Cleaning and Compliance: Preparing Your Cardiff Manufacturing Site for Inspections
If your manufacturing site in Cardiff is due for an audit or inspection, your cleaning routine could make all the difference. Whether it’s a health and safety check, an insurance review, or an industry-specific audit like BRC or ISO, cleanliness is a key part of passing with confidence.
At Maid to Help Cleaning Specialists, we work closely with Cardiff manufacturers to help them get inspection-ready with professional, compliant cleaning that meets the standards inspectors expect. Here’s what you need to know.
Inspections and Cleaning Go Hand in Hand
Auditors and inspectors are not just looking at your production output. They want to see a safe, hygienic and well-managed site. Cleanliness shows that you take compliance seriously, and it reduces the risk of any red flags during the process.
Failing to meet hygiene expectations can result in:
Delayed certifications
Negative audit outcomes
Extra costs for re-inspections
Reputational damage or reporting
Having a cleaning plan in place — and a team that delivers consistently — makes inspections less stressful and much more straightforward.
Focus on High-Risk Areas
Some parts of your site are more likely to draw attention from inspectors. These often include:
Machinery zones where grease or dust builds up
Staff kitchens and restrooms
Walkways, loading bays and entry points
Waste and storage areas
Any places where food, packaging or sensitive products are handled
Our cleaning plans are built to prioritise these areas without disrupting your team or workflow. We focus on visibility, hygiene and safety — all things that inspectors will be checking for.
Documented Procedures and COSHH Compliance
It’s not just about looking clean. Inspectors often ask to see evidence that your cleaning is done safely and to the right standard. That means:
Using COSHH-compliant products
Following written cleaning schedules
Demonstrating awareness of cross-contamination risks
Managing waste correctly
Having procedures in place for accidents or spills
At Maid to Help, we can help you prepare the right documentation and ensure your cleaning is backed by a clear, reliable system.
Flexible Cleaning That Fits Your Schedule
Inspections don’t always happen on your terms. That’s why we offer flexible cleaning services that fit around production cycles and short notice periods.
Whether you need a one-off deep clean, increased frequency before an audit or regular support to stay consistently compliant, we’ll build a plan that works for your site and your timeline.
