Kitchen cleaning is a specialised skill in an area where hygiene is critically important. Nova consistently meet the high standards demanded for kitchen cleaning by C.O.S.H.H. regulations and the 1990 Food Act by thorough training and qualified supervision of staff.

The key to successful kitchen cleaning is thorough training and assessment. Kitchen cleaning staff are tested on all tasks and are specially trained in-house under the supervision of the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BiCS)..

BiCS Kitchen Cleaning Operators Proficiency Certificates are awarded in three stages and operators are assessed regarding the tasks in which they have been trained. Assessments include the cleaning of:

Kitchen floors, bin areas, refridgerators, cold stores, gully/drain channels, food preparation worktops, sinks, manual and electrical cleaning equipment, low and high level walls, ovens, lifts and hoists, cutting boards, sanitary areas, ceilings, canopies, food mixers and slicers, waste disposal units, descaling and the removal of waste and cleaning receptacles.
