The Care and Cleaning of Stainless

Cleaning Methods

There are many methods for exposing equipment surfaces to cleaning solutions. Which method to be used, solely or in combination, usually depends on the effectiveness and economy of application. Some of these are as follows:

1) Flushing with warm or cold water to remove loose particles.

2) Soaking in the cleaning solution for 15-30 minutes, with or without ultrasonic scrubbing.

3) Spraying the cleaning solution using fixed or portable spraying units.

4) Using automatic clean-in-place (CIP) systems.

5) Abrasive cleaning using abrasive powders and pastes to remove difficult soil.

6) Rinsing with clean, potable water to remove all traces of the cleaning solution.
