New Webpage Demonstrates Current Foodservice Practices Could Be Spreading Messes, But A Better Option Exists
Spills happen in foodservice establishments. Constantly. So, there is no use crying over them, right?
Well, in many cases, they're then dealt with by staff doing their best to wipe up with a reusable cloth and a red bucket filled with sanitizer solution. But this common practice could actually be spreading the mess further, potentially even compromising cleanliness and the well-being of guests and customers.
At GOJO Industries, we believe it's time to consider moving beyond the traditional, yet potentially flawed, red bucket and reusable cloth method. To that end, we've launched a new webpage – "Ditch the Red Bucket," which will illustrate why you might want to consider making a switch. On the page, you'll be introduced to 'The Milkshake Demonstration,' a representation of a daily reality for any foodservice establishment – in our labs, we spilled a milkshake and attempted to clean it up in two different ways.
Now you can explore this "tale of two methods," which presents a comparison between the red bucket method and reusable wipes, and see for yourself how the widely accepted method may be unknowingly spreading messes, and more, across seemingly clean surfaces. The webpage offers some startling blacklight photography that will hopefully make you question the effectiveness of this standard cleaning procedure.
As a research scientist in the foodservice market, I know firsthand that in the world of foodservice, cleanliness is not just an aesthetic concern, it's a matter of public health and reputation. This page is meant to show why it may just be time to re-evaluate old practices and embrace a more efficient and effective approach to cleaning and sanitizing. For anyone interested in elevating their foodservice cleaning standards, you should definitely take a look.
The page also features a full video of the demonstration and concludes with an array of additional links and resources to further enrich your knowledge, from an in-depth look at foodservice surfaces to infographics and research.
So why wait? Get ahead of the spills and visit the "Ditch the Red Bucket" webpage today.
