Stage 1
Intensive Deep Cleaning
The effectiveness of any disinfectant depends on the quality of the initial clean. Disinfectant should never be applied over heavy dirt, manure, dust or other organic material.
Our first stage includes:
- Initial inspection and preparation of the work area
- Protection or isolation of sensitive electrical equipment
- Removal of remaining dust, feathers, cobwebs, feed and organic deposits
- Dry cleaning of heavily contaminated areas
- Pre-soaking of stubborn contamination
- Application of a suitable agricultural detergent or foaming cleaner
- Controlled high-pressure washing from high level downwards
- Cleaning of ceilings, roof trusses, wall panels and internal surfaces
- Cleaning around doors, edges, corners and floor joints
- Cleaning of ventilation inlets, shutters and fan housings where safe
- Cleaning of floors, drainage channels and accessible equipment
- Final rinse and visual inspection
The poultry house is then allowed to drain and dry as required before disinfection begins.
