1.Cleaning the five elementsTime:The longer the cleaning time, the better the cleaning effect. Temperature:For grease and dirt, the higher the temperature, the better the cleaning effect. Chemicals:Acidic cleaners (removal of inorganic dirt: rust, scale, etc.);Alkaline cleaner (removes organic dirt: grease, protein, etc.).Mechanical Force:The greater the mechanical force, the better the cleaning effect. Hygienic design:Good hygienic design makes cleaning more efficient.

2.Applicable scenarios for foam cleaningFoam cleaning is a process that applies blowing agents to clean surfaces, and since foam stays on the surface longer than other liquids, the extended contact time can more effectively loosen and remove dirt and debris from the surface, making it easier to remove. This type of cleaning is suitable for cleaningOils, fats, and greasesAccumulation of equipment surfaces and cleaning of equipment that is difficult to clean, such as smokers, smoker trucks, mesh belts, etc.

on the Internet.

3.Basic steps for foam cleaningPre-rinse:Pre-clean the surface of the equipment with more than 40 high-pressure hot water;Spray foam:Use alkaline foam cleaner to spray the surface of the equipment, the spraying thickness is not less than 2mm, the foam coverage time is not less than 10min, and the brush is used for cleaningSecondary Rinse:Use high-pressure hot water for a second flush to flush off the foam on the surface of the equipment to avoid foam residue from remaining on the surface of the cleaning equipmentSanitization:Spray disinfectants such as chlorine-containing disinfectants or quaternary ammonium salts at appropriate concentrations, cover all cleaned contact surfaces, keep the disinfectant on the surface of the equipment for no less than 10min, and rinse with water again. So far, the whole process of foam cleaning and disinfection has been completed. Standardized cleaning SOPs can also be posted on the shop site, as follows:

4.Compliance qualifications for foam cleanersFoam cleaners used on food contact surfaces need to pay special attention to the compliance of their qualifications, which are organized as follows: Table 1 Alkaline foam cleaners compliance qualifications

In addition, we can also understand the compliance of the product from the label, focusing on whether it complies with GB 149301 Class B requirements, as well as detergents within the scope of the national industrial product production license, the label needs to have QS logo. Label compliance reference is as follows:
