chlorine wash

Chlorine wash is a sanitation process where a solution containing chlorine is applied to surfaces or equipment to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms. It is commonly used in food processing, water treatment, and sanitation protocols to ensure safety and prevent contamination. The chlorine chemically reacts with microorganisms, destroying their cellular components. This method is effective, fast, and widely used because chlorine is readily available and inexpensive. Proper concentration and contact time are essential to ensure effective disinfection without damaging equipment or leaving harmful residues.
