Finding a positive drain swab above your identified threshold when you are ready to start production is not how you want to start your day. As you work to identify the root cause of the issue, here are 3 things to evaluate and address in a Corrective Action Plan for floor drain cleaning and hygiene.
-
Inadequate Chemistry
ProvaCharge® Foam is designed to destroy biofilm and the bacteria colonies within it. ProvaCharge creates a thick foam that clings to drains, penetrating and killing biofilm bacteria and eliminating foodborne pathogens such as Listeria.
Shock treatment: When beginning a treatment programme, Sterilex recommends a “shock treatment.” Apply ProvaCharge Foam to drains 3–5 consecutive times.
Preventative maintenance: Add ProvaCharge to your microbial monitoring programme to eliminate environmental positives in drains.

Ineffective Equipment
Do you have equipment dedicated specifically to drains? If so, has that equipment been sanitised between uses to prevent cross-contamination? ProvaCharge Foam offers 360-degree contact and we recommend a drain foam attachment customised to seal off the top of the drain cavity and ensure the most effective and efficient cleaning process. Once attached, it generates a thick foam and facilitates application of the foam past the trap and into the drain line.

Improper Application
Manually scrubbing floor drains not only creates a cross-contamination issue, but also leaves room for user error, and we recognise that labour is one of your top headaches.
ProvaCharge Foam removes the necessity to manually scrub floor drains. Simply fill the drain and walk away.
Plus, we’ve created step-by-step visual application instructions in simple One Point Lessons for both Standard + Trench Drains. These visual guides can help ensure your sanitation crew properly applies ProvaCharge Foam.
