What is the difference between a degreaser and a disinfectant degreaser?
Using a degreasing disinfectant may be necessary in certain situations, but this depends on the specific needs of your kitchen. Let's compare the two options: using a regular degreaser versus a degreasing disinfectant.
Advantages of a disinfectant degreaser
Increased efficiency on lightly soiled surfaces where saving time is crucial. In addition to removing grease, these products disinfect surfaces, further reducing the risk of contamination. While using a single product for two functions can certainly simplify the cleaning process, it's important to remember that a degreasing disinfectant will never be as effective as a product specifically designed for degreasing. When should you opt for a degreaser alone?
If the surfaces are particularly dirty, separating the two phases will ultimately allow for greater efficiency in restoring a clean surface before disinfection.
Disinfectant degreasers can be more expensive. For daily use, a standard degreaser may be more economical.
How long can a degreaser be used for?
Generally, legislation mandates a "best before" date of two years for all cleaning products. Kitchen degreasers are no exception. However, it's important to note that we're not talking about an "use by" date, but rather a "best before" date. This means that the manufacturer no longer guarantees the product's effectiveness beyond this date.
How do I apply a kitchen degreaser?
Generally, it is applied using a ready-to-use sprayer or a central cleaning and disinfection unit for large surfaces or floors. Application can be done with a cloth , allowing for the implementation of a color-coded system, preferably yellow for the kitchen.
What are the regulations regarding the cleaning of ovens, cooker hoods, grills, and deep fryers?
