- [The difference between ATP testing, dipslides, and RODAC plates in hygiene monitoring](https://ccd.eu/blog/hygiene-monitoring-atp-testing-dipslides-rodac/): Hygiene checks are essential to ensure safety and quality in industries such as food production, healthcare, catering, large kitchens, as well as education and childcare organizations. Various methods exist to assess cleanliness levels, each with specific characteristics, advantages, and applications. In this blog, we explain the differences between three commonly used techniques: ATP testing, dipslides, and RODAC plates. This insight helps you determine which method best fits your hygiene management approach to comply with HACCP principles, cleaning protocols, or hygiene and infection prevention guidelines set by public health authorities such as the GGD.
- [Reliable hydrogen peroxide room disinfection requires objective validation of effectiveness](https://ccd.eu/blog/reliable-hydrogen-peroxide-room-disinfection/): In healthcare, food processing, and industrial environments, maintaining consistently clean and demonstrably sanitized rooms is essential to prevent contamination and infections. At a time when labor resources are increasingly scarce, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) room disinfection offers a significantly less labor-intensive, residue-free and sustainable alternative to traditional disinfection methods. Using advanced bio-indicators like the DES-controller, the effectiveness of room disinfection can be objectively and reliably verified.
- [Why is the right professional dishwasher use essential for hygiene in healthcare facilities?](https://ccd.eu/blog/professional-dishwasher-in-healthcare-facilities/): A professional dishwasher does not operate like a domestic appliance. The layout, wash cycles, and particularly temperature and disinfection steps are designed to achieve controlled hygiene outcomes. According to standards such as HACCP and the Dutch SRI guidelines for cleaning in healthcare, disinfection must be measurably demonstrable. Relying solely on temperature registration or adherence to settings is often insufficient; the key question remains whether biological agents are effectively eliminated in every cycle.
- [Strengthening Listeria control with smart testing solutions for reliable food safety](https://ccd.eu/blog/listeria-control-testing/): Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that ranks among the most persistent challenges in the food industry. What makes this pathogen particularly concerning is its ability to survive and grow at low temperatures, such as those found in refrigerators between approximately 4 and 5 °C. This capability makes Listeria a serious threat to chilled, pre-packaged foods including fresh-cut vegetables, soft cheeses, fish products, and ready-to-eat meals. Due to the severe health risks - especially for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and the elderly - regulatory authorities like the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) and European agencies maintain a strong focus on controlling Listeria contamination.
- [VSR cleaning audits: the key to sustainable cleaning quality and trust](https://ccd.eu/blog/vsr-cleaning-audits-sustainable-quality-trust/): In today’s cleaning industry, delivering visible results is no longer enough. Quality control has become crucial for sustainable facility hygiene. The VSR Quality Measurement System (in NL known as VSR-KMS) is an industry-leading tool used by professional cleaning companies to objectively measure cleaning performance and systematically verify outcomes. But what truly sets VSR cleaning audits apart? And how do they contribute to the ongoing improvement and professionalization of cleaning services?
- [Salmonella Enteritidis in laying flocks: rising risks and the value of dipslides for routine hygiene monitoring](https://ccd.eu/blog/salmonella-enteritidis-in-laying-flocks-rising-risks-and-the-value-of-dipslides-for-routine-hygiene-monitoring/): Since mid-2023, the number of Salmonella Enteritidis infections in the Netherlands has risen sharply, alongside an increase in contaminated laying hen flocks. For egg producers, this trend means greater pressure for control and more intensive hygiene monitoring. Dipslides provide a simple, affordable method for extra Salmonella detection, helping to protect both food safety and public health.
- [Monitoring Hygiene with Dipslides: A Step-by-Step Guide for Bacterial Testing](https://ccd.eu/blog/monitoring-hygiene-with-dipslides-a-step-by-step-guide-for-bacterial-testing/): Dipslides are frequently used to check the hygiene of surfaces, equipment, and products. They can also be used to monitor bacterial load in cooling water, process water, swimming pools, and wellness resorts. They help you comply with standards such as NEN-ISO 17381 and are also suitable for checking stable hygiene or monitoring metalworking fluids. In this work instruction, we will explain step-by-step how to correctly use dipslides so you can easily monitor the microbiological condition of surfaces and liquids yourself.
- [RODAC plates versus Dipslides for infallible hygiene control](https://ccd.eu/blog/the-ultimate-comparison-rodac-plates-versus-dipslides-for-infallible-hygiene-control/): RODAC plates and dipslides are both reliable methods for microbiological hygiene control, but vary in application, advantages and disadvantages. This blog explains the differences and provides advice in which situations it is best to choose RODAC plates or dipslides.
- [Microbiological surface testing with RODAC Plates: A step-by-step guide for hygiene monitoring](https://ccd.eu/blog/microbiological-surface-testing-with-rodac-plates-a-step-by-step-guide-for-hygiene-monitoring/): During our training course "Microbiology in Practice," we combine theory and hands-on practice. Participants learn how to perform RODAC plate sampling themselves and how to assess incubated RODAC plates, as well as more about the rationale behind hygiene and various hygiene measures. In some cases, a clear work instruction is sufficient. That’s why in this blog we explain step-by-step how you can use RODAC plates to monitor the microbiological condition of your products or surfaces. This is a general approach that may require adjustments in detail to fit your specific situation.
- [Ensuring Food Safety with the DES-Controller: A bio-indicator for verification of pasteurization and hygiene in the food industry](https://ccd.eu/blog/ensuring-food-safety-with-the-des-controller-a-bio-indicator-for-verification-of-pasteurization-and-hygiene-in-the-food-industry/): The DES controller is a reliable bio-indicator for easily, quickly, and cost-effectively monitoring and verifying pasteurization and hygiene processes in the food industry. This ensures demonstrable food safety in accordance with strict quality standards such as FSSC 22000.
- [Biological agents in healthcare: current risks, new SRI guidelines, and the importance of reliable disinfection control](https://ccd.eu/blog/biological-agents-in-healthcare-current-risks-new-sri-guidelines-and-the-importance-of-reliable-disinfection-control/): Biological agents are an increasing point of interest in healthcare. This collective term includes microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can cause serious health risks upon exposure, ranging from infections to allergies and poisoning. In hospitals, nursing homes, and other care facilities, the risk of spreading biological agents is high due to the intensive contact with patients, and the consequences of infection can be severe.
- [Resistant hospital bacteria: A growing concern outside the hospital ](https://ccd.eu/blog/resistant-hospital-bacteria-a-growing-concern-outside-the-hospital/): Resistant hospital bacteria (CPE) are increasingly found outside hospitals, particularly in the food chain and among animals. This highlights the need to verify whether washing processes effectively eliminate these bacteria. The DES-controller is a reliable bio-indicator that objectively measures the effectiveness of textile disinfection without risk to users or the environment. Using this tool helps prevent the spread of resistant bacteria and ensures hygiene standards are met.
- [Save a lot of money and waste with washable coveralls and hairnets](https://ccd.eu/blog/save-a-lot-of-money-and-waste-with-washable-coveralls-and-hairnets/): In greenhouse farming, hygiene and crop protection play an increasingly important role. We wrote about it earlier in our blog Periodic process checks by CCD. Apart from the regular company clothing for the employees, many disposable materials were used there, while increasingly professional washing machines with special washing processes for the demonstrable disinfection of clothing were in house. Therefore, lightweight and durable overalls and visitor coats have now been developed as alternatives to disposable clothing. These washable alternatives are much more comfortable to wear, wear resistant, airy and completely customizable. This ensures a professional appearance of the protective clothing, which can be comfortably worn by visitors and externals even in warm places.
- [Stronger together: why CCD became a member of Vematex](https://ccd.eu/blog/stronger-together-why-ccd-became-a-member-of-vematex/): At Cleaning Consultancy Delft (CCD), we believe that cooperation and knowledge sharing is essential to moving the industrial laundry industry forward. This is why we are proud members of Vematex, the association for suppliers of products and services to the textile care industry, since 2024. With our active participation, including the role of our director/owner Anthony Hendriks on the board of the association, we at CCD are committed to the future of the industry together with the other members.
- [Regular process checks by CCD: a sustainable and virus-free washing process for industrial clothing in greenhouse horticulture](https://ccd.eu/blog/periodic-process-checks-by-ccd-a-sustainable-and-virus-free-washing-process-for-industrial-clothing-in-greenhouse-horticulture/): In the greenhouse industry, it is essential to disinfect company clothing correctly to prevent infections by viruses such as ToBRFV (Tomato virus) or, for example, CGMMV (Cucumber virus). These viruses have already caused great damage worldwide and, once in the greenhouse, are extremely difficult to fight . Strict hygiene protocols, including the mandatory use of company clothing, are important measures. Nevertheless, standard washing processes for industrial clothing were found to be insufficient to kill these viruses. An effective approach is therefore crucial to keep the virus out of the greenhouse and prevent further spread.
- [The importance of bioindicators for controlling sterilizers and autoclaves](https://ccd.eu/blog/the-importance-of-bioindicators-for-controlling-sterilizers-and-autoclaves/): In the healthcare and medical sectors, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, food industry and animal care and dentistry, for example, it is vital to thoroughly sterilize materials and instruments. Sterilization ensures that microorganisms on or in an item are killed or inactivated, which is essential for the safety of patients, employees and consumers. To verify that this process is actually successful, the use of bioindicators is a reliable way to measure the effectiveness of sterilization processes.
