Could someone please tell me how often mops need sanitized in a food facility that is low risk, ie, dry bakery, no eggs? After each use or weekly?

Hi Kathleen,

By their nature mops are not particularly hygienic. It would be better to use food grade brushes and squeegees to clean your floor.

Kind regards,

Tony
