Use of Sterilex PerQuat® Solutions in Floor Scrubbers
Treatment Value
Sterilex Ultra Disinfectant Cleaner Solution 1 (Solution 1) used in conjunction with Sterilex Ultra Activator Solution (Solution 2) function as a hard surface disinfectant. Applying the solution with a floor scrubber allows for one-step cleaning and disinfection on floor surfaces.
After cleaning, Sterilex Ultra Step or ProvaStride are two options for EPA-registered dry floor sanitizers that can be applied directly to production floors for additional protection from cross-contamination. Both products are formulated to add traction and prevent slippage. See the product application guides for more information.
Protocol for Maintenance Treatment
Maintenance treatment is generally conducted at a minimum frequency of once per week and at a concentration of 12.8–16.0 fl oz of each solution per gallon of water. Refer to the products’ technical data sheets to ensure material compatibility with scrubber parts.
- Clean floor by removing all large particles and gross visible soils from the floor surface.
- Mix a solution consisting of Solution 1 (use Sterilex Ultra CIP if low foaming is desired), Solution 2 (use Ultra Soft Metal Activator if using on compatible* soft metals) and water. The solution should be mixed at a rate of 12.8–16.0 fl oz of Solution 1 or Sterilex Ultra CIP and 12.8–16.0 fl oz of Solution 2 per gallon of water.
- Add the proper amount of both chemicals to the correct volume of water in the scrubber.
- Mix the solution. If possible, agitate to ensure proper mixing.
- Apply the Sterilex solution to the floor using the scrubber. Add additional mixed solution when necessary. Allow floor to remain visibly wet for 10 minutes.
- Thoroughly rinse the floor scrubber holding tank, and fill with potable water.
- Apply water to the floor surface, using the scrubber.
*See Ultra Soft Metal Activator compatibility chart.
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.
