3. Allowing time for effectiveness
The time required for the detergent to become effective and the concentration will depend on the
detergent in use. Always follow the manufacturers instructions and recommendations.
Once the time has elapsed, final wash down must commence. If activated detergent is left on for longer
than the recommended time, the concentration will increase as the water evaporates and may cause
discolouration of the stainless steels surfaces. With some activated detergents this effect is greater, the
better the quality of the stainless steel. The rougher the surface the greater may be the effect of the
discolouration because the detergent will stay on that surface for longer. The rough surface can be
caused by product particles adhering to it, or even sprayed on disinfectant that is not rinsed off and
allowed to dry.
4. Final wash down/rinse
Final rinse is very important to prevent the discolouration or damage to metal surfaces.
Although there is a temptation in wash down environments to use high-pressure water jets, it must
again be stressed that only low pressure is allowed.
This completes the clean down procedure.
