Refrigerator cleaning as your own brand

We formulate cleaning products that maintain efficiency down to refrigerator temperature, targeted at mold and odors in food storage.

Why cold makes chemistry more difficult, not easier

Most cleaning and disinfection products lose their effectiveness at low temperatures, which is exactly what the environment of a cold room offers. Cold room cleaning formulations are formulated to maintain effectiveness down to refrigerator temperature, targeting condensation-related mold growth and the odors that otherwise build up in closed food storage areas.

Disinfection techniques and material durability

The choice between chlorine-based and quaternary disinfection techniques is determined by the material resistance of the shelves, walls, and floor drains in the cold room, and both require documented efficacy at the lowest temperature the product must withstand. This is the technical difference compared to a conventional surface disinfection formulation formulated for room temperature conditions.

Our chemists help you customize the refrigerator cleaning according to your market.

Our chemist team helps you to create the perfect composition for your cold room cleaner. You work directly with our experts: Helena, a senior chemist with 25 years of industry experience, Carl, a Bachelor’s degree chemist with expertise in modern formulations, and Kelly, our administrative chemist who ensures that all laws, regulations, and guidelines are followed to the letter.

So we help you develop your own refrigerator cleaning routine

1) Product proposals: We listen to your needs, your vision for design, colour and fragrance – and your ecolabelling goals. The product is designed to meet legal requirements and, if you wish, the criteria of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Bra Miljöval or the EU Ecolabel.

2) Sample and price: We provide samples and price proposals based on our needs analysis. You will have the opportunity to try the product and ensure that it fulfils your requirements before making a decision.

3) Authorisation: Once we agree on price and results, you authorise the product for production.

4) Launch: We handle the purchase of materials and manufacture the product in our factory, where the quality management system is certified to ISO 9001. When the products are ready for sale, we deliver them to you on pallets.

Industries where the need is greatest

Food storage and refrigeration in restaurant kitchens and large kitchens, as well as refrigerated displays in grocery stores’ fresh food departments, where both hygiene requirements and a uniform, neutral smell are crucial for how the food is perceived by the customer when serving.

Common questions about private label refrigerator cleaning

Why isn't a regular cleaning agent enough in the cold room?

Most formulations lose effectiveness at low temperatures, while the cooling room cleaning is designed to operate down to refrigerator temperature.

Does the product address both mold and odor?

The formulation can be targeted at just mold and surface mold or expanded with odor control depending on need.

Is the same product used in the refrigerated shelves of stores as in restaurant kitchens?

The principle is the same, but the concentration and disinfection techniques are adapted to the operating temperature and material durability in the respective environment.

Can the same product be used in both the cold storage and freezer rooms?

No, a freezer environment requires a lower operating threshold than what a refrigerator formulation is designed for.

Case

Häxan AB

One successful customer case that we are extremely proud of is our collaboration with Häxan AB. Super entrepreneur Mikael Söderlindh bought the company with the aim of creating top-class cleaning products that carry a recognised ecolabel such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel – and we took full responsibility for both production and getting the label approved. The goal was to match or surpass the leading products on the market, and to get more companies and consumers to choose ecolabelled cleaning products.

COOP Trading AB

One of our most successful collaborations is with COOP Trading AB. At Cleano, we have helped them in particular to create three different brands in their range. It starts with us creating the recipes. Then we allow COOP to design the product design based entirely on their wishes. Afterwards, we purchase the inputs – such as bottles, labels, caps or spray guns – and deliver them to COOP in cartons.
