 Eating out, whether at a fast food outlet or a
five-star restaurant is a part of the American way of life. Disinfecting,
sanitizing and antimicrobial cleaning products play an important role in
ensuring healthy restaurants. Products such as kitchen cleaners, table wiping
solutions, toilet and bathroom cleaners, antimicrobial soap, and floor cleansers
help you enjoy a pleasant dining experience.\
While the overwhelming majority of restaurants
are clean, there are estimates that as much as 70 percent of all food poisonings
occur in public eating establishments. Restaurant sanitation and safety
are highly regulated by state and local agencies that regularly conduct
extensive inspections on eating establishments to protect the public. Inspections
focus on areas where food is stored, served and consumed. Equipment and
facilities such as stoves, refrigerators, plumbing and restrooms are inspected
closely.
While the most common cause of food borne illness
from restaurants is the failure to maintain the proper food holding and
storage temperatures, contamination from food handlers and from bacterial
material on food surfaces also cause problems. Restaurant owners and managers
use a variety of antimicrobial products to keep their facilities clean and
germ free. A variety of products are available for use on kitchen equipment
and surfaces, dining area tables and food serving surfaces (such as buffet
tables), and restroom facilities.
