Subject: Sanitizing ice bucket
From: FullbloodedScot

Hi there. I help out with some bartending at a private club in the Los Angeles 
area. Last night I was working barback for the head bartender, and another 
lady was also working part of the bar. We make frequent trips to the ice 
maker. This one lady, before turning the bucket upside down at the sink, would 
spray it with liquid sanitizer after each and every use (around every 45 
minutes or so). The head bartender just said at the end of the night. I 
personally thought that spraying any kind of chemical into a bucket used for 
cocktail ice that often was unnecessary. She said it was a county thing. So 
with the one lady around 5-7 spray downs of the inside of the bucket. 

I think it is way too much use of a chemical, whatever is in it. Does anybody 
have any comments on this? Is there anywhere to find official county info on 
this? 

Thanks,

Bruno
