Chicopee’s Chix® Quat-Safe™ foodservice towels are engineered with a patented chemistry that will not deplete quaternary sanitizer solutions. Using Quat-Safe™ towels ensures that your sanitizer is at a safe level protecting you from a potential citation. FDA Food Code 3-304.14 B2 specifically states:

Wiping Cloths, Use Limitations - Cloths used for wiping food spills shall be wet and cleaned as specified under 4-802.11(D), stored in a chemical sanitizer at a concentration specified in 4-501.114, and used for wiping spills from food-contact and nonfood-contact surfaces of equipment. This requires a solution that can be prepared and maintained at a concentration level to satisfy not only the FDA standard, but also any additional state or local regulations that may apply.

A recent study shows that traditional and nonwoven towels reduced quaternary sanitizer solutions immediately by 39% followed by a total reduction of 62% over four hours. Solutions with Quat-Safe™ towels were consistently above 200 PPM.
