Ecolab’s New Cleaner and Sanitizer Technology Combats Viruses

Ecolab’s Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer is an EPA-registered concentrated no-rinse, 2-in-1 cleaner and sanitizer for food contact surfaces that can kill emerging viral pathogens in 30 seconds.

Leveraging Ecolab’s extensive hospital hygiene expertise, this food contact sanitizer simplifies restaurant hygiene procedures by combining an effective cleaner and sanitizer into one solution without the need to rinse between cleaning and sanitizing or before contact with food.

Ecolab is among the vendors introducing new products that help ensure a safe guest experience. Guests are increasingly concerned about sanitation and hygiene and have expressed concerns around their physical health when choosing where to dine out, according to SevenRooms' Restaurant Reckoning: Dynamic Diner report.

Ecolab’s Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer is registered for use against norovirus, a common cause of foodborne illnesses, and is on EPA’s List N of disinfectants for use against SARS-CoV-2. It can be used on any hard, non-porous food contact surface, from food prep areas and the third sink in the kitchen to guest tables. No product in the concentrated no-rinse, food contact cleaner and sanitizer category has a fast kill time for emerging viral pathogens. 

Simple and effective cleaning solutions, as well as disinfection and sanitization, are critical to providing clean and safe spaces, and gaining guest confidence.
