Food Preparation Surface Sanitation

Food preparation surfaces must be sanitized regularly throughout kitchen operations to prevent bacterial growth and cross-contamination. TCL offers two specialized sanitizers:

• PTS (Alcohol-Based Sanitizer) – Provides rapid disinfection with quick evaporation, leaving no residue.

• PT Quat (Quaternary Ammonium-Based Sanitizer) – Ensures long-lasting antimicrobial protection while being safe for continuous use on food contact surfaces.
   

Sanitizing Kitchen Equipment and High-Contamination Areas

Certain kitchen areas and equipment require thorough sanitation due to exposure to blood and high contamination risks. TCL’s TDX Liquid and TDX Powder (chlorine-based sanitizers) are highly effective for sanitizing such equipment. TDX is ideal for use in:

• Meat Preparation Areas – Eliminates bacteria and prevents cross-contamination.

• Fish Preparation Areas – Ensures proper sanitation to prevent contamination from raw seafood.

• Chicken Preparation Areas – Removes harmful bacteria and blood residues, maintaining hygiene.

For optimal results, kitchen equipment should be soaked overnight in cold water with 100 PPM chlorine sanitizer, then rinsed the next morning before use.

 

Kitchen Floor Sanitation

Maintaining clean and grease-free kitchen floors is essential for hygiene and safety. TCL’s Microkiller, a pine detergent sanitizer, is designed to remove grease buildup and eliminate bad odors while ensuring a clean surface. Its pine scent evaporates quickly, preventing any risk of food odor contamination while maintaining a fresh and sanitary kitchen environment.

Sanitation of Kitchen Pots, Pans, and Utensils

Proper cleaning and sanitation of kitchen pots, pans, and utensils are essential to maintaining a hygienic food preparation environment. TCL recommends using a three-compartment sink system, where:

• The first compartment is designated for washing kitchen utensils and pots using Power Clean or Super Wash (manual dishwashing liquid).

• The second compartment is used for rinsing to remove any remaining residues.

• The third compartment is reserved for sanitation, where TDX Liquid is applied through a dilution dosing system to ensure proper disinfection.

Sanitizing Refrigerators and Storage Areas

To ensure cleanliness and efficiency in refrigerators and freezers, TCL provides Clean Freez, a specialized cleaner that effectively removes buildup and quickly defrosts ice. After cleaning, PT Quat or PTS should be used to sanitize freezer and refrigerator shelves and surfaces, preventing bacterial growth and maintaining hygiene. Refrigerators and food storage areas must be sanitized regularly to prevent bacterial growth and eliminate potential contamination risks. Using TCL’s sanitizers ensures that surfaces remain free from harmful microbes, preserving food safety and extending the freshness of stored ingredients.

Kitchen Receiving Area Sanitation

The kitchen receiving area is a critical entry point where raw ingredients arrive, making it vulnerable to contamination. Regular cleaning and sanitation help prevent the introduction of harmful bacteria into the kitchen environment. TCL provides targeted sanitizing solutions, including Microkiller, which effectively removes contaminants while ensuring a hygienic and fresh environment in these high-risk zones. The kitchen receiving area is a critical entry point where raw ingredients arrive, making it vulnerable to contamination. Regular cleaning and sanitation help prevent the introduction of harmful bacteria into the kitchen environment.

 

Garbage Room Sanitation

The kitchen garbage room is one of the most contaminated areas, requiring strong sanitation measures. TCL’s Desitol, a powerful pine-based sanitizer, effectively eliminates bacteria, neutralizes foul odors, and ensures a clean and hygienic waste disposal area. Regular sanitation of the garbage room helps prevent the spread of germs throughout the kitchen.
