Is our wash service hygienic?Yes. The wash process used by phs Teacrate is very thorough, especially for equipment required in the food industry. All items are prewashed, main washed, then clean crates are rinsed in clean water. We can also dry to <10g of rinse water per tray if required.
To confirm their cleanliness is to a high standard, phs Teacrate routinely swab test for evidence of bacteria, with RLU (Reflective Light Units) recorded and logged (by customer). This is particularly important for food supply chains.
