Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular seaside chippy in Morecambe, needed to overhaul its damp-prone potato and dry goods storeroom. Their old metal shelving was rusting badly, posing a hygiene risk and making cleaning a constant battle.
"We were fed up with scrubbing rust and worrying about inspections. The Cambro shelves went up in an afternoon, and the difference is night and day. They just wipe clean, and there's not a spot of rust in sight. It’s made our lives so much easier."
Robert Finch – Owner, The Salty Squid
The upgrade led to a 5-star hygiene rating on their next inspection and a 20% reduction in time spent on weekly deep cleaning tasks.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack all components and check against the parts list before you begin.
- Use a rubber mallet (not a hammer) to gently tap posts and traverses into place for a secure fit.
- Build the unit in the area you plan to use it, as it can be bulky to move once fully assembled.
- When connecting multiple units, plan your post-sharing configuration first to maximise space.
Keeping It Going
- For daily cleaning, simply wipe down shelves and posts with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
- For a deep clean, the shelf plates can be easily removed and run through a commercial dishwasher.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as they are not needed and could dull the finish.
- Periodically check that all connections are still snug and secure, especially in high-use areas.

You'll often see 'antimicrobial' mentioned, but what does it really mean for your kitchen? With this Cambro Camshelving, the protection isn't just a surface coating that can wear off. It's a special silver-ion technology that's permanently moulded into the shelf plates themselves. Think of it like a built-in, 24/7 defence system. This technology actively disrupts the growth of mould, fungi, and bacteria, preventing them from multiplying on the surface. It’s like having an invisible cleaning crew that never clocks off, giving you an extra layer of food safety assurance between your regular cleaning schedules.
