Many business owners rely on long-term portable hand wash sink rentals to stay in compliance with local health ordinances, which means users must sanitize workstations often. Knowing when and how to do it will increase productivity and help workers abide by safety standards. Here are a few things you need to know about how to clean portable hand sink rentals regardless of work location.
How Do Portable Hand Wash Sink Work?
Portable hand wash sinks work like traditional sinks except the hardware operates a bit differently. They have fixtures, basins, and tanks for hot and cold water. Unlike traditional plumbing, however, they are eco-friendly as they only require minimal amounts of water to operate. They are also movable, so businesses can place them in multiple locations to provide the proper sanitation services.
Portable hand wash sink rentals are excellent alternatives for when traditional plumbing fixtures are not available. It’s the primary reason why portable plumbing fixtures are so popular as they don’t require electricity or water to fully operate. Business owners also do not have to service them as Flush handles it for customers, but sanitizing each unit is something you’ll want to learn more about.
All of Flush’s portable hand wash sink rentals are compact and convenient, but they do come in several different models and sizes that will improve different kinds of workplaces, including workforce hygiene safety measures. Just as a business cleans routine equipment, portable sinks require meticulous upkeep so that wash sink renters and workers can get the most out of their usage.
How To Properly Care for Portable Hand Wash Sink Rentals
Wash Sink Components
A portable wash sink has three primary parts that must be cleaned: a handwash station, water tanks, and connecting hoses. Even though clean water runs through these parts, they need maintenance, but a business owner likely already has cleaning supplies like a bucket, towel, brush, cleaning solution, and clean water on hand for maintenance so it will ensure sanitation practices go smoothly.
Cleaning a Hand Wash Sink
Flush cleans all components of our equipment during routine maintenance checks and inspections, so you won’t have to worry about doing major maintenance. What you can do is clean the outside, including the sink and fixtures to ensure that when workers touch it, you remove any contamination that can cause illnesses or spread germs from one person to another or your customer or community.
Prevention is the most important aspect of portable hand wash sink sanitation. We follow strict safety protocols when we clean the unit to ensure proper handling. For example, when we perform maintenance, we follow steps to ensure we do not cross-contaminate the transport hoses with the transfer hoses. We also ensure that all hoses are capped to stop contamination from occurring naturally.
If you rent your units for an extended period, we will work with you directly on sanitation. You can also make an eco-friendly cleaning solution to run through your transport tanks each day. Leave it to soak for a minimum of one hour and then rinse carefully with clean water. It will also give the cleaning solution enough time to disinfect the unit and kill any microorganisms that are contaminating it.
