In the dairy industry, maintaining rigorous cleaning and disinfection standards is essential to ensure milk safety and quality. However, one of the biggest challenges faced in dairy hygiene is the control of cleaning residues, particularly chlorine-based byproducts, that may remain in milking parlours and bulk milk tanks if the final rinse isn’t thorough. Kersia has introduced a breakthrough chlorine-free cleaning program designed to address this concern with added environmental and regulatory benefits.
Chlorine-Free Cleaning: Why It Matters
Chlorine has traditionally been the go-to solution for cleaning milking machines due to its effective disinfecting properties. However, if not adequately rinsed, chlorine can leave behind residues that carry into milk production, raising quality concerns. The introduction of a chlorine-free cleaning program by Kersia provides an effective solution to this longstanding issue, using the OCTAKLEAN and HYPRACID ONE detergent and disinfecting combination to thoroughly clean and disinfect without chlorine or other controversial substances.
