Cleaning and Sanitizing Solutions
Cleaning Solution
Mix a mild, non-abrasive detergent (e.g. Sodium Laureth Sulfate,
dish soap) with clean, potable water at a temperature of 90°F to
110°F (32°C to 43°C). The mixture ratio is one ounce of cleaner
to two gallons of water. Prepare a minimum of five gallons of
cleaning solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents
because they can cause permanent damage to the unit. Ensure
rinsing is thorough, using clean, potable water at a temperature
of 90°F to 110°F. Extended lengths of syrup lines may require
additional cleaning solution.
Sanitizing Solution
Prepare the sanitizing solution in accordance with the
manufacturer’s written recommendations and safety guidelines.
The type and concentration of sanitizing agent recommended in
the instructions by the manufacturer shall comply with 40 CFR
§180.940. The solution must provide 100 parts per million (PPM)
chlorine (e.g. Sodium Hypochlorite or bleach) and a minimum of
five gallons of sanitizing solution should be prepared.
If a powder sanitizer is used, dissolve it thoroughly with hot water prior to adding to the product system. Ensure
sanitizing solution is removed from the dispenser as instructed.
