You’re very diligent to clean fingerprints
and smudges on the front of your candy cases but have you given thought to how
often you clean the inside of your cases and other fixtures? This week’s tip is
to remind you that cleaning behind fixtures is just as important as cleaning
the front of cases and fixtures.
As you know, presentation matters when it comes to displaying your beautiful chocolates and candies in the store. You may not think the inside of your cases would get dirty but dust could collect there in addition to smudges from moving product in and out of the case. A pristine case will help increase the perceived value of your products so take the time to ensure it is clean both inside and out.
How often should you clean the
inside of your cases? That depends on how often the doors to the cases are
opened, when product is moved, etc. Whatever you decide, be sure it is added to
the cleaning schedule so employees don’t overlook this important task.
