6 STEPS FOR SAFER CLEANING AND DISINFECTING IN FOOD TRUCKS
Products used for cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting can be harmful to human health and the environment. Clean SHiFT's 6 Steps for Safer Cleaning and Sanitizing in Food Trucks are designed to help you implement a Cleaning for Health Program: protect employees, customers, and the environment by substituting safer alternatives for more toxic traditional cleaning ingredients, and using new cleaning practices and equipment.
Why should I start a Cleaning for Health program? Sanitizers and disinfectants contain toxic chemical ingredients, and exposure can occur through inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, or injection. Exposures to these products can be serious, and sometimes fatal - especially when products are improperly mixed.

Where do I find safer cleaning products? Ask your vendor for cleaning products that are independently certified to contain fewer toxic chemicals. There are thousands of products certified by third-party organizations and agencies to help you find the safer products you need. The Washington Food Truck Association can also provide you with guidance.
