PLASTIC MAT SHELVING UNIT CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Plastic mats can be easily removed and cleaned in a sink or dishwasher.
Post and Frames are steel with anti-bacterical blue finish. Plastic mats can easily be removed for cleaing and are dish
washer safe. Proper cleaning and sanitizing of the post, frame and plastic mats requires the use of the proper cleaning
agents used in the correct concentrations. The use of the wrong agents and concetrations could damage your shelving.
DO NOT USE CLEANERS OR SANITIZERS CONTAINING CHLORINE OR SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE. They may discolor or
damage the posts, frames or plastic mats. These chemicals are in some commerically available products such as
bleaches (like Clorox) and some detergents (like Comet).
Cleaning and sanitizing is a two-step process. Cleaning involves removing the large food particles, heavy soil and stains
which may be on the shelf. Sanitizing kills the bacteria and mold which may exist on the shelf surface. It is generally true
that one application of any product cannot accomplish both cleaning and sanitizing. The heavy soils must be removed
first so that the sanitizer can do its job on a “clean” surface.
Since these cleaners and sanitizers are usually purchased in concentrated form, proper eye and skin protection must be
worn while handling the concentrated product.
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT CLEANERS AND/OR SANITIZERS. FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS’ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.
DILUTE ALL CONCENTRATES TO THE PROPER STRENGTH.
