Disinfection is a very important job in food factories to effectively prevent food contamination and cross-infection. Floor disinfection is an important part of this, because the floor is a place where bacteria and microorganisms can easily breed. So, what should be used to disinfect the floor of a food factory?
First of all, we need to understand the floor materials of food factories. Common floor materials include water-based polyurethane mortar flooring materials, epoxy resins, etc. The nature and water absorption of these materials can influence the choice of disinfectant.
Secondly, we need to consider the nature of the disinfectant. The disinfectant should have the characteristics of high efficiency, broad spectrum, low toxicity, good stability, etc., and should be able to effectively kill bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms. In food factories, commonly used disinfectants include bleaching powder, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, etc. These disinfectants all have a good sterilization effect, but the application methods and precautions are slightly different.
When using disinfectants, there are a few things to keep in mind:
1.The disinfectant should be used correctly according to the ratio of the instructions, and the concentration should be too high or too low;
2.Disinfectants should be used after cleaning the floor to avoid corrosion of the floor;
3.When using disinfectants, protective clothing, gloves, masks and other protective equipment should be worn;
4.Disinfectants should be stored in a safe place and avoided accidental ingestion or contact**.
In addition to the use of disinfectants, food facilities can take other steps to enhance floor disinfection efforts. For example: thoroughly clean and wax the floor regularly to keep it clean and smooth; In the production process, clean up the water and stains on the ground in time to prevent the breeding of bacteria; During production breaks, the floor can be disinfected by means of ultraviolet disinfection, etc.
In short, the disinfection of the floor of the food factory is very important, and the appropriate disinfection method should be selected according to the material of the floor and the nature of the disinfectant. At the same time, it is also essential to strengthen daily cleaning and maintenance to effectively reduce the growth of bacteria and microorganisms and ensure food safety and hygiene.
