Guidelines For Retailers

We suggest using these two methods, as recommended by the CDC.

• Preferred Method: Clean the dispenser with soap and water and disinfect by wiping 70% isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) on the dispenser.
  • Do not spray it on, make sure to leave it on for at least 20 seconds and then rinse with water using a bucket and a sponge – never use a pressure washer or sprayer.
• Alternate Method (If preferred method above is not possible): Clean the dispenser with soap and water and disinfect by wiping a bleach solution (directions below) on the dispenser.
  • Do not spray it on, then rinse with water using a bucket and a sponge – never use a pressure washer or sprayer.

Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
• 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or
• 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water
• If the bleach to water ratio is greater than this, damage to the dispenser may occur

Other cleaning considerations for retailers:
• Do not use fuels or acetone or other types of alcohol (such as ethanol).
• Do not use any cleaner or polish with a citrus element.
• Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, sodium hydroxide or acids. Things like glass cleaner
contains ammonia and will cause damage to dispensers.
• Do not use strong solvents.
• Do not spray any cleaner or water into the card reader, receipt printer, cash acceptor or displays.

For Consumers:

• If possible, wipe the nozzle handle, buttons and keypads with a sanitizing cloth.
• During the pandemic, wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. If this isn’t possible, use hand sanitizer after operating a gas pump.
