Keeping Your Cold Room Clean and Mould-Free

Mould is a product of the moisture and humidity in the air within a cold room.

Although the chances of mould growth are less if the commercial air conditioning Perth within the cold room is clean and regularly maintained, a neglected, broken or undermaintained system can give mould a chance to breed, damaging stored products.

 

Ways to keep your cold room clean

First, maintaining the hygiene is the key to keeping your cold room clean. The best way to ensure cleanliness is to sanitise all the floors, walls, and other surfaces. Anyone entering the premises should wear a head cap, hand gloves, and feet covers to avoid spreading any germs.
