When the Records and the Floor Tell the Same Story, Your Facility Demonstrates Excellence.
StartKleen builds sanitation programs around documentation, trained crews, and nightly verification, making audit readiness an ongoing process rather than a last-minute effort.
We partner with your plant leadership, and QA team to execute and document the sanitation program at your facility. Our job is to support your management team with consistent execution, trained site leadership, and records that are ready when they’re needed, whether it’s tonight’s pre-op or next month’s certification audit.
Audit Readiness Starts on the Third Shift
Food plants run into audit pressure when the sanitation program on paper doesn’t match what’s happening on the floor.
Training records exist, but can’t be produced quickly when an auditor asks for them.
Procedures are written, but execution varies between shifts or after crew turnover.
Chemical documentation is incomplete.
The sanitation provider staffs the floor but doesn’t bring the management depth, documentation systems, or verification processes auditors expect.
When this gap shows up during a third-party audit or regulatory inspection, the plant bears the responsibility of the finding.
StartKleen partners with your plant leadership to build a sanitation operation where documentation, training, chemical concentration verification, and nightly execution are managed as one system, verified every shift, so your plant can start clean each day.
Built for the Way Auditors Actually Evaluate
We work alongside your team to execute and document the sanitation program in a way your facility can stand behind during certification and regulatory audits.
Documentation & Records
We maintain the master sanitation schedule, chemical titration records, training records, internal audit results, and nightly audit notes at every facility. When an auditor asks, the documentation is already there.
Trained & Verified Crews
Every employee enters structured training from day one and continues with weekly sessions after onboarding. Every session is documented so we can show who was trained, on what topic, when it happened, and how it was delivered.
Chemical Control & Verification
StartKleen matches the chemistry to the soil, the surface, and the operational risk at your facility through StartKleen Solutions. Concentration is verified at the point of use and titration is documented every shift.
Internal Audits & Ongoing Review
Our internal audits create an ongoing picture of sanitation performance at your facility. When issues are found, they are corrected before the certification body arrives.
Site Leadership & Management Depth
Every facility is supported by experienced site leadership backed by regional and corporate management. Managers are equipped to walk an auditor through every step of the nightly process.
Pre-Op Verification & Escalation
Sanitation has to be verified before production starts. When something doesn’t meet our standard, the response is immediate: hold the area, reclean, reinspect, document the issue, and follow through.
Certifications & Regulatory Frameworks We Support
We work alongside your team to execute and document the sanitation program in a way your facility can stand behind during certification and regulatory audits.
SQF (Safe Quality Food)
Documentation, training records, chemical verification, and internal audit processes maintained as part of daily operations to support SQF certification readiness.
BRC / BRCGS
Sanitation programs defined, trained, implemented, reviewed, and corrected in alignment with BRC Global Standards requirements.
GFSI
Consistent, documented sanitation execution built to meet the benchmarking expectations recognized by GFSI across certification schemes.
ETI (Ethical Trade Initiative)
Documented labor practices, safety systems, and workforce training to help clients demonstrate responsible contractor partnerships.
USDA & FDA Regulatory Inspections
Records, procedures, and floor-level execution to support your facility during regulatory compliance reviews and inspections.
What Your Facility Receives
Your team and your auditors should never have to guess what happened on the third shift. These records are maintained as part of our standard sanitation operation at every facility we support.
Master Sanitation Schedule (MSS) completion records
Chemical titration verification logs
Training documentation
Internal audit results and corrective action tracking
Nightly audit notes and escalation records
Pre-op verification documentation
The exact report package can vary by facility, but the goal is the same: clear communication, documented execution, and a record of issues and corrective actions when they happen. If an auditor asks for it, we already have it.
