Balancing Cost and Effectiveness in Sanitation for Microbial Control

Balancing cost and effectiveness in sanitation comes down to understanding your facility's specific risks and needs. Start by targeting high-risk areas and prioritising methods that give the best results for those zones—like focusing on RTE areas or hard-to-clean equipment. Sometimes a combination of cleaning agents or rotating sanitisers can help save money while maintaining effectiveness. Also, investing in staff training goes a long way; even the best methods won’t work if they’re not applied properly. Regular testing and audits can help fine-tune your approach so you're not overspending but still keeping contamination in check.
