What is Ready-2-Go?

No Rinse Sanitiser

READY-2-GO is a sanitiser for use in all food processing areas.

READY-2-GO is supplied at ready-to-use concentration. READY-2-GO is rinse-free and food safe.

Key Benefits

• Ready-to-use formula – no dilution required
• Effective on a wide range of bacteria
• No rinsing is required after use

How Does It Work?

READY-2-GO is a food-grade sanitiser for use in kitchens and food processing areas. It is an excellent sanitiser for general surfaces, pots and pans, floors and for equipment. When cleaned then treated with READY-2-GO, these items are rendered safe and free from bacteria.

Application

Scrub surfaces with detergent to remove food residues then rinse and allow to drain. Apply READY-2-GO to surface with mop, cloth or sponge. Direct contact with prescribed goods (e.g. foodstuffs) must be prevented. Leave READY-2-GO in contact with surface for 5 minutes or more to kill any bacteria. Rinsing is not required, but treated surfaces should be adequately drained before processing operations resume.

To ensure the best results when using READY-2-GO:

1. READY-2-GO is a sanitiser, not a detergent. Always clean the surface with detergent and rinse soilage away before applying READY-2-GO.

2. Do not mix READY-2-GO with soap or any other chemicals as this may deactivate the germ-killing action.

3. If decanting, always use a clean, dry container. It is good practice to discard the old solution, wash out container, let it dry overnight then add the fresh solution to the clean empty bottle.

4. Do not ‘top up’ old READY-2-GO with new READY-2-GO as this can lead to contamination.
