All wiping cloths shall be stored in a bucket of sanitizer. The sanitizer will kill any bacteria that is picked up on the cloth. The sanitizer solution shall be changed every 3-4 hours, so the strength is high enough to kill bacteria.
Obtain chlorine test strips from your chemical cleaning supplier, so the glasswasher sanitizer strength can be tested daily to ensure it is 50ppm.
