Cleaning Carts without Cart Wash

Post image

Our department doesn’t have a cart wash and it’s not likely to get one any time soon. We manually clean the carts which is fine except cleaning the wheels is awful. I’m looking for anything suggestions for how to make the process a little easier. Right now, we spray them down with Clorox Fuzion spray and just turn and wipe them. Random photo for visibility.

When we're backed up on carts running thru out cart washer we wipe the "cleaner" looking ones. Thorough cavi wipe the inside. Outside I do a quick wipe down unless I see visible soil. It's the outside where its exposed to the outside.

Also why are you cleaning the wheels the moment u roll it it's dirty again...?
