TYPES AND USES OF CLEANING AGENTS

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

and other types of soil from a surface, such as a dish,
glass, or cutting board. Cleaning is done with a cleaning
agent that removes food, soil, or other substances. The
right cleaning agent must be selected because not all
cleaning agents can be used on food-contact surfaces. (A
food-contact surface is the surface of equipment or utensil
that food normally comes into contact.) For example, glass
cleaners, some metal cleaners, and most bathroom
cleaners cannot be used because they 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. The right cleaning agent must also be Source:

in removing dirt, stains, bad smells and clutter on surfaces.

surfaces, and equipment. Detergents can
penetrate soil quickly and soften it. Examples
include dishwashing paste, dishwashing

degreasers. These are alkaline-based
cleaning agent include a grease-dissolving

or if there is prolonged contact with the https://www.legendbrandscleaning.com/Products/Solvent-Cleaner
solvent.

Acid cleaners - Use periodically on mineral

deposits and other soils that alkaline-based
cleaning agent cannot remove. These are
harmful to environment, people and pets.
These cleaners are often used to remove
scale in ware washing machines and steam
tables. Source:

Abrasive cleaners - Use these cleaners to

remove stain or heavy accumulations of soil
that are difficult to remove with detergents.
Some abrasive cleaners also disinfect. Clean
food-contact surfaces that are used to
prepare potentially hazardous foods as
needed throughout the day but no less than
every four hours. If they are not properly
cleaned, food that comes into contact with
