Brush Focus: Hygienic Brushes


To reduce the risk of bacterial migration and cross-contamination, it is imperative to use hygienic brushes for cleaning and material handling, where hygiene and safety are critical. Hygienic brushes are typically used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, hospital, and other industries where utmost cleanliness, and unique requirements are required. In many cases, hygienic brushes also need to be FDA compliant to ensure products are manufactured under strict GMP guidelines. Depending upon the industry, many brushes must meet certain official standards.

All hygienic brushes are metal free and come in a variety of shapes, styles, fill material, and sizes. Color-coded hygienic brushes are a mainstay of the food and beverage industry. Hygienic brushes can take the form of small, hand held scrub and utility brushes; tube brushes; duster brushes; floor brooms and squeegees; vat/tank brushes; and bottle brushes.
