Well lets get a little personal
I own a dog daycare
I have been having trouble with sanitation
I soak the bowls and wash the toys and tennis balls in bleach every other day.
I bought special kennel cleaner to spray on the floor and the tools we use, garbgage cans, fencing, etc.
The kennel cleaner is very expensive.
Despite the intense amount of cleaning we do here, we still occasionally have problems with dogs getting ill, coughs, diarrehea, etc. Nothing serious, but I wonder if there is a better cheaper way to keep things clean.
Bleach and the kennel cleaner require extra rinsing and the kennel cleaner specifically require me to take all the dogs outside while it drys, as the vapors are dangerous.
Star San? Is it possible that it is as strong as the kennel cleaner and being no rinse, that is is completly harmless?
*main ingredient kennel cleaner: Didecyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride, Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride
*main ingredient Star San: Dodecylebenzenesulfonic Acid, Phosphoric Acid
I certainly understand this is maybe a question best ansewred by Star San themselves, but I know many of you on this site are engineers and lab assistants, etc. Is it possible someone knows what those diff main ingredients do and can tell me if Star San is strong enough to be a safe, no rinse cleanser on the concrete floor and brick walls and dog bowls and toys, etc? Star San is muuuuuuch cheaper than the kennel cleaner...
Thanks if anyone knows anything.
