Cleaning and Sanitizing
Cleaning is the process of removing food
and other types of soil from a surface
such
as a countertop or plate.
Sanitizing is the process of reducing the
number of microorganisms on that
surface
to safe levels.
Everything in your operation must be kept
clean; however, any surface that comes in
contact with food must be cleaned and
sanitized. All food-contact surfaces must be
washed, rinsed, and sanitized:
 After each use.
 When you begin working with another type of
food.
 Any time you are interrupted during a task and
the tools or items you have been working with
may have been contaminated.
 At four-hour intervals if the items are in
constant use.
Cleaning
Factors That Affect the Cleaning Process
 Condition of soil
 Water Hardness
 Water Temperature
 Cleaning Agent and Surface Being
Cleaned
 Agitation or Pressure
 Length of Treatment
see Exhibit 11a
Cleaning Agents
Cleaning agents are compounds which remove
food, soil, rust, stains, minerals, or other deposits.
 Choose cleaning agents for specific cleaning
properties.
 Check with suppliers to find out which
compounds are suitable for your needs
 Cleaning agents must be stable, noncorrosive,
and safe for employees to use.
 Never combine compounds or attempt to
make up your own cleaning agents.
Four Categories of Cleaning Agents
 Detergents
 Solvent Cleaners
 Abrasive Cleaners
 Acid Cleaners
Detergents
Different types for all types of cleaning
jobs.
All detergents contain surfactants
(surface
acting agents) that reduce surface tension
between the soil and the surface, so the
detergent can quickly penetrate and soften
the soil. The alkaline level varies.
Solvent Cleaners
Often called degreasers, are alkaline detergents
that
contain a grease-dissolving agent.
Acid Cleaners
Acid cleaners are used on mineral deposits and
other soil that alkaline cleaners can’t remove.
Abrasive Cleaners
Abrasive cleaners contain a scouring agent such as
silica that helps scrub off hard-to-remove soils.
Sanitizing
Two Methods that can be used to Sanitize
surfaces.
 Heat Sanitizing- The higher the heat, the
shorter the time required to kill
microorganisms.
 Chemical Sanitizing- Effective, reasonably
priced, and easy to use. Do not use any
sanitizer on a food-contact surface
unless it is EPA approved.
The three most common types of Sanitizers
 Chlorine
 Iodine
 Quaternary Ammonium Compounds
(quats)
see Exhibit 11b
Factors Influencing the Effectiveness
of Sanitizers
 Contact Time
 Selectivity (some may be more effective in
their ability to kill certain microorganisms.)
 Temperature (work best at temperatures
between 75 degrees F to 120 degrees F.
 Concentration (use a test kit to check the
concentration of a sanitizing solution.)
see Exhibit 11c
Machine Warewashing
They range in size from single-tank, stationary-rack
machines to multi-tank flight-type machines. They
sanitize by using either hot water or a chemical-
sanitizing solution.
 High-Temperature Machines- Final sanitizing rinse
must be at least 180 degrees F. Stationary-rack
single temperature machines, final sanitizing rinse
must be at least 165 degrees F.
 Chemical-Sanitizing Machines- Wash at no less
than 120 degrees F. Rinse-water temperature
should be between 75 and 120 degrees F.
The effectiveness of a warewashing program
will depend on:
 Sufficient water supply
 A well-planned layout (see Exhibit 11e)
 Separate area for cleaning pots and pans.
 Devices to indicate water pressure and
temperature.
 Devices that automatically dispense
detergent and sanitizer.
 Protected areas for clean tableware and
utensils
 Trained employees.
All warewashing machines should be operated
according to manufacturers’ instructions.
General procedures to follow to clean and
sanitize tableware, utensils, and related items.
 Check and clean as often as needed.
 Make sure detergent and sanitizer are properly
loaded.
 Scrape, rinse, or soak items before washing.
 Load racks correctly and use racks designed for the
items being washed.
 Check temperature and pressure.
 Check each rack after coming out of the machine.
 Air dry all items.
 Keep machine in good repair.
Manual Warewashing
Three-compartment sinks are mostly
required.
A properly set up warewashing station will
include:
 An area for scraping or rinsing off food.
 Drain boards to hold both soiled and
clean items.
 A thermometer in each sink to measure
water temperature.
 A clock with a second hand.
Follow the these steps when washing and
sanitizing all tableware, utensils, and
equipment (see Exhibit 11f)
 Step 1: Rinse, scrape, or soak
 Step 2: Wash (temperature 110 degrees F.)
 Step 3: Rinse (temperature 110 degrees F.)
 Step 4: Sanitize (If hot-water immersion is
used, the water must be at least 171
degrees F. Some health codes require 180
degrees F.)
 Step 5: Air Dry
Cleaning and Sanitizing Equipment
Clean-in-place Equipment must be cleaned
and sanitized every day unless otherwise
indicated by the manufacturer.
Stationary Equipment in general, follow
these steps:
 Turn off and unplug
 Remove food and soil
 Remove detachable parts
 Wash and rinse fixed surfaces
 Keep cloths used for food-contact and
non-food-contact surfaces separate.
 Air dry all parts
 Resanitize food-contact surfaces that
were touched putting parts back on
Refrigerated Units
When cleaning and sanitizing, follow these
suggestions:
 Clean before taking deliveries
 Move food to another unit before
cleaning
 Wash, rinse, and sanitize shelves
regularly
Cleaning the Kitchen
Kitchen floors, walls, shelves, ceiling, light
fixtures, and drains. To clean floors, follow
these steps:
 Mark with signs or safety cones
 Sweep first
 Use a deck or scrub brush and full-strength
detergents on heavy soiled areas
 Mop or pressure-spray the area
 work from walls towards drain
 clean a ten-foot by ten-foot area with both
sides of mop.

Using Hazardous Materials
Chemicals when used improperly, may
become a health hazard that can cause
injury.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
(OSHA) requires employers to comply with their
Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). This
standard, also known as Right-to-Know or
HAZCOM, requires employers to tell their
employees
about chemical hazards to which they may be
exposed to at the establishment.
A hazard communication program must
include the following components:
 An inventory of hazardous chemicals
 Chemical labeling procedures
 Chemical name
 Manufacture’s name and address
 Potential hazards of the chemical
 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
 Information about safe use and handling
 Physical, health, fire, and reactivity
hazards
 Precautions
 Appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) to wear

 Existence and requirements of the Hazard
Communication Standard
 How the hazard communication program
is implemented
 Operations and processes where
hazardous chemicals are used
 The inventory of chemicals
 The location of MSDS
 How to read the MSDS and product labels
 Physical and health hazards
 Specific procedures adopted to provide
protection
 Using PPE, and steps to prevent or
reduce exposure to chemicals
