Maintaining cleanliness in commercial kitchens begins with a simple task: handwashing. Proper handwashing — 20 seconds with soap and water — is important for preventing the spread of germs and maintaining food safety.
According to the CDC, handwashing with soap and water can reduce germs by up to 99%, making it one of the most effective measures against foodborne illnesses. For commercial kitchens, this simple act must also balance compliance with health codes, user-friendliness and aesthetic design.
T&S Brass provides with its new stainless-steel hand wash sink packages, combining durability, compliance and visual appeal.
Reliable solutions for high-traffic environments
T&S offers two versatile hand wash sink configurations tailored for various kitchen needs:
- Sink with backsplash and side splash shields: Ideal for high-traffic areas, these sinks include side splash shields to enhance water protection and minimize cleaning needs.
- Sink with backsplash only: A space-efficient option perfect for compact installations or areas where extra splash protection isn’t required.
Each sink package features a robust 14″ x 10″ basin made from 20-gauge stainless steel, ensuring durability and easy maintenance. Users can choose from premium T&S manual or sensor-operated wall-mount faucets, including hydro-generator sensor models for touchless operation. Both packages come with a drain assembly and removable strainer basket, delivering the exceptional quality and reliability T&S is known for.
With a one-year warranty, these hand wash sinks are built to support the demanding standards of modern commercial kitchens.
Building a culture of cleanliness
Equipment alone doesn’t guarantee a clean workspace. Cultivating a culture of cleanliness requires teamwork, training and clear policies. For instance, positioning handwashing stations strategically near food prep areas, providing signage and reinforcing protocols ensure proper hygiene becomes second nature for food service staff.
When paired with stainless-steel hand wash sinks like those from T&S Brass, these small adjustments make a big impact, helping commercial kitchens maintain a safe and clean environment.
Future-ready solutions
As in most industries, the future lies in technological advancements. For instance, touchless motion-sensor faucets support water conservation by activating only when they detect movement and shut off automatically after the metering time has elapsed.
While the fundamentals of handwashing remain unchanged, investing in durable, efficient and adaptable solutions like T&S Brass hand wash sinks futureproof kitchens for evolving demands. By combining innovative tools with a commitment to food safety, commercial kitchens can set new standards in cleanliness.
