Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for washing a glass container comprising the steps of washing the glass container with a liquid containing a chelating agent, and controlling the concentration of the free-available chelating agent within the liquid by a colorimetric detection. The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out such a method and the use of such an apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to acidic sanitizing and/or cleaning compositions comprising a specific quaternary antimicrobial system consisting of C1-C4 hydroxyalkyl carboxylic acids, C5-C18 alkyl monocarboxylic acids, unsubstituted or substituted, saturated or unsaturated C4-dicarboxylic acids and additional inorganic or organic acids. The compositions of the present invention can be present in the form of concentrates and in the form of diluted use solutions. They can be used in a process for sanitizing and/or cleaning hard surfaces, preferably in a cleaning-in-place (CIP) and/or sanitize-in-place (SIP) process for cleaning and/or sanitizing plants in the food, dairy, beverage, brewery and soft drink industries.

Abstract: A composition for a removing soil is described. The composition has a carboxylated imino compound and optionally an oxidizing agent. The composition displays excellent cleaning properties on processing equipment such as the equipment found in breweries, dairy plants and carbonated beverage plants. The composition also displays excellent lipid-based and protein-based soil removal.
