Pooraka sits about 12 kilometres north of the city, between Mawson Lakes and Gepps Cross. It's home to the Adelaide Produce Market on Burma Road, and the streets around it hold produce wholesalers, food distributors, cool stores and warehouses, with quick access to Main North Road and Port Wakefield Road.

Cleaning in Pooraka
Wholesale produce leaves soil, crushed fruit, leaves and cardboard on the floor, and wet patches turn slippery fast. Floors are swept, scrubbed and squeegeed with food-safe products, and drains and floor grates are cleared on each visit.
Cold rooms are cleaned with products suited to low temperatures and food contact, working shelf by shelf around your stock rotation. Door seals, strip curtains and the floor along the threshold get their own line, because that's where dirt builds up.
Most produce businesses have a sales office, a lunchroom and staff toilets at the front of the warehouse. Those are cleaned on their own frequency, often daily, so the people who start early walk into a clean lunchroom.

Questions
Yes. Produce businesses tend to be busiest early in the day, so the floor and docks are usually done once trading winds down and the trucks have gone. The scope sets the window, and the visit record shows when each clean happened.
Food-safe detergents and sanitisers, with safety data sheets kept on file for you. Chemicals are stored away from produce, and food-contact surfaces are rinsed where the label calls for it. The products are listed in the scope.
Mostly. Shelving is cleaned in sections, moving stock along as each section is done, and the floor is cleaned once the pallets are shifted. A full empty-room clean can be booked separately, for example after a stock clearance.
Bin bays, wash areas and the spaces behind racking are cleaned on a rotation, because food scraps there draw pests. Pest control itself stays with your licensed provider, but anything spotted, such as droppings, is flagged in the record.
Yes. Docks are swept, degreased where needed and washed down, with the water directed to the right drain for your site. It's usually weekly or fortnightly, listed separately from the daily amenities clean.
Meet us at your Pooraka site. We'll look at the warehouse floor, the cool rooms, the docks and the lunchroom, note when your trading slows, then send a written scope with the tasks, the visit times and the price.
