NYC Health Inspections and Kitchen Cleanliness: Is Your Sanitizer Compliant?

Serving Restaurants Across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx and More!

Running a restaurant in NYC is tough — and health inspections can make or break your business. Whether you operate a small café in Bushwick or a multi-level restaurant in Midtown, one bad grade from the NYC Department of Health (DOH) can result in:

• Fines

• Temporary closure

• Damaged reputation

• Lost customers

One of the most common violations? Improper use of cleaning and sanitizing chemicals.

At Sani Wash, we supply NYC restaurants with DOH-compliant sanitizers, degreasers, and dish machine solutions — so you can focus on food and service, not surprise violations.

➡️ Common Health Code Violations (and How to Avoid Them)

➡️ Violation: Improper sanitizing of food contact surfaces

✅ Fix: Use a food-safe, EPA-registered sanitizer with clear dilution instructions (Sani Wash offers ready-to-use and concentrate options)

➡️ Violation: Incorrect sanitizer concentration

✅ Fix: Use sanitizer test strips with every batch; Sani Wash supplies these with every order

➡️ Violation: Inadequate warewashing (dish machine or 3-compartment sink)

✅ Fix: Use high-temp dish machines with correct rinse aid and detergent dosing — or our approved low-temp chemical system

➡️ Violation: Chemicals stored next to food

✅ Fix: Use labeled, color-coded bottles and a dedicated cleaning storage rack (we can help set that up!)
