Lesson 1. Types of Chemicals for Cleaning and Sanitizing Kitchen Tools, Equipment, and
Paraphernalia
Cleaning and sanitizing kitchen tools and equipment must be part of the standard
operating procedures that make up your food safety program. Improper cleaning and sanitizing
kitchen surfaces allow harmful microorganisms to be transferred from one food to another.
The stove, sink and cabinets should be cleaned and sanitized regularly. The garbage
can should be kept covered, cleaned and emptied often. Warm water will facilitate removing of
grease. The use of vinegar added to water is very good disinfectant and stain/grease remover.
Cleaning is the process of removing food particles and other types of dirt from objects
such as plates, glass, cutting board, etc. That doesn't mean that there is any sanitizing going on.
People use different products for cleaning, depending on what they have to clean. It includes
abrasive cleaners, detergents, acidic cleaners, and solvents. The right cleaning agent must be
chosen because not all chemicals can be used on food-contact surfaces. It might leave an unsafe
residue on the food contact surface. The label should indicate if the product can be used on a
food-contact surface.
Definition of Terms
Cleaning agents are substances like liquid, powders, paste, sprays or granules that can be used
in removing dirt, stains, bad smells and clutter on surfaces.
Sanitize is to reduce the growth of fungi, viruses, and other harmful bacteria significantly.
Food contact surface is the surface of equipment or utensil that food normally comes into
contact.
