Question

Why is it important to clean and store equipment properly

Answer 1

WHAT TO CLEAN AND SANITIZE

     As a general rule it is necessary to clean and sanitize anything that has had direct contact with food. Examples of products that may have had direct interaction with food include crockery, glassware, cutlery, pots, and pans, serving utensils, cooking appliances, chopping boards, kitchen surfaces, and counters.

    Certain products not having direct contact with food need to be washed, but not generally sanitized. These objects can include chairs, tables, floors, windows , doors, and walls. Don't forget to clean hard to reach places like under cushions, around light fittings, blinds or drapes as well. Drains and toilets should be washed at least once a day.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEANING AND SANITIZING

Here are three main reasons why it is important to clean and sanitize:  

• Cleaning and sanitizing help avoid infestations of the pests.  
• Cleaning and sanitizing help keep the company consistent with the laws and regulations about food safety.  
• Cleaning and sanitizing helps protect clients and staff from health hazards, such as food poisoning and allergic reactions.
