Specific personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers should be documented. Records should also be kept regarding the specific equipment used for chemical application, including the process that was used to clean the equipment prior to adding the selected antimicrobials. These records should confirm how the product was mixed if it was not a ready-to-use cleaner/sanitizer. The correct application rate is another crucial data point to be documented.... Evidence of appropriate dwell time, as noted from the product label, also needs to be recorded. Finally, if the cleaning/sanitizing product requires rinsing or neutralization, the procedures to comply with that requirement should be fully explained.
