Treatment Value
Sterilex Ultra Disinfectant Cleaner Solution 1 (Solution 1) and Sterilex Ultra Activator Solution (Solution 2) are designed to enhance existing sanitation programs and solve the most difficult sanitation challenges. Implementation of a comprehensive program with Sterilex liquids has proven to eliminate environmental positives, treat harborage niches, kill biofilm bacteria and remove biofilm.
Shock Treatment (Initial Treatment)
When beginning use of Solution 1 and Solution 2 at a plant, it is important to implement a shock protocol before backing off to maintenance treatments. A shock treatment should also be used whenever a plant has an increase in counts, a new “hot spot” or experiences a sudden decrease in product shelf life.
A shock treatment with Solution 1 and Solution 2 involves 3–5 consecutive applications.
Maintenance Treatment (Weekly)
Following a successful shock treatment, plants can begin to experiment with use frequencies while continuously conducting environmental monitoring to determine a proper/necessary Sterilex use protocol.
In general, Solution 1 and Solution 2 should be used at least 3X/week in RTE or more highly sensitive environments and at least 1X/week in other areas.
Environmental (Foaming) Usage Protocol
- Refer to the SDS for proper safety protocols and recommended PPE.
- Foam all surfaces in the plant with a chlorinated caustic detergent or general purpose cleaner, followed with a water rinse.
- Prepare solution of Solution 1 and Solution 2 mixed at a 1:1:10 ratio (12.8–16 oz of each solution/gallon of water) for use in a high volume, rinsed tank foamer. Once mixed, the solution MUST be used within 8 hours.
- Generously foam all overheads, walls, equipment, floors and drains to ensure thorough coverage. Allow chemistry to soak in all crevices of treated surfaces. | Minimum contact time: 10 minutes
- Rinse all surfaces thoroughly with a potable water rinse.
- Apply a no-rinse food sanitizer to all food contact surfaces.
Usage Notes
Sterilex recommends to use products within 8 hours of mixing. If a mixture must be used after 8 hours, use testing kit to ensure appropriate active ingredient concentration. Mix as much solution as needed for the specific application.
