Advice for Retailers:
There are many recommendations on solutions for cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces, but some chemicals are too harsh and can damage fuel dispensers. Ammonia-based cleaners weaken and damage bezel doors, screens, and other vital dispenser components.
Consumer Reports also advises against using ammonia-based solutions.
We suggest using a diluted household bleach solution, as recommended by the CDC.
- Clean the dispenser with soap and water, then disinfect with the bleach solution
- Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
- 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or
- 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water
- Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
Other cleaning considerations for retailers:
- Do not use fuels or acetone
- 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 contain 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
