If you have hired a cool room for your business, here’s a quick guide for you to maintain it.

Cleaning

Clean your cool rooms on a regular basis. Maintaining the hygiene of cool rooms is essential to preserve the quality of the products you store in them. It is a vital step to the smooth functioning of your cool rooms.

Cleaning Procedure

Use detergents that are suitable to use in a cool room and wipe the surfaces off with a warm, damp, and soft cloth. A vacuum cleaner can also be used to remove dust or any other dried up spilt product. Clean up any kind of spillage and look out for molds and mildews. Do not use an excess amount of water as it can lead to the formation of ice chunks inside the cool room. Dry the coolroom properly and do not let any moisture build in it.

After performing the cleaning process, here are some signs that you should look out for to maintain your cool room.

• Constant Defrosting
  If you have to defrost your cool room on a daily basis, signs are the set temperature is not right or the cool room is overloaded and is unable to maintain the airflow. A freezer’s job is to freeze but if you are finding heaps of ice whenever you open the freezer, it needs to be repaired.

• Wiping Water Droplets

Continuously wiping water droplets off the surface of the cool room is a sign that the condensing system is not working fine. Either the thermostat is not working and the cool room is not cooling down efficiently or the rubber sealing is damaged. Look for the rubber sealing on the door and check the thermostat. If both are fine, there can be some other technical fault that needs to be mended.

• Persistent Noise

Every cool room or freezer has a certain kind of sound that they all make. But if your cool room has started to make weird noises that you are not familiar with, see a professional for help. It might be that the cooling fan has caught something in it or the compressor is unable to perform its function, making buzzing sounds, utilizing more energy to function and leading to high bills.

• Food Spoilage

If you notice food going bad, your coolroom needs to be repaired. If the temperature and the necessary conditions are met and the food spoilage is still happening, then it means the temperature is not being maintained throughout. Seek Kleer Cold Room guidance in this regard.
