To ensure that the characteristics of the equipment remain unchanged over time, wash thoroughly after each use using chlorinated or acidic base solutions (with a concentration of 1 to 2 %). In order not to damage the surface of products, also, avoid using solutions containing nitric acid, an element particularly harmful to polypropylene. Also avoid the use of abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic. Once washed and sanitized, dry your equipment thoroughly before storing.
When not using equipment, store it in a dry, clean place away from heat and direct sunlight. Also avoid overlapping or compressing them too much so as not to alter their shape and characteristics. Then check your plastic equipment regularly for signs of damage or wear. In the event of cracks, breakage or deformation, it is advisable to immediately replace the equipment to ensure the safety and quality of the prepared cakes.
Choosing quality equipment and following the correct use and maintenance practices will ensure excellent results in the preparation. For more information on plastic equipment for pastry or other solutions proposed by IFT, contact us!
