The first step in understanding the sanitation chemical products to use is to first understand the different soils you are trying to remove. Once you figure that out, then you need to fully understand the cleaning chemicals you have available. Knowing the product you are making, the process by which it is made and the particular challenges of the environment you are cleaning will help give you an edge. Once you understand this, you will be able to maintain an effective cleaning and sanitizing program.
Each product is different. Some clean is better than others. Some need to be diluted, while others foam better. The sanitarian should consider the benefits of a good foam cleaner or maybe they need to incorporate some kind of agitation or mechanical action. This can be accomplished by using a brush or a scouring pad. The right product with the right equipment will result in a reduction in cost and labor.
Properly Label Containers
Since there are different types of chemicals, it is important to pay special attention to the instructions on how to use them. If you mix incorrectly, it could result in a hazardous concoction. It is a good idea to use color-coded labels and also training labels for acids, alkalines, sanitizers and any caustic based products. The benefit of this is that it will serve as a visual alert to any personnel that is handling the various cleaning products. If you laminate the labels, they should be able to withstand the day-to-day usage of the product.
Creating a culture around reading directions and labels will benefit all staff. They will have a heightened awareness of how products work and how to mix it with the right measurements. If too much product is used, it could result in the need for even more rinsing. This will reduce the cost savings.
Proper Equipment
When you have the appropriate equipment, it can greatly reduce human error. It also aids in reducing the exposure sanitarians have to harmful chemicals. Another benefit is that the cleaning products are pre-measured from the dispenser. Having the proper equipment ensures that the best results are achieved.
