What I need to know

Introduction

Kitchen is one of the areas at home that may contain germs, bacteria
and viruses. Experts say that proper cleaning and sanitizing of kitchen
premises can prevent the spread of virus and other
microorganisms. Studies reveal that people may also acquire coronavirus
after touching contaminated surfaces and objects. There are specific areas
in the kitchen that we need to clean and sanitize properly to avoid
coronavirus.
Cleaning and sanitizing our kitchen premises properly also prevent
us from acquiring diseases from spreading in our kitchen premises. These
may also reduce health hazards such as food poisoning and food
contamination among family members

Can you still recall the process of cleaning and sanitizing tools and
equipment that you learned from your previous lessons? This time you will
clean and sanitize your own kitchen.

STEPS IN CLEANING KITCHEN AREAS

1. Clear and empty the counters. Wipe the

counters with sponge and warm soapy
water. Use non-abrasive dish soap. Avoid
acidic natural cleaners like vinegar and
lemon juice, these can damage the
surface. Remove the soap using damp
cloth or towel.

After cleaning, put the items in its

respective container.

2. Prepare a basin filled with hot water and

proper amount of dishwashing soap.
Follow the 5 steps in dishwashing:
scrape, wash, rinse, sanitize and air dry.
Drain the sink and rinse with hot water.
Wipe down the faucet and the handles.

Use a sponge to remove soap deposits,

food stains, rust, water spots to clean
faucets and handles.

For porcelain sink, use mild liquid

detergent, vinegar or baking soda.

Do not use bleach on colored porcelain

For stained sink, use ½ cup of powdered

borax and squeezed lemon juice from
half of the fruit
Use vinegar on lime deposits. Soak paper
towel on vinegar and wrap the towel
around the lime deposits area. Wait for

12
 10 minutes, then wipe with dry paper
towel.

3. Remove expired food items in the

refrigerator. Clean the refrigerator from
top to bottom. Wipe the shelves with soft
towel and a non-toxic /corrosive all-
purpose cleaner. Use the Homemade
All-Purpose Cleaner that you learned
previously.

Diluted bleach or vinegar may also be

used in cleaning the inner part of
refrigerator, but do not mix the two
acids. Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when using bleach.
Use regular sponges.

Clean the outer part by using a

microfiber cloth or soft cloth. Clean also
the top of refrigerator using cloth.

4. Dust the upper part of the kitchen,

upper corners, light fixtures, top of
cabinets and refrigerator. Remove the
dirt and the things that need to be
discarded to the floor, then sweep them
up later. Clean the upper cabinets, then
the lower cabinets and walls.

Use damp cloth to clean wooden

cabinets. Too much liquid will damage
the wood. Use microfiber cloth to wipe
the wood.

For glass cabinets

Use glass cleaner and polishing cloth.
Refer to the homemade glass cleaner that
you learned from your previous lesson.

14
 5. Apply or spray the stovetop with all –
purpose cleaner, and let it sit for a few
minutes. Remove the stains with the
aid of the all-purpose cleaner, then
wipe with a clean dry cloth.
6. Sweep the floor starting with the
baseboards under the cabinets, where
dirt hides.
Never dig the mop in the sink. Dump
the dirty water outside.

7. Empty the trash. Before replacing the

bag, wipe the inside of the bin and the
interior of the top with clean wipes.

Let’s talk about this

Germs, bacteria and virus can spread in the kitchen.

Most members of the family use kitchen surfaces not only for
food preparation but also to place for possibly contaminated
items such as grocery bags, food and other household objects.
Studies show that coronavirus can survive on surfaces for a
few hours up to several days depending on different conditions
(type of surface, temperature and humidity of environment).
So, it’s very important to wash hands, clean and sanitize
kitchen surfaces before and after food preparation.

There are different kinds of kitchen surfaces or worktops in

the kitchen. The commonly used kitchen surfaces are granite,
quartz, ceramic, glass, laminate, stainless steel and wood. It is
important that you know the materials of your kitchen surfaces so
you will not damage the surface, when you apply cleaning agents
during the cleaning and sanitizing process.

There is also a need to identify the material of kitchen surface for

you to use appropriate cleaning agents with caution. Avoid bleach
for colored kitchen surfaces. This means that you need to check
first the manufacturer’s instructions of any cleaner to avoid
discoloration or damage of kitchen surfaces.
