When it comes to the food and beverage industry, every second of production matters. A single sanitation lapse can ripple across operations, jeopardising product quality, compliance, and brand reputation. This is where Advanced Cleaning Services (ACS) steps in, not only as a cleaning provider but also as a trusted partner in safeguarding your facility.
Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities
When ACS takes on a new facility, we often inherit teams who may not have received consistent hygiene training. Instead of viewing this as a challenge, we see it as an opportunity.
Through optional retraining and onboarding programmes, staff gain a deep understanding of the ACS standard of excellence. This approach maintains operational continuity, enhances productivity, and instills best-in-class practices from day one.
As Dean, ACS founder, explains:
“The benefits we offer food and beverage manufacturers are in our brand, safeguarding operations for over 20 years. This allows companies to focus on production, knowing hygiene and sanitation are in safe, professional hands.”
Empowering Teams, Protecting Brands
At ACS, we’re committed to delivering exceptional cleaning standards while helping our clients build stronger, more resilient operations. Our structured, verifiable cleaning processes ensure that production environments remain compliant, safe, and audit-ready.
Whether we retrain existing staff or deploy our own trained professionals, the result is a seamless transition with minimal disruption and measurable improvements in hygiene standards. Retention rates of over 98% on new contracts demonstrate our commitment to continuity and staff empowerment.
Felicity Khumalo, HR Director at ACS, emphasises the importance of a supportive work culture:
“We focus on people and growth. From staff meetings to learnership programmes, we ensure our teams are motivated, trained, and ready to maintain the highest standards. When employees thrive, the business thrives, and our clients benefit.”
A Comprehensive Hygiene Solution
ACS’s services extend far beyond surface cleaning. We handle allergens, dust, and high-risk zones while providing real-time reporting and audit-ready documentation.
