A reliable way to **keep vehicle cleaning and sanitization records** is to define cleaning routines by vehicle and cargo type, record each cleaning with date, responsible person, products used, and photos, block loading when cleaning is overdue, and keep the history ready for customer and regulatory audits.

In **Jestor**, vehicles, cleanings, and loads are connected, so sensitive cargo travels in clean vehicles.

## Why do cleaning records matter?

Food and pharmaceutical customers require proof of cleaning. Records are often on paper or missing.

Audits find gaps, contracts are at risk, and cross-contamination becomes a possibility.

## What problems does cleaning tracking solve?

- Missing cleaning records
- Overdue cleanings
- Audit findings
- Risk of contamination
- No photos as evidence
