In the catering industry, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is essential. Maintaining rooms, devices and equipment in proper hygienic and sanitary condition is an extremely important aspect. Professional disinfectants are helpful in this regard. It is also necessary to properly train staff in maintaining order and disinfecting specific areas in the catering industry.
Washing and disinfection – general rules
In the catering industry, the quality of the services offered is extremely important. In order to provide your customers with the highest quality of services and safety, you must follow general rules of keeping order. Disinfection in gastronomy is an integral element of maintaining proper hygiene. It involves the reduction of pathogenic microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. However, before disinfecting a given area, we must ensure that it is properly cleaned.
Each surface to be disinfected should be previously washed in warm water (approximately 45°C) with the addition of detergent. After removing all contaminants, you can proceed to the disinfection process. In many cases, however, you can use preparations that have cleaning and disinfecting properties. In this case, it is extremely important to use only professional, tested products, such as DEZOFast by Clinex. This is a product that removes dirt and effectively disinfects surfaces.
The most vulnerable areas in the catering industry where it is worth using DEZOFast
In the catering industry, there are several sensitive areas that require frequent disinfection. Especially today, when we are fighting the coronavirus epidemic, we must reach for products that are reliable, proven and effective. DEZOFast is one of the few cleaning and disinfecting preparations that guarantees effectiveness in the fight against coronavirus. Numerous studies confirm that it is a strong disinfectant that effectively deals with fungi, bacteria, viruses and spores. Moreover, on March 6, 2020, DEZOFast obtained the Permit No. 8010/20 from the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products. The use of DEZOFast on the most exposed areas in the catering industry will ensure high hygiene and safety of both employees and customers.
Areas that should be disinfected regularly include:
- tables,
- chairs,
- disposable napkin dispensers,
- worktops in the back room,
- handles and doors,
- floors,
- sinks in the back,
- sinks and toilets,
- stoves,
- refrigerators and cold stores.
How to disinfect individual areas in catering?
Every washable surface should be disinfected periodically. However, there are areas that require much more frequent disinfection, especially in the face of the coronavirus epidemic. When it comes to disinfecting tables and chairs in restaurants or other catering establishments, we should use safe but effective preparations. DEZOFast belongs to the group of aldehyde-free, high-performance disinfectants, so it will work perfectly here. Its use is extremely easy, just spray the surface with the preparation and spread it with a cloth. Disinfection should be carried out wearing protective gloves.
Disinfection of the backroom
We proceed similarly when disinfecting worktops in the back room. First, however, it is worth removing any contamination. Then we also spray the surface generously and spread the preparation with a cloth. In the same way, we disinfect door handles and doors, sinks, stoves, washbasins and toilets. In the case of gastronomy, DEZOFast can be used on any waterproof surface. Therefore, it will also work well for disinfecting a disposable napkin dispenser, which is, however, one of the largest carriers of pathogens.
