Introduction
It is generally accepted that unclean utensils do constitute potential
health hazards. Each service person must inspect all utensils before using
them to make sure they are clean.
Cleaning and sanitizing are resource-intensive procedures in any foodservice
operation. They require time, labor, chemicals and sanitizing procedures
resulting in optimal protection of employees and customers.
Principles of cleaning
Cleaning is a two-step task that occurs when a cleaning compound (or
agent) such as detergent is put in contact with a soiled surface. Pressure is
applied using a brush, cloth, scrub pad, or water spray for a long enough
period of time to penetrate the soil so it can be easily removed during the
second step of rinsing.
Principles of Sanitation
Immediately after cleaning, all food contact surfaces must be sanitized. Heat
and chemical sanitizing are the two methods for sanitizing surfaces
effectively.
Heat sanitizing. The objective of heat sanitizing is to expose the clean surface
to high heat for a long enough time to kill harmful organisms. Heat sanitizing
can be done manually or by a high temperature machine. The minimum
temperature range necessary to kill most harmful organisms is usually 162ºF
to 165ºF.
Chemical Sanitizing. A second method of effective sanitizing is through the
use of chemicals. One of the reasons for choosing this method over heat
sanitizing is the savings that are realized in energy usage, as lower water
temperatures are used with chemical sanitizers, eliminating the need for
booster heaters.
Chemical sanitizing is achieved in two ways:
immersing the clean object in a sanitizing solution of appropriate concentration
and for a specific length of time, usually one minute.
Rinsing, swabbing or spraying the object with the sanitizing solution.
