The Challenge

A retail company was faced with a significant mould contamination issue in their storeroom. Following an initial inspection, it was evident that all remaining shoe boxes and the entire storeroom needed comprehensive treatment to manage and eliminate microbial presence. The scope of work was extensive, covering not only the inventory but also all aspects of the storeroom, including fixed fixtures and movable storage racks. Ensuring a thorough cleanse while minimising disruption to the store’s operations posed a considerable challenge.

The Solution

To effectively address the contamination issue, a detailed action plan was executed. First, all salvaged shoe boxes were thoroughly wiped down and treated with antimicrobials to eradicate any microbial growth. Subsequently, the storeroom underwent a comprehensive cleaning regimen that included washing and treating all shelving, fixed fixtures, and movable storage racks with antimicrobials to ensure complete surface disinfection. Finally, the flooring throughout the storage area was meticulously cleaned and scrubbed, with further antimicrobial treatments applied to secure a thorough sanitisation of the entire space.

The Outcome

The systematic cleaning and treatment process led to the successful sanitisation of the storeroom and inventory. Post-treatment tests confirmed a significant reduction in microbial activity, meeting health and safety standards. The retail store was able to resume normal operations quickly with minimal disruption. This intervention by our professional mould cleaners not only safeguarded the stock from potential damage but also reinforced the store’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment for both employees and customers.
