5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and effectiveness of your SPARTA Industrial Tank Brush:
- Rinse After Each Use: Immediately after each cleaning task, thoroughly rinse the brush head and bristles under running water to remove all cleaning solution residues and debris.
- Clean Bristles: If stubborn debris is caught in the bristles, use a comb or another brush to gently remove it. Avoid pulling or tearing the bristles.
- Sanitize (If Required): If used in environments requiring strict hygiene, sanitize the brush according to your facility's sanitation protocols. The polyester bristles are resistant to many common cleaning solutions.
- Air Dry: Hang the brush or place it in a position that allows the bristles to air dry completely. Avoid storing it in damp or enclosed spaces, which can promote bacterial growth.
- Storage: Store the brush in a clean, dry area, preferably hanging to maintain bristle shape.
