Quality Commercial Sanitizers

There are a number of benefits that sanitizers can offer, especially in the current situation of a pandemic. It is effective and easy to use when soap and water are not available. Hand or surface sanitizers with more than 60 percent ethyl or isopropyl alcohol are the ones you need to kill most germs and the alcohol percent can reach up to 99% adding to the efficiency of the sanitizer in protecting against germs on hands, doorknobs, surfaces, carts or simply everywhere. 

Commercial Disinfectants

Health Canada has mandated the use of disinfectants with chlorine compounds, peroxide, iodine compounds, carboxylic acids and quaternary ammonium compounds in food preparation and storage facilities. Not all disinfectants are suitable or appropriate for usage on food contact surfaces. We can help you in choosing the right disinfectant with the appropriate drug identification number (DIN).

Commercial Detergents 

It is very important to understand the difference between disinfectants and detergents. For effective cleaning in any food facility, it is important to use detergents to remove soils and residues from surfaces to leave them ready for the step of disinfection. The detergent solution suspends the food particles and bacteria from the surfaces and rinses off into the drain for a complete cleaning procedure.

Commercials Deodorizers

Deodorizers are a cleaning supply essential for eliminating any odours. Absorbent deodorizers include activated charcoal and silica gel which removes odours by absorbing molecules from the surfaces and removes impurities. Odour removal is very important for any business, restaurant or any commercial space leading to the neutralization and elimination of bad odour.

Floor Care Essentials

Bacteria and germs can easily transfer to food shelves and preparation areas. Therefore it is essential to use FDA-regulated industrial cleaning equipment like scrubbers and sweepers which prevent the spread of bacterias and allergens from spreading in the facility. It is crucial to ensure cleanliness and worker safety in any commercial establishment using floor care equipment.
