for chemicals and a lower section for larger inventory; maximising space usage. Cupboards with ventilation – cupboards for cleaning equipment with ventilation openings for drying damp inventory after use. See also cabinets with doors.

Cupboards for cleaning equipment are available in various sizes to suit the available space. Height – cupboards for cleaning equipment for pole storage are typically 1800–2000 mm high; broom and mop poles must be stored vertically. Width – cupboards for cleaning equipment are 400–600 mm wide; sufficient for storing several mops and disinfectant bottles.
