Steps in Washing Dishes
1. Prepare. Wear rubber gloves if you have dry hands or other skin problem. If you
are wearing long sleeves, roll them up or put them under the gloves. Wear aprons
too.
2. Scrape all the large pieces of food on the dishes and place it in a compost bin
or garbage can.Stack the dishes in the proper order namely: glassware, silverware,
chinaware, and utensils. Stack them to the right of the sink so that work progresses from
right to left.
4. Fill the sink with water and add a considerable amount of detergent. The
hotter the water, the better it’s sanitizing and grease-cutting properties but use
tolerable heat (66oC (150oF) or above.) so not to scald yourself. Use rubber gloves.
5. Wash the lightest soiled items first. Start with glasses, cups, and flatware. Soap
each piece individually and rinse in hot water.
6. Wash plates, bowls, and serving dishes. Remember to scrape these items before
washing. Soap each piece gently and individually and rinse in hot water. Remember
to keep an eye when you should change the dish washing water.
7. Wash pots and pans last. Soak them first. Wash the pans thoroughly and don’t
forget to clean the bottoms. If anything was burnt or overcooked to pots or casserole
dishes, put a little extra soap and water in it and let it stand while you wash the
other dishes. Take note that any oil residue left will lead to burn food during the next
cooking session.
8. Lay your dishes out on a rack to air-dry or wipe them clean with a towel.
9. There should be no visible matter and no "greasy" feel. Run a hand over the
dish to ensure that they are thoroughly cleaned. If there are still some grease
remaining, consider rewashing the item.
10. Rinse out brush, sponge and allow to dry. Sterilize your equipment often using
boiling water with bleach. When a sponge or brush starts to smell unpleasant, throw
it away.
11. Wipe down the sink and your tools. Wipe down the sink, dish drainer, and
dishpan. Any rags, dish cloths, or sponges need to be left out to air dry, or thrown
into the washing machine. Remember to replace sponges and rags frequently.
Fundamental Cleaning Procedures
1. Scrape and Pre-rinse – soiled equipment surfaces are scraped and rinsed with
warm water to remove loose food soils.
2. Cleaning Cycle – the removal of residual food soils from equipment surfaces is
based on the manipulation of the four basic cleaning factors and the method of
cleaning. Typically, alkaline chemical solutions are used for the cleaning cycle.
3. Rinse – rinse all surfaces with cold to hot water, depending on the temperature of
the cleaning cycle, to thoroughly remove all remaining chemical solution and food
soil residues.
4. Acid Rinse – a mild acid rinse of the equipment neutralizes any alkaline residues
left and removes any mineral soil present.
5. Sanitize – all equipment surfaces are rinsed or flooded with a sanitizing agent.
Both time and chemical concentration are critical for optimum results.
Equipment Sanitation Procedures
1. Range
a. Remove all burnt sediments and wipe grease from top of range after each
use.
b. Scrape grease from curbs and openings hinges.
c. When cool, wash top of range
d. Run oiled cloth over top of range
e. Clean oven by removing grates, scraping off food deposits, washing and drying.
f. Keep burners clean. Gas burners can be soaked and scrubbed with stiff brush while
electric burners should be cleaned with a brush or with a damp
cloth.
g. Before replacing, rub with oil-damped cloth.
3. Slicers
a. Clean immediately after using, especially after slicing vegetables and nuts.
b. Remove all parts to clean
c. Dry and cover knives after cleaning with oil-damped cloth.
d. Wash carriage slides thoroughly.
e. Wipe outside with cloth.
f. Clean table and pedestal under slicers.
g. Replace guard after cleaning.
4. Refrigerator
1. Wipe up spilled foods immediately
2. Wash inside shelves and trays at least twice a week with baking soda.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly
4. Flush drains weekly
5. Sink and Drains
1. Keep outlet screened at all times
2. Flush daily with 1 gal. of solution, made up of strong solution soda (4oz.to
2 gal. of water)
3. Clean and replace greased tray regularly.
4. Use force pump if drain is slow
5. Replace washers immediately on leaking faucets.
Sanitizing is done using heat, radiation, or chemicals. Heat and chemicals are
commonly used as a method for sanitizing in a restaurant than radiation. The item
to be sanitized must first be washed properly before it can be properly sanitized.
Some chemical sanitizers, such as chlorine and iodine, react with food and soil and
so will be less effective on a surface that has not been properly cleaned.
Methods of Sanitizing
1. Thermal Sanitizing. It involves the use of
hot water or steam.
Three methods of using heat to sanitize surfaces:
a. steam
b. hot water
c. hot air
2.Chemicals. Approved chemicals sanitizers are chlorine, iodine, and quaternary
ammonium. Different factors influence the effectiveness of chemical sanitizers.
a. Concentration. The presence of too little sanitizer will result in an
inadequate reduction of harmful microorganisms. Too much can be toxic.
b. Temperature. Generally, chemical sanitizers work best in water that is
between 55F (13C) and 120F (49C).
c. Contact time. For the sanitizer to kill harmful microorganisms, the cleaned item
must be in contact with the sanitizer (either heat or approvedchemical) for the
recommended length of time.
Characteristics of ideal chemical sanitizer
1. Approved for food contact surface application
2. Have a wide range or scope of activity
3. Destroy microorganisms rapidly
4. Be stable under all types of conditions
5. Tolerate a broad range of environmental conditions
6. Readily solubilized and possess some detergency
7. Low in toxicity and corrosivity
8. Inexpensive12

How to Keep Your Kitchen Clean and Safe?
Here are ways to ensure the cleanliness of your kitchen and keep bacteria at bay.
1. Remove unnecessary clutter from surfaces. Discard appliances and gadgets that you do not
use any more, as unused appliances would only tend to gather dust.
2. Keep your refrigerator clean and tidy. Before you do your weekly shopping, remove old and
rotten food and clean shelves and racks. Look at expiration dates and be sure to label any
containers of homemade food or leftovers. Don't make a habit of keeping food for too long in
the fridge; rotten food will breed bacteria and may even contaminate fresh food that is kept in
the same area.
3. Use a rubbish bin with a lid to keep odors out that attracts flies and other insects. Empty it
as soon as it smells, even if it is not yet full. You should ideally do this every day.
4. Wash and disinfect your rubbish bin once a week. This will ensure that any germs which
might have remained even after you emptied out the rubbish will die and cannot multiply.
Also, this will remove any foul smells which might be emanating from the trash bin.
5. Use separate chopping boards for different kinds of food. Keep separate chopping boards
for your meat and your vegetables to reduce the spread of bacteria. Clean the meat chopping
board extra carefully, especially after cutting chicken, as raw food has a higher tendency of
containing bacteria.
6. Change the dishcloth you wipe surfaces with every day. Use a different cloth for surfaces
than for dishes. Wash the cloth with hot water and, as appropriate, bleach. Use separate
towels for hands and dishes, and change both of those regularly, too.
7. Use a paper towel for any mess that is particularly likely to cause contamination, such as
raw meat or eggs, and anything that has fallen on the floor. It is better to use cleaning material
that you can easily throw out after and prevent from contaminating other food, instead of
using towels or sponges which you would still be likely to use again afterwards.
8. Keep kitchen floors free from debris and grease by sweeping and washing regularly. If
something has spilled, make sure to mop it right away instead of letting the mess stay there.
Aside from making sure that germs do not use the spillage as a breeding ground, immediate
mopping would also prevent unwanted accidents such as slipping from occurring.
9. Don't leave dirty crockery and pans to fester where they can attract harmful
bacteria. Wash dishes with hot water and soap as soon as you are done using them.
10. Wash surfaces that get touched. Periodically wipe doorknobs, handles, buttons and
controls, and light switches in and around your kitchen with cleaning agents.
11. Wash your hands before handling food and again if you sneeze or cough, blow
your nose, go to the bathroom, or touch high-use surfaces.
Safety measures
The following are safety measures that you should do when using cleaning agents:
1. Ensure adequate ventilation.
2. Have knowledge of basic first aid.
3. Wear cotton clothing to cover your limbs and other parts of your body that might
be exposed to the cleaning agent.
4. Wear suitable footwear–it should be closed in and have a steel toe.
5. Wear industrial strength, thick plastic, or rubber gloves.
6. Wear protective eye and face wear.
Can you think of any more safety measures? Storage and security of chemicals
The following are recommendations for the storage and security of chemicals and
cleaning agents:
1. Keep them in a separate area, away from food and other products.
2. Keep on lower shelves to prevent accidents and to keep chemicals from falling into
food products.
3. Store in a cool, well-lit, and well-ventilated room.
4. Do not store near heat.
5. Do not keep punctured aerosol cans.
6. Store chemicals with lids tightly on.
7. Make sure chemicals and other cleaning agents are clearly labelled, specifying
their content and use. 8. Ensure that the use by date or manufactured date is clearly
readable.
9. Storage containers should be free of corrosion and moisture.
10. The storage area should be kept secure and locked when not in use.
11. Always store chemicals in designated container.
12. Do not mix chemicals.
