What is the difference between a sanitizing solution and a disinfecting solution?
Sanitizing is cleaning surfaces that food will contact. On a non-porous surface, the sanitizing solution should be made up of 1 T of bleach for every gallon of water and should remain in contact with the surface for at least 2 minutes. On a porous surface, the sanitizing solution should be made up of 3 T of bleach for every gallon of water and should be remain in contact with the surface for at least 2 minutes also. Disinfecting is cleaning surfaces that food will not contact The ratio of bleach to water is 3/4 of a cup for every gallon of water.
