Directions
- Follow machine manufacturer's directions and use machine's powder detergent receptacles.
- In general, use ½-1% hot water wash cycle solutions (1¼-2½ tbsp. per gallon, ¾-1¼ ounces per gallon or 5-10 grams per liter – most machines need 2½ ounces added at a typical 2 gallon wash cycle).
- For manual, soak, circulate, or ultrasonic use, make a 1% solution in warm or hot water. For abrasive scrubbing, make paste. For difficult soils, raise water temperature and use more detergent.
- Wear protective gloves and eyewear for manual cleaning. For critical cleaning, do final, or all rinsing, in distilled, deionized, or purified water. For food contact surfaces, rinse with potable water.
Cleaning Validation Methods
Test a parameter of rinse water before and after rinsing the cleaned surface, or test the clean surface. No significant change in the parameter indicates no detectable residue. Parameters measured include: pH, conductivity, resistance, spectrographic methods, sodium concentration, phosphorus concentration, surface tension, and surface analysis.
