20--Industrial Sanitation and Personnel Facilities
Utensils should be carefully scraped and preferably pre-rinsed before being put into the detergent solution ' They should be thor oughly washed with soap or a detergent, and well rinsed by a method which will destroy bactena
For thorough machine washing, the utensils must be stacked m the trays loosely enough so that the cleansing agent gets to every part, the concentration of detergent m the wash water and the wash water temperature must be maintained The wash water must be changed before it becomes excessively dirty Spray nozzles in the dish washing machine must be cleaned daily to maintain proper flow and distribution
Requirements for hand washing are the same, except that each utensil must be in dividually scrubbed in all parts rather than simply stacked in a tray
For nnsmg, the cleaned utensils may be immersed in clean hot water at 170 F for onehalf minute One problem is that of main taining the temperature of the rinse water over long sessions of dishwashing, since a large volume of fresh hot water is required for this method Water heaters should be of adequate size Less water, however, will be needed if a chemical sterilizing agent is used Hypochlonte solutions at a concentration of at least 50 ppm of available chlonne for an immersion time of one minute at 75 F will provide adequate sterilization Cabonic qua ternary ammonium germicides are also suit able
When die utensils have been properly cleaned, they should be stored and handled so as to prevent contamination by the han dler's fingers and from ordinary dust and dirt or from leakage from overhead pipes
