I’ve seen it, but I have no idea if it works.

Maybe I’m stupid but that seems like a really nice environment for bacteria.

Will there ever be a day where the servers use the quat sanitizer for this? I can’t imagine cutting a lemon is easier than walking the 5 steps to dish for sanny

do you want to make fruit flies? ‘cause that’s how you make fruit flies. i’d be furious.

No bueno

Seems so wasteful. You have soap/water/sanitizer and could just use that but using up lemons instead and having to prep more lemons because you used the others to “clean”. That sticky lemon juice is going to attract pests

According to Ecosure, the proper way to clean and store soda nozzles is to sanitize with quat sanitizer at 150-400ppm and then air dry. Everyone gets this so wrong.

But like how hard is it to just run those things through dish???

This screams of either two things, none who are correct, number one is “I’ve seen a life hack tiktok”, number two is “my manager always did it this way”

I heard of this method for cleaning microwaves, but I’ve never tried it. Apparently, you’d put that in chef Mike on high for 5 minutes, then clean with soapy hot water. It’s supposed to “deodorize and loosen debris”
But for wiping down counters? Yuck…

Buy anhydrous citric acid if you want to descale stuff.

This trick is meant for microwaves but you are meant to squeeze the juice into the water.
Zap for five min and leave for 10 min with the door closed, then wipe down.

You run out of vinegar?

This is stupid and isn’t cleaning anything. Buy a baby bottle dishwasher basket and send those through the dish tank, easy peasy and they never get lost.

This looks like the same logic that Caribbean households have when it comes to dealing with meat lol

I’m sorry, but what is being cleaned here?

When I see something like this I just assume we’re out of containers so they married them.

Sanitize with quat. Enzymatic presoak or soda water for removing buildup.

Vinegar and lemon make disinfectant according to my girls brother who works bar at weddings 🤷♂️ I ain’t doing that shit tho

Ew I’ve seen servers do this at my restaurant. I always try to explain that it’s gross and we literally have sanitizer for this exact purpose. I’ve seen others clean with soda water….

I like myths like these. Keeps the good times rolling. Sani water? Our forefathers used lemons and that’s good enough for me.

Thank you for reminding me of the 5am closes I worked asking if all we really needed to do with the nozzles was soak them in soda for a minute🥴
