Study Notes

Cleaning and Sanitizing

  • Cleaning removes food and dirt from surfaces to maintain hygiene.
  • Factors affecting the cleaning process include dirt type, water hardness, temperature, surface type, agitation, and treatment duration.

Cleaners

  • Cleaners are chemicals that eliminate food, dirt, rust, stains, and other deposits.
  • Categories of cleaners include detergents, degreasers, delimers, and abrasive cleaners.

Specific Cleaners

  • Surfactants are agents that lower surface tension, enhancing cleaning efficacy.
  • Detergents are primarily used for removing fresh dirt from surfaces.
  • Degreasers contain agents that dissolve grease effectively.
  • Delimers target mineral deposits and residues that other cleaners cannot dissolve.
  • Abrasive cleaners include scouring agents for scrubbing tough dirt.

Sanitizing

  • Sanitizing reduces pathogens on surfaces to safe levels.
  • The heat sanitizing method involves soaking items in water at least 171°F for a minimum of 30 seconds.
  • Chemical sanitizing involves soaking items in a sanitizing solution or applying it through rinsing, swabbing, or spraying.

Types of Sanitizers

  • Common sanitizers include chlorine, iodine, and quaternary ammonium compounds.
  • Factors influencing sanitizer effectiveness comprise concentration, temperature, contact time, water hardness, and pH.
  • Concentration refers to the ratio of sanitizer to water, measured in parts per million (ppm).

Cleaning Procedures

  • Water hardness refers to the mineral content in water, affecting cleaning efficiency.
  • The cleaning and sanitizing process involves five steps: scrape/remove food, wash, rinse, sanitize, and allow air-drying.
  • Food-contact surfaces require cleaning and sanitizing under specific conditions, such as after use, before switching food types, or after 4 hours of continuous use.

Equipment Cleaning

  • Cleaning stationary equipment involves unplugging, removing parts, scraping food, washing, rinsing, and air-drying surfaces.
  • Dishwashing methods include machine and manual approaches.

Dishwashing Guidelines

  • Effective dishwashing programs depend on layout, water supply, cleaning areas, pressure/temp indicators, and trained staff.
  • Final sanitizing rinse temperatures must reach at least 180°F (or 165°F for stationary racks).

Three-Compartment Sink Procedures

  • A three-compartment sink setup requires filling sinks with detergent/water, clean water, and sanitizer.
  • Using the three-compartment sink involves rinsing, washing, rinsing, sanitizing, and air-drying items.

Storage and Safety

  • Tableware and utensils must be stored at least 6 inches off the floor to avoid contamination.
  • Cleaning tool and supply storage should include good lighting, hooks for tools, a utility sink, and a floor drain.

Cleaning Tool Storage

  • Considerations for storing cleaning tools include air-drying towels, hanging tools, and cleaning buckets.
  • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) detail safe handling, hazards, precautions, protective equipment, first-aid info, manufacturer details, preparation date, and hazardous ingredients.

Cleaning Program Development

  • Key components for a cleaning program include identifying needs, creating a master schedule, selecting materials, and implementing actions.
  • A master cleaning schedule should specify what, who, and when items should be cleaned.
