Why Use a Boot Washer?

Contaminated footwear can quickly spread bacteria through a production area. Installing boot washers ensures all staff entering or leaving hygiene-critical zones thoroughly clean soles and boots, reducing contamination risks and helping maintain compliance with BRCGS and SALSA standards.

Types of Boot Washers Available

  • Walkthrough boot washers – for high-traffic hygiene entrances.

  • Automatic sole cleaning stations – hands-free cleaning for efficiency.

  • Manual boot wash stations – compact and cost-effective for smaller sites.

  • Combination units – integrating boot washers with hand wash basins or turnstiles for full hygiene control.

Choosing the Right Boot Washer

When selecting a boot washer or boot wash station, consider:

  • Number of users – single-user vs multi-user systems.

  • Available space – compact units or full walkthrough stations.

  • Cleaning level – sole-only cleaning vs full boot washing.

  • Automation – manual brushes or automatic rotating systems.

What is the difference between a boot washer and a boot wash station?

A boot washer is the machine used for cleaning footwear, while a boot wash station refers to the full hygiene setup, which may include sole cleaners, brushes, turnstiles, and hand wash units.

Are boot washers required for food safety audits?

Many BRCGS, SALSA, and retailer standards recommend or require boot wash stations at hygiene entrances to reduce contamination risks.

Can boot washers clean both soles and sides of boots?

Yes. Some models clean soles only, while others include side brushes for thorough cleaning.

Do you supply spare parts for boot washers?

Yes, AES Food Equipment provides replacement brushes, pumps, and components to keep your boot washers operating efficiently.
