Dry the surface before applying the disinfection product. Wiping and mopping: At the end of work-shift, the working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup/canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Soak a clean dry wipe/mop in freshly prepared working solution and wipe/mop the surface until it is completely wetted. Keep the surface wet and allow to take effect for the specified contact time. Spraying (tanks): The working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup/canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Working solution is sprayed onto the inner surface of tanks by using a spraying device until it is completely wetted. Keep the surface wet and allow to take effect for the specified contact time. Immersion: The working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup/canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Immerse equipment completely in working solution for the specified contact time. The disinfection bath can only be used once. CIP: The required quantities of product and water are pumped into the closed system by an automatic dosage system to a final concentration as needed for the respective activity. Volume of product needed to disinfect the surface depends on the size of the closed system.
