Cleaning + hygiene supplies for the Irish coffee + food trailer trade covers HACCP-compliant sanitisers, kitchen degreasers, dish soap, hand soap, blue roll, microfibre cloths, food-contact surface cleaners, allergen-control cleaning, oven cleaners, glass + steel polish, and the broader infection-prevention chemistry that keeps a food premises legal + inspection-ready. Most Irish trailer operators source through Dublin / Cork-based catering hygiene wholesalers + Musgrave / C&C Group cash-and-carry for higher-volume basics.
HACCP-compliant sanitisers + cleaners
EHO inspections in Ireland check that food-contact surfaces are cleaned with approved (BS EN 1276 / BS EN 13697 / EN 14476) sanitisers — Diversey Suma, Ecolab, BioHygiene, JLA, Greyland are the most-listed brands. Expect €15-€40 per 5-litre concentrate bottle (yields 250-500 spray bottles diluted). Quaternary ammonium + chlorine-based products are most common; food-safe peracetic acid for higher-risk operations. Allergen-removal cleaners (separate dedicated cleaning kit + cloth colour-coding) is required where multiple allergens are handled — Vikan colour-coded brushes + cloths are the trade standard.
Hand hygiene + skin care
EHO inspections always check hand-wash provision — a separate hand-wash basin from the food-prep sink, hot water >38°C, anti-bacterial liquid soap (BS EN 1499 minimum, ideally EN 1500 for catering), and disposable paper towels (NOT a re-usable cloth). Skin-friendly hand soap (Deb, Carex Pro, Ecolab) costs €4-€8 per 1L cartridge; alcohol gel for back-of-trailer use €5-€12 per 1L. Single-use nitrile gloves (food-grade, NOT vinyl) cost €5-€10 per box of 100 in trade quantities — change between allergen tasks.
Kitchen degreasers + oven cleaners
Heavy-duty kitchen degreasers (Diversey Suma Inox, Ecolab Greaseliner, BioHygiene Kitchen Degreaser) handle the daily cleardown on griddles, fryers, hood filters, hot plates. Cost €15-€40 per 5L. Oven cleaners (Ecolab Oven Glo, Suma Cleenoff, Astonish trade) for deep weekly cleans €18-€45 per 5L. Most Irish food trailers do a daily hot-soapy-water + sanitiser cycle on contact surfaces + a weekly deep clean on appliances; festival caterers do the deep clean Sunday night before towing home.
Floor + surface care, washroom
Trailer floor cleaning runs through standard catering floor cleaner (Suma Bac D10, Ecolab Floor Cleaner, BioHygiene Multi-Surface). Stainless steel polish (Suma Inox, JIF Stainless Steel, Astonish) for service areas. For coffee trailers: glass + chrome polish on the espresso machine at start + end of every service. Washroom is rare on Irish trailers (only larger fitouts have an onboard toilet); festival pitches use the festival's portable toilet provision + a separate cleaner kit specifically for that.
Allergen control + colour-coding
Irish FSAI guidance + EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation requires written allergen procedures for every food trailer. Most Irish trailers run Vikan colour-coded cleaning kit (red = raw meat, blue = fish, green = salads/veg, yellow = bakery, white = dairy) + a written allergen-handling procedure laminated on the trailer wall. Each shift change includes a documented hand-wash + clean-down before switching tasks. Failure to manage allergens correctly is one of the top closure-order issues in Ireland.

Cleaning + hygiene suppliers on Food Trailers Marketplace serve all 32 counties via national next-day courier from Dublin / Cork warehouses.
