What is the difference between cleaner and sanitizer?

The terms “cleaner” and “sanitizer” may be used in reference to cleaning your ice machine’s water distribution system, interior parts, and foodzone areas.   cleaner and sanitizer are equally important solutions that accomplish separate functions. Mixing the two solutions will cancel out their effects .

Ice machine cleaner, also called descaler, is a citric and phosphoric acid-based solution that breaks down buildup from lime scale and other minerals in ice machines.

Ice machine sanitizer removes slime and algae and kills bacteria that may have built up in the ice machine since the last cleaning.
