Cleanliness of the cheese dairy

Reception of milk in the cheese room. When collecting the milk at the cheese factory, the dust is rinsed from the watering cans before the lids are removed. The milk from each watering can is assessed and sorted separately according to the rules, which we will learn later. Empty watering cans should be washed carefully. A bristle brush is used for this purpose, scrubs inside and out with hot water with the addition of lime milk or soda, then rinses thoroughly with cold water and finally scalds off. The washing water should be changed frequently and so hot, so that the fat in it melts.
Keeping the cheese dairies clean is all about avoiding contamination, on destroying microbes and finally removing the dirt itself. The main thing is to destroy the microbes themselves. Their environment is usually dirt. Thus, by removing it, we also get rid of the main amount of microorganisms. In the cheese dairy, especially on the equipment, the dirt consists mainly of sticky milk components, which we remove most easily by dissolving them previously. Lime and soda, when they are not too diluted, they not only dissolve the casein and spray the fat, but also destroy microbes. The ideal disinfectant in dairies and cheese dairies is lime, first of all, that it is cheap and can be left on the equipment for a long time and secondly, that its remnants leave no negative effects. Lime forms insoluble salts with fatty acids, the presence of which, admittedly, the whitewashed sheets deprives them of their shine, but it does provide excellent service with the use of wooden utensils, e.g.. cheese vat. Lime soaps clog the tree's pores and make it impermeable to decaying fluids. Lime and baking soda, when they have been in operation long enough, rinse thoroughly, first with cold and then with hot water. Having to do with aluminum cookware (aluminium), which lye, like lime and soda harm by nibbling them, these disinfectants should not be used alone, but with the addition of certain protective measures. So the appendix 0,5 do 1% Water glass to soda completely protects aluminum vessels from corrosion.
The tree cannot stand too high temperatures, the more steam, for its fibers break apart. Also, do not use hard rice brushes to clean the tree, where it is about keeping its surface smooth.
After disinfecting with lime, the tin utensils are rinsed thoroughly and scalded, then sets it in the fresh air and the sun to dry, because the sun and the lack of moisture keep bacteria from growing. The same procedure is used for wooden vessels, however, they are not allowed to dry up.
The rinse water should be healthy, because the contaminated one is the source of many defects of milk and its products. Brushes, cloths and scarves also need to be decontaminated, because it often happens, that they are a source of infections.
