For effective sanitization, the minimum strength of a quats solution used to sanitize implements is:

  1. 1:500

  2. 1:1000

  3. 1:2000

  4. 1:1500

The correct answer is: 1:1000

Sanitization is a process that destroys or reduces the number of microorganisms present on a surface to a safe level. For quaternary ammonium (quats) solutions, the minimum strength required for effective sanitization is 11000. The other options, 1:500, 1:2000, and 1:1500, are incorrect as they do not meet the minimum strength requirement for effective sanitization. Choosing a solution with a lower strength could result in inadequate sanitization and potential health risks for those using the implements. It is important to follow the recommended guidelines and use a solution that is strong enough to effectively sanitize the implements.
