Learn why cleaning and disinfecting are two separate steps and how to do both correctly, plus how Pilla and AI help you build this into your system.
Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on two stage cleaning.
Sanitiser needs to contact the surface directly to kill bacteria. If there is a layer of grease or food residue between the sanitiser and the surface, the sanitiser cannot do its job. Cleaning must always come first.
First, wipe off gross contamination with single-use paper. Then apply detergent to remove remaining residues. Then apply sanitiser for disinfection, allowing the required contact time before wiping or air drying.
Sanitiser cannot remove allergen proteins from surfaces. When cleaning after preparing allergen-containing foods, a hard surface cleaner or degreaser must be used first to physically remove the allergen, followed by sanitiser.
Sanitiser needs to remain wet on the surface for a specified period, typically 30 seconds to several minutes, to kill bacteria effectively. Spraying and immediately wiping off does not achieve disinfection.
See how two stage cleaning fits into your wider food safety management system in Pilla. We walk through how to build this into your system so that your team has clear processes, accountability, and a documented trail that proves compliance.
Learn how AI can speed up this process and connect Pilla to your other tools, giving you a much more joined up system across your business.
