Cleaning
Process of removing food and other types of dirt from a surface, such as a countertop or plate.
Detergents
Cleaner designed to penetrate and soften dirt to help remove it from a surface.
Degreasers
Alkaline detergents, often called degreasers, that contain a grease-dissolving agent.
Delimers
used on mineral deposits and other soils that alkaline cleaners cannot remove, such as scale, rust and tarnish
Abrasive Cleaners
cleaners containing a scouring agent used to scrub off hard to remove soils
Heat Sanitizing
using heat to reduce the number of microorganisms on a clean surface to safe levels. One common way is with hot water(171degrees)
chemical sanitizer
using a chemical solution to reduce microorganisms
Concentration
The amount of sanitizer to water measured in parts per million (ppm). The concentration of sanitizer affects the effectiveness of the sanitizer solution.
Water Hardness
Water is important to the food processing industry because it is present in all foods. … Most individuals have firsthand experience with “hard water” (water with >120 ppm of hardness) that reduces foaming of soaps and rinsing effectiveness.
High-Temperature Machines
High temp machines wash dishware at 150 to 160 degrees and rinse it at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, sanitizing through sheer water heat. Because of the intense heat, high temperature commercial dishwashers also require a condensate hood for operation.
Nonfood-contact Surfaces
Non food contact surfaces include surfaces throughout the food preparation area that do not come in contact with exposed food. Those surfaces must be designed, constructed, and maintained to be smooth, non absorbent, and easily cleanable.
Five steps to cleaning & sanitizing
Step 1 – Preparation. Remove loose dirt and food particles. …
Step 2 – Cleaning. Wash with hot water (60 °C) and detergent. …
Step 3 – Sanitising (bacteria killing stage) Treat with very hot, clean, potable water (75 °C) for at least 2 minutes. …
Step 4 – Air drying.
When to Clean and Sanitize
Clean and sanitize a food contact surface after working with raw meat, when switching from one food to another, when switching tasks, after taking a break, and after four hours of constant use.
