Before you do any sanitizing, you need to thoroughly clean your equipment. Sanitizers do not work on equipment with soils on the surface, and bacteria and wild yeasts will remain. It is always best to immediately wash your equipment after use while the soils are soft and easier to remove. | Before you do any sanitizing, you need to thoroughly clean your equipment.

There are a number of good cleaning agents on the market. One Step™, Straight-A™, and Powdered Brewery Wash™ (PBW) are three of the most popular. These products may be used on bottles, fermenters, and other equipment. Cleansers should be rinsed after use. Don’t soak your equipment in a cleansing solutions for longer than the time recommended on the packaging or you can damage your equipment. | There are a number of good cleaning agents on the market.

[https://jfoodprotection.org/doi/pdf/10.4315/0362-028X-60.1.43 Frank and Chimielewski] investigated the effectiveness of Quaternary Ammonium Compound or Chlorine on stainless steel and other domestic food preparation surfaces. The results indicate that different materials have an inherent different ability to be sanitised. Although the results indicated that abrasion (and therefore increasing surface roughness) does not always reduce the effectiveness of sanitising on clean surfaces, if adherent soil is not removed, microbial survival could be enhanced. Sanitation effectiveness is not simply a result of surface roughness or porosity.<ref name=cluett>https://ujcontent.uj.ac.za/vital/access/services/Download/uj:14727/CONTENT1</ref> | [https://jfoodprotection.org/doi/pdf/10.4315/0362-028X-60.1.43 Frank and Chimielewski] investigated the effectiveness of Quaternary Ammonium Compound | ||
