Cleaning specialist Chicopee has launched a new biodegradable wipe specifically for the environment-conscious food service sector – the J-Cloth 3000.

Similar to the original J-Cloth, the new non-woven wipe is the first compostable and biodegradable product of its kind, and has been approved by the FCC (Food Contact Clearance).

Its texture and design still enables effective cleaning power and makes it easy to rinse, ensuring longer durability.

The J-Cloth 3000’s launch comes just months after a study showed that over half of cleaning cloths in restaurant and take-away kitchens contained “unacceptable” levels of bacteria.

The Health Protection Agency recommended that restaurants use disposable cloths that are changed regularly to maintain high hygiene levels.
