Tips & Tricks_Brushes

Brushware

  • Fine bristle brushes tend to clog quickly and be difficult and time consuming to clean when used with fine dry powders like cocoa, icing sugar, starches, and gelatine.

  • Choose medium bristle brushes to clean up larger loose dry soils like granulated sugar, cocoa beans, and nibs, dried fruit and nuts, chocolate chips, etc.

  • Choose stiff-bristled brushes to remove sticky, sugary, and fatty deposits as part of a controlled wet clean.

  

Squeegees

  • A fully molded, single-bladed squeegee is a great alternative to the use of a fine bristle brush for the removal of fine dry powders like cocoa, icing sugar, starches, and gelatine. They don’t clog and are much easier and faster to clean.

  • They also work well for cleaning surfaces of molten confectionary.

Tips & Tricks_Scrapers


Scrapers

Scrapers are an effective way of removing set, and semi-liquid sugar confectionary from surfaces. Take care to choose a scraper blade material that effectively removes the soil but doesn’t damage the surface being cleaned.

  

Dedicated colors

Use equipment of a dedicated color to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. For example,

  • Orange for products that contain gelatine
  • Green for those that are gelatine-free
