We asked food processing sanitation professionals how many hours per week their crew spends manually scrubbing drains.

95% said 3 hours or more. Nearly a quarter said 10+.

That's not just a labor problem — it's a food safety problem.

Manual scrubbing is inconsistent, often skipped under pressure, and can actually spread contamination by aerosolizing bacteria across your facility. You're putting in the hours, but you may not be eliminating the risk.

The Sterilex PerQuat Drain Program is built to change that.

Instead of scrubbing, your team applies our powerful PerQuat chemistry — fill, foam and walk away. No hand scrubbing required. No cross-contamination risk from high-pressure rinsing. Just verified kill against biofilm and foodborne pathogens, including Listeria.

Drains are a known hotspot. Nearly 30% of drains in RTE facilities still test positive for Listeria. A defined chemical program doesn't just save labor — it closes a critical gap in your food safety system.

Your biggest customers — major retailers, foodservice buyers, contract partners — are scrutinizing your facility harder than ever. And when an auditor walks into your facility, your sanitation program either holds up or it doesn't.

EPA-registered chemistry. Validated protocols. Complete documentation. That's what a defensible program looks like — and what Sterilex PerQuat technology delivers.

Invest in the program that proves itself when it matters most. Make sure your sanitation program delivers when the audit is on the line and you need results.
