• Aside from a good rinse directly after use, cleaners are the first- and arguably most important- step to any efficient cleaning program.  Cleaning removes excess dirt, oil and other substances that may be left over from manufacturing, making a clean slate for the rest of the process.  If equipment is not properly cleaned, the rest of the process will become less efficient.
• A good cleaning product will work to remove organic soils on contact, without requiring laborious scrubbing.  When looking for a new product, take into account your manufacturing process, amount of leftover soils, and the equipment’s materials.
