CHOOSING THE CORRECT BRUSH.

Brushes and cleaning tools have to be very specialised in order to meet all the unique requirements of the food service industry. Selecting the correct bristle is very important.

Longer bristles offer greater flexibility when compared to a shorter trim. The key to efficiency is maximum bristle tip contact to the surface and the proper type of bristle for the surface to be cleaned or prepped.

Proper selection is extremely important for making the cleaning and prepping process as easy and efficient as possible.

As health department standards continue to increase, brushes and cleaning tools will play an increasingly important role in meeting regulations and reducing maintenance costs. The correct brush or tool designed for the proper job will ensure greater efficiency and reduce health risks in the food service environment.
