One program. Multiple floor types. Zero excuses on the audit.
This program sets the cleaning method, frequency, chemistry, and pass/fail expectation for every square foot of Sealed Concrete, Epoxy / Resinous, Luxury Vinyl Tile, and VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile) in a Perdue food-production facility. Written so an operator can execute it, a supervisor can verify it, and an auditor can score it in under 15 minutes.
- Dry sweep or vacuum BEFORE any wet pass — always.
- Correct pad color for the floor type (see SOP).
- Neutral pH daily; alkaline only where specified; never acidic on concrete or LVT.
- Wet-floor signage deployed the moment water touches floor.
- Cleaning log signed and dated every shift, per zone.
- Any FAIL on audit = area shut, re-cleaned, re-swabbed, CAPA opened.
Floor-specific cleaning method
Epoxy / Resinous
Flake and solid color — locker rooms, break rooms, high-traffic corridors
What gets done, how often, to what standard
| Task | Sealed Concrete | Epoxy / Resinous | LVT | VCT | Acceptance Standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dry sweep / vacuum | Daily | Every shift (3×) | Daily | Daily | No visible debris, dust, or food particles |
| Wet scrub (auto-scrubber) | Weekly | Daily | 2× / week | Daily | No fat film, no streaks, floor dry within 10 min of pass |
| Spot mop spills | As needed <5 min | As needed <2 min | As needed <5 min | As needed <5 min | Wet-floor sign deployed; area dry before removed |
| Deep clean / sanitize | Monthly | Weekly | Monthly | Monthly (deep-scrub, no strip) | Chlorinated foam or peroxide, 5 min dwell, full rinse, ATP swab <30 RLU |
| Burnish / restore finish | N/A | N/A | N/A | Weekly (1500+ RPM) | Uniform high gloss, no swirl marks, no burn spots |
| Strip & re-coat | N/A | N/A | N/A | Quarterly · 4-coat finish | Old finish fully removed, 4 thin coats, 30-min recoat window, no roller marks |
| Drain flush (adjacent) | Weekly | Daily | N/A | N/A | No standing water, no odor, no biofilm at grate |

What PASS, CONDITIONAL, and FAIL actually mean
No visible soil, no streaks, no odor. Dry within 10 min of scrubber pass. ATP <30 RLU on swab. All logs current, signed, dated.
Minor soil in <5% of area OR one log missing signature. Must be corrected same shift. Re-inspected within 24 h.
Visible fat film, standing water, missing wet-floor sign, ATP >100 RLU, or 2+ logs missing. Area shut down until re-cleaned and re-swabbed. Corrective Action opened with root cause within 48 h.

No login. Take a picture of the stain or soil, add an optional note (floor type, location), and the analyzer prescribes the correct manufacturer product (Genesan, Hillyard, Envirox) plus equipment, PPE, and verification.
Live audit scorecard — police the program
Walk the zone. Mark each item PASS or FAIL. Score updates automatically. 95%+ with zero FAIL = audit ready. 85–94% = conditional (fix same shift). Below 85% or any FAIL on a weighted safety/sanitation item = shutdown & CAPA.
