- X - Spray sanitizer bottle was used with QUATS concentration and was measured at 200 ppm. However, sanitizing buckets were also available with cloths at a QUATS concentration measured at 0 ppm. Staff complied to make a new solution of QUATS in the bucket which measured at 200 ppm.- Please ensure that sanitizing cloths not being used are kept in the bucket with an appropriate QUATS concentration of 200 ppm. This is to ensure that the cloths soaked are properly disinfecting. Soaking them helps kills harmful bacteria and reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. -Additionally, cloths stored in a bucket of sanitizer solution, make a fresh solution at the start of each day and change out the solution every 2 hours where food prep is being done or sooner if the solution becomes soiled. -If cloths are used with spray bottle sanitizer, cloths need to be changed every 2 hours and kept off of food preparation areas. -Please re-check the validity of the concentration using available test strips every 2 hours or as often as needed.
