The reality is that, cotton towels are not an effective tool in sanitizing surfaces
Charlotte, North Carolina (PRWEB) May 27, 2015
PGI, Chicopee brand, a pioneer and technology leader in foodservice cleaning wipes, has announced a new way to clean hard surfaces and ensure infection prevention, S.U.D.S. (Single Use Dispensing System). S.U.D.S. improves sanitizing and cleaning across all areas of foodservice operations - front of house, back of house, and restroom care. Crucially, the S.U.D.S. Towel has been scientifically engineered to deliver the full potency of sanitizing or cleaning solutions to any surface area.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over half of the 48 million cases of foodborne illnesses in the United States each year are linked to foodservice establishments. Furthermore, the CDC attributes over 70% of Norovirus outbreaks, a community acquired infection, to foodservice workers. The CDC recommends regularly cleaning and sanitizing kitchen surfaces and frequently touched objects to reduce risks of outbreaks. Using PGI’s patented SpinLace® technology, S.U.D.S. Towels maintain sanitizer or disinfectant potency. Unlike cotton towels that deplete potency by up to 50%, the patent pending S.U.D.S. Towels are compatible with both quat and chlorine-based sanitizers and disinfectants, and the color-coded lids simplify the cleaning process making employee training easier. Every foodservice operator can be confident cleaning protocols will be maintained with this easy to implement solution.
S.U.D.S not only cleans better in a single dispense, but also provides significant cost savings for foodservice operations. The single use dispensing system with 2 quarts of your chemical solution is able to clean up to 660 tables with just 1 roll of wipes, requiring less sanitizer than open bucket systems. In addition, the closed system design helps to prevent costly slip and fall hazards by reducing spills.
According to a 2014 PGI survey, 9 out of 10 foodservice establishments reported greater customer satisfaction with cleanliness after switching to S.U.D.S. It is well known that cleanliness is one of the biggest factors in a diner’s decision to frequent a foodservice establishment. Consumers are more educated than ever with countless stories of health scares, food-borne illness outbreaks, and global epidemics. The foodservice industry must take action to meet the new standard of cleanliness expected by its’ consumers.
“The reality is that, cotton towels are not an effective tool in sanitizing surfaces,” stated Dawn Huston, director of product marketing “Fortunately, Chicopee has partnered with food industry experts and scientists to provide improved sanitation, easier organization, increased safety, and lower costs with Chicopee S.U.D.S. No matter what benefit you want to consider, S.U.D.S. towels are the clear winner.”
