Cleaning POS Terminals & Credit Card Terminals
For all the teams working in the retail & hospitality industry, we hope you can remain safe over this period. We understand that the Point-of-Sale area should be disinfected regularly and that the POS Terminal and Credit Card Terminal are a hot spot for contact between your team members and the customer.
We would like to offer some tips regarding disinfecting these devices:
We have conducted numerous repetitive tests to confirm wiping with 75% alcohol on the aluminum chassis, plastics covers and display is effective to clean these surfaces with no problems to the POS materials. Please consult your POS supplier for further guidance if you did not purchase the POS equipment from SCT directly.
We recommend you use the following method:
• Turn off your POS system & Credit Card Terminal completely, include peripherals’ power, and unplug the power cables if possible.
• Get your cleaning material, such as lint-free cloth or cotton swab, prepared with cleaning solutions (e.g. 75% isopropyl alcohol).
• DO NOT use any cleaning solutions that contains Acetone, Nitric acid or Ammonia.
• Apply cleaning solution only on the cleaning material.
• Gently wipe the exterior surface and cleaning your POS system & PinPad in a well ventilated environment.
We sincerely wish you all the best of luck as you navigate through these tough times.
