Proper CLO2 PPM Ranges for Commercial Sanitation

In commercial kitchens, bars, and breweries, cleanliness isn’t just about appearance—it’s about safety, taste, and compliance. Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is the go-to sanitizer for professionals who want power without the pitfalls of harsh chemicals. But using the right PPM level is the difference between safe disinfection and wasted effort. Whether you're rinsing produce, cleaning taps, or fogging a walk-in, knowing your numbers is the key to protecting your product—and your reputation.

ClO₂ in Commercial Settings: Get the Sanitizing Power Without the Guesswork

🍽️ Why More Commercial Businesses Are Switching to ClO₂

In food service, beverage production, and hospitality, clean isn’t optional—it’s a non-negotiable. From raw prep zones to restrooms and walk-ins, businesses need a sanitizer that’s strong enough to kill pathogens—but gentle enough for food-contact surfaces.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) checks every box:

  • Powerful antimicrobial with broad-spectrum kill
  • Leaves no sticky residue or chlorine taste
  • Works across misters, sprayers, foggers, and mop buckets
  • Safe for stainless steel, tile, glass, and more

But here’s the key: you’ve got to use the right PPM level for each task.


📏 Recommended ClO₂ PPM Ranges for Commercial Sanitation

Here’s how your kitchen, bar, brewery, or hospitality space should be using ClO₂—based on concentration ranges that get results.


Low Range Test Strip Bottle🍴 Low Range (10–100 PPM)

Best for:

  • Cutting boards, countertops, and food prep surfaces
  • Produce rinses (fruits, greens, and herbs)
  • Beverage lines and small equipment rinse
  • Utensils, tongs, tappers, and food-safe tools
  • Ice machines and bar top sanitizing

Why it works:
Kills bacteria and viruses without altering taste or leaving harsh residue. Safe for daily use with short dwell times.

✅ Tool: Use Low-Range ClO₂ Test Strips (0–100 PPM) to verify active strength before rinsing or wiping.


🧼 Mid Range (100–500 PPM)

Best for:

  • Deep cleaning commercial kitchen floors, walls, drains
  • Restroom sanitizing and odor control
  • Bulk containers, bins, and fermentation tanks
  • Beer taps and soda lines (pre or post-use)
  • Mop buckets and foggers for overnight sanitation

Why it works:
This range provides a broader kill zone and shortens contact time. Especially helpful between high-volume shifts or in high-traffic zones.

✅ Tool: Use Low- or High-Range Test Strips to confirm you’re within target PPM.


High Range Test Strip Bottle🍷 High Range (500–2500 PPM)

Best for:

  • Deep sanitation of walk-in coolers and storage rooms
  • Mold remediation or odor control after water damage
  • Fogging dining areas between shifts or after a health concern
  • Sanitizing barrels, kegs, or closed-loop brewing equipment
  • Post-outbreak cleaning or pest-sensitive zones

Why it works:
This is your reset button. Great for weekly deep cleans, seasonal shutdowns, or new occupancy transitions.

✅ Tool: Always verify your solution strength with High-Range ClO₂ Test Strips (0–2500 PPM) for accuracy.
