Frequently asked questions
We receive many questions about cleaning and disinfecting from both existing and new relationships. We always provide questions with a suitable answer. Thanks to our own specialists and technologists, our knowledge goes much further than just the products we sell. Below are some frequently asked questions and answers that we regularly receive.
Food safety and control
Cleaning and disinfecting agents are generally never suitable for direct contact with food. Rinsing after use is often necessary. Suitability for use in combination with food relates to the ‘technical quality’ of the agents and whether they have been assessed for this application.
There are exceptions with agents that are specifically approved for use without rinsing. Want to know more? Ask our specialists or schedule an appointment at your location.
A rapid test can be used to check whether any residue (remnants of cleaning agents) remains after cleaning or disinfection. Reliable residue testing makes it possible to rule out with certainty that any remaining chemical agents will come into contact with foodstuffs.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning and disinfecting agents can contaminate the end product.
