How can we help?
Refrigerated containers play a critical role in the transportation of temperature-sensitive cargo, including food, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable items. The cleanliness and hygiene of these containers is paramount to ensure cargo arrives safely and in good condition. At US Depot Services, we understand the importance of proper container hygiene and offer a comprehensive container washout service that meets or exceeds the shippers standards.
Our container washout service is designed to thoroughly clean the interior of the container, including the walls, floor, and ceiling. We begin with a pre-wash inspection, which involves identifying any visible signs of damage or contamination before the washout process begins. Our team of trained professionals use specialized cleaning equipment and solutions to remove residues, bacteria, and odor from the container interior, including stubborn residues such as rust or grease. Our washout process follows an efficient protocol including a pre-rinse, wash, post wash rinse, and drying process.
