Vikan dustpans are not just built to last—they’re also designed to meet the highest standards for food safety, with all polypropylene products being fully compliant with the FDA and Materials and Articles in Contact with Food Regulations 2019. This makes them perfect for food industry use, ensuring cleanliness in environments like kitchens and food processing facilities. The Vikan dustpan set is ideal for keeping work surfaces free of food debris and ensuring hygienic handling in sensitive areas.
Vikan also offers a selection of dusters that are specially designed for handling fine particles. These dusters are perfect for capturing even the smallest specks of dust or dirt, ensuring that you leave nothing behind.
Dust pans come in two primary materials to suit different needs: polypropylene, generally for products intended for food industry use, and metal, designed for handling hot waste.
Beyond the material choices, Vikan offers a variety of dustpans tailored to specific tasks:
Ideal for quick clean-ups, these dustpans are perfect for sweeping food debris off kitchen counters or machinery tops. With their ergonomic design, they’re comfortable to use, and their thick walls ensure they’re built to last, giving you strength and durability in every sweep.
Designed for more extensive cleaning tasks, the raised walls on upright dustpans keep dirt inside, allowing you to sweep for longer before needing to empty the pan. The dust pan lip seals tightly to the floor during use, preventing dirt from slipping underneath.
These dustpans come with a lid that can be locked into place, making them ideal for situations where you need to keep food debris or liquids contained. They also offer practical storage solutions, standing upright on their own with a brush tucked neatly inside.

Here are answers to some of the most common questions about Vikan dust pans.
To clean your dust pan, start by emptying any debris. For your everyday cleaning process, you can rinse the dust pan with warm water and mild detergent, then scrub it with a brush or sponge to remove any stuck-on dirt. If your dust pan is used in environments where food contact is a concern, it’s essential to disinfect it regularly. Use a food-safe disinfectant, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow the dust pan to air dry or wipe it down with a clean cloth before storing it.
