What does Florida violation V40 (Wiping cloths usage) mean?

CONTAMINATION SPREAD: Improperly used wiping cloths are one of the most common contamination vehicles in food service. A single dirty cloth spreads millions of bacteria across every surface wiped. Cloths used on raw meat surfaces and then food contact surfaces cause direct cross-contamination. Bacteria double every 20 minutes on damp cloths at room temperature. Wet wiping cloths must be stored in sanitizer solution between uses: chlorine 50-100 ppm or quaternary ammonium 200-400 ppm. Change solution every 4 hours or when visibly soiled. Use separate cloths for food contact vs. non-food contact surfaces. Dry wiping cloths may be used on food contact surfaces only if laundered daily. Test sanitizer concentration with test strips.
