Thanks Rob, I wish I had lids, anything to save the massive cleaning efforts. I firmly believe in disinfecting correctly. (read the instructions and follow them) The only way I have found to do so with a lidless rack is to remove all the heat tape disinfect each shelf and side flip the rack upside down and disinfect the 'top' and than dry it out return everything and finish up. It takes a day of effort I do this every two months I just can't bring myself every month. I would NEVER again have a rack with out lids. The time saving is monstrous! I figure 6 hours ever cleaning.
Incorrect disinfecting has been linked to not only disinfectant resistance in bacteria, virus. But antibiotic resistance as well (even if the bacterium has never been treated with that antibiotic) This is a HUGE reason to push for correct disinfecting practices!
spotlessly clean - saturate with disinfectant- wait the correct contact times
