In the restaurant industry, cleanliness isn't just about appearances — it’s about food safety, regulatory compliance, guest satisfaction, and operational efficiency. Selectrocide® chlorine dioxide offers a powerful yet flexible solution to meet all of these needs with one product.
Selectrocide is trusted as a restaurant disinfectant for sanitizing surfaces, produce, water, and even the air — all while simplifying processes, saving time, and reducing costs.
Did You Know?
According to the CDC, 48 million Americans get sick from foodborne illness every year (the equivalent of sickening 1 in 6 Americans each year), with restaurants and commercial kitchens being a common source (CDC, 2024). Investing in better sanitation isn’t just compliance — it’s protection.
A Versatile, Food-Safe Solution for the Entire Restaurant
1. Surface Disinfection
Selectrocide is ideal for disinfecting surfaces like prep tables, cutting boards, walls, floors, and equipment. This helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination and supports longer shelf life for ingredients and prepared food.
2. Water Treatment
Selectrocide is used to treat water in restaurants, keeping rinse water and produce wash free from harmful microorganisms. Clean water is critical for food safety and helps prevent waterborne illnesses from entering the food supply.
3. Airborne Sanitization
Chlorine dioxide can be applied as a gas to disinfect the air in food prep areas, walk-ins, and restrooms. It reaches high surfaces, vents, and corners, helping control airborne pathogens that other cleaners miss.
4. Equipment Sterilization
Selectrocide is effective on hard-to-clean kitchen equipment such as mixers, slicers, and blenders — ensuring food safety in every corner of your kitchen.
5. Food Contact Surfaces
As an EPA-registered/FDA-approved sanitizer for food service, Selectrocide is approved for direct use on food contact surfaces like counters, prep stations, and conveyor belts.
6. Fruit and Vegetable Washing
Selectrocide is an excellent produce disinfectant that removes bacteria and biofilm without impacting taste, texture, or shelf life. It’s a safe, FDA-compliant chlorine dioxide food safety solution.
7. Beverage Line Disinfection
Biofilm and bacteria buildup in soda and beer lines can lead to poor taste, odor, and even health risks. Selectrocide simplifies how to sanitize beverage lines and ice machines with one easy-to-use solution.
8. Meat Processing & Prep Areas
Selectrocide helps reduce microbial contamination on surfaces and tools used in raw meat, poultry, and seafood prep. A single restaurant cleaning solution that works across proteins and prep stations supports better workflow and safety.
