7 steps to wet sanitation

One step at a time

BAD – Can lead to Poor

Sanitation when not maintained

UGLY – Direct link to

Poor Sanitation

1. High pressure water & air

2. Re-usable cleaning tools

3. Switches

4. Bearings

5. Congestion

6. Door seals

1. Drain back up

2. Standing water

3. Aerosols

4. Hollow rollers

5. Biofilm

6. Mops & foam squeegees

7. Fibrous belting

8. Co-mingling

9. Non-accessibility

GOOD - Enables

Effective Sanitation

1. GMP

2. Continues employee

training

3. Hand scrub

4. Continues inspection

5. Flood sanitize

6. Single use cleaning aides

7. Synchronized process

8. Flashlights issues

9. ATP verification

10. Dedicated trainers &

training tools

11. Dedicated tool storage

Step 3: Soap & Scour

Proper PPE

required

Step 2: 1st Rinse

• Foam the walls, then the

floor, and then the equipment.

• Set contact time, i.e. 10-

15min. Do not allow soap to

dry, may form a stronger soil.

• Scour to remove film, fats

& proteins.

• Drains cleaned prior to starting step 4

• Remove remaining visible soils with hot water (95% as benchmark).
• Gross soils prohibit effective surface cleaning if not removed.
• Parts rinsed and ready to be placed into COP tanks for cleaning.

Step 1: Dry Clean

Step 7: Disinfect & Sanitize

• Make sure there is no standing water before beginning.
• Foam disinfect entire processing area: walls (5ft/1.5mt min), floor, & equipment. (i.e. 800-100ppm

Quat for 10minutes minimum) Follow label.

• Low pressure volume rinse with potable water the

product contact Surfaces only.

• Ensure there is no pooling water.
• Foam sanitize no rinse concentration the product

contact surfaces.

• LOTO, secure and disassemble equipment.
• Remove gross soils from equipment and floor.
• Remove production supplies from the room.
• Remove trash from room.
• Empty drain baskets.

Step 4: Post

Rinse & Inspect

• Remove chemical and soils via flood

rinse.

• Rinse in the order the soap was applied,

walls, then the floor, and last the equipment.

• Avoid spraying the floor once the post rinse of the equipment begins!
• Use a flashlight to verify clean. Should occur throughout step 4.
• 100% free of soils, hazes, or water beads.Verify by sight, feel, and smell.

Step 6: Pre-op

Step 5: Remove & Assemble

• Put on clean outerwear.
• Sanitize hands.
• Verify all chemical is removed (visual, Ph paper)
• Remove all standing water & overhead condensation.
• Standing water prevents sanitizer contact with the surface.
• Pre-op inspect parts that will not be accessible after assembling.
• Sanitize inaccessible parts prior to assembling.
• Assemble (follow LOTO procedure).
• Re-lubricate where needed.

• Inspect to ensure free of chemicals, tools, cleaning supplies before starting the equipment, and guards in place.
• Run equipment prior to inspection.
• Complete the formal pre-op procedure as

per SSOP (sight, smell, touch, ATP are recommended tools).

• Correct all deficiencies and provide feedback to responsible sanitor/cleaner.
