How to Disinfect Microgreen Trays

Posted on June 10, 2021

Food prep is a simple task but when it comes to how to disinfect microgreen trays, it can be a bit more difficult. For starters, these are food-grade plastic containers that come in a wide variety of sizes, designs and colors. The containers are used to hold and store food and beverages and are the perfect solution for events such as weddings or family get-togethers. These clear plastic containers are great for displaying your favorite foods and they can also be fun when used for potlucks or large parties where it’s important to have a visual reminder of each dish’s ingredients. But how do you know which type is best for your event?

When it comes to food preparation, it’s really all about preventing contamination. Whether you’re using plastic utensils or wooden spoons, food always has the potential to become contaminated. Microgreen trays offer a simple and inexpensive way to contain any potentially contaminated food so that it’s safe for consumption. These clear trays will make your food preparation as clean as can be and it’s something every chef should have on hand. These versatile containers are very convenient because it allows you to use your utensils anywhere including your kitchen.

If you’re wondering how to disinfect microgreen trays, there are a few simple steps that can help ensure that your food is safe. Typically, when food is placed inside of these containers, it’s immediately placed into an airtight sack or canister that’s constructed of nylon. To further prevent bacteria from infesting your food, it’s a good idea to purchase covers that keep these items from getting spilled on the floor.

Disinfecting microgreen products is a fairly simple process that usually requires hot water and a soft sponge. After pouring the water into the canister or the tray, you’ll then spread it across the surface of the tray. To kill any bacteria that may be residing on the plates, use a sponge dipped in alcohol to wipe down the surface of the plates. It’s important that you only use alcohol that is specific for food preparation. Also, make sure to allow plenty of time to cool down after spreading the mixture onto the items so the alcohol has time to kill any bacteria or germs that may be residing on the surface.

Once the substance has thoroughly soaked the surface of the tray, you’ll then wipe down the entire thing using a clean absorbent sponge or cloth. Again, it’s important to only use alcohol that is specifically for food preparation. Never use chlorine-based products. Finally, remove the microgreen trays and place them in a secure location where they can continue to heat up and rest. Ideally, these trays should be kept in a refrigerator or dark cupboard.

For those interested in learning how to disinfect microgreen trays, there are several different options available. One such option is to use a chlorine-based cleaning solution. These solutions are available at any local janitorial supply store and can be used for most cleaning applications. However, using chlorine in this way can leave a dangerous chemical residue that can irritate your skin, if not outright toxic.

There are also excellent alternatives to using chlorine for disinfecting microgreen trays. These cleaners are made using ingredients that are less harsh, leaving fewer toxins in the air. These cleaners will work just as well as chlorine, and can be purchased at just about any grocery or convenience store. Another alternative is to buy an inexpensive non-chlorine cleaner and use that to disinfect your trays.

Learning how to disinfect microgreen trays is a simple task that does not require any training. The products needed are easy to find and can be purchased at your local janitorial supply store. Disinfecting your microgreen cleaning supplies is an essential part of cleaning that every office should perform at least once per year. Cleaning your microgreen materials will save you money in the long run, protect the health of your employees, and make your office more attractive to customers.
