Kitchen Cleaning Checklist

0/6
  • Clean as you go, wiping surfaces between jobs, especially after raw meat, fish or eggs
  • Two steps on surfaces: wash away the dirt first, then sanitise to kill germs
  • Leave the sanitiser on for the time on the bottle, or it will not kill the germs
  • Wash boards, knives and utensils in hot soapy water after raw food
  • Wash or swap dish cloths and tea towels often, as dirty cloths spread germs
  • Wipe the things hands touch: handles, taps, bin lids and light switches

  • 8Sweep and mop floors, and clear spills straight away so no one slips

Good to know

A sanitiser only works if it sits for the full contact time on a surface that is already visibly clean. Look for BS EN 1276 or 13697 on the label.
