ACTIVITY SHEET #3
Objectives:
1. Select various types of chemicals for cleaning and sanitizing kitchen tools, equipment, and paraphernalia.
2. Clean and sanitize kitchen tools and equipment following manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Use cleaning tools, equipment, and paraphernalia in accordance to standard operating procedures.
COVID19 is a very serious matter nowadays. This pandemic urges everyone to observe proper sanitation to
stop the spread of the virus. Proper hand washing therefore is one of the ways to keep oneself clean and keeps us from
being infected. If we do not wash our hands, we may transfer the virus by touching the kitchen tools and equipment
when we cook. Thus, it is also very necessary to clean and sanitize our kitchen tools and equipment and other
paraphernalia to keep us safe.

3. Acid cleaners are used in removing mineral deposits and other soils that
detergents cannot remove. These cleaners are often used to remove dirt and
stain in ware washing machines and steam tables.
4. Abrasive cleaners are used to remove heavy collected soil that is difficult
to remove with detergents. Some abrasive cleaners also disinfect.
Sanitizing is the process of removing harmful bacteria using heat and water, or chemicals, or a combination of both.
The term sanitary refers to the state of a food contact surface or utensil where it does not contain microorganisms at a
level that would permit the transmission of infectious disease or compromise food safety. Sanitizers are substances
capable of destroying microorganisms including those bacteria that cause food poisoning and other diseases.
Sanitizing Methods
1. Heat. There are three methods of using heat to sanitize surfaces – steam, hot water, and hot air. Hot water is
the most common method used in restaurants. If hot water is used in the third compartment of a three-compartment
sink, it must be at least 171°F (77°C). If a high-temperature ware washing machine is used to sanitize cleaned dishes,
the final sanitizing rinse must be at least 180°F (82°C). For stationary rack, single temperature machines, it must be at
least 165°F (74°C). Cleaned items must be exposed to these temperatures for at least 30 seconds.
2. Chemicals. Chemicals that are approved sanitizers are chlorine, iodine, and quaternary ammonium. Different
factors influence the effectiveness of chemical sanitizers. The three factors that must be considered are:
Concentration - The presence of too little sanitizer is not enough to reduce harmful microorganisms. Too
much can be dangerous.
Temperature - Generally chemical sanitizers work best in water that is between 55°F (13°C) and 120°F
(49°C).
Contact time - In order for the sanitizer to kill harmful microorganisms, the cleaned item must be in contact
with the sanitizer (either heat or approved chemical) for the recommended length of time.
Chemical Sanitizer Solutions
Chemical Concentration Contact Time
Chlorine 50ppm (parts per million) in water between 75-100 °F or 7 seconds
(1 tablespoon chlorine mixed with 4 gallons of water)
Activity 3. Identification
Directions: Identify each statement below whether the process is cleaning or sanitizing.
Directions B: Identify what is referred to in each statement. Choose your answer in the box below.
___________1. It refers to the surface that the food normally comes into contact.
___________2. It is a cleaning agent used to remove heavy accumulations of dirt that are difficult to remove with
detergents.
___________3. These are substances capable of destroying microorganisms including those bacteria that cause food
poisoning.
___________4. It is the most common sanitizing method used in restaurants.
___________5. It is a factor in the use of chemicals which means too little sanitizer will result in an inadequate
reduction of harmful microorganisms.

A. Three Sink Dishwashing Method
1. Scrape food from utensils and pots.
2. Wash in clean, hot, soapy water.
3. Rinse in clean water not lower than 43 degree Celsius (110 degree Fahrenheit).
4. Sanitize in clean hot water at least 77 degree Celsius (170 degree Fahrenheit for 45 seconds.
5. Air Dry on a corrosion resistant draining rack.
Note: For sanitizing procedure, follow the recommended chemical solution of using chlorine, quaternary ammonium
and iodine.
B. Cleaning Dishes and Kitchen Utensils by Hand
1. Remove any leftover food from your plates into the trash or
garbage disposal. Tip: Don”t pour any grease down your drain since it
could solidify and clog your pipes.
2. Fill your sink halfway with hot water and pour 1 tbsp. (15 ml) of
dish soap.
5. Rinse off the soap with clean hot water. After you wash a dish, rinse
it underneath the hottest water you can handle until the suds are gone.
6. Let the dishes dry in a rack or on a clean towel. Set the dishes inside
of a drying rack on your counter. If you don’t have a drying rack, set the
dishes upside-down on a clean towel so they have a chance to dry.
3. Load plates and cookware on the bottom rack. Keep large flat pans
on the sides or the back of the bottom rack so it doesn’t block the
detergent compartment. Stand your plates on end so the dirty side faces
the water sprayer.
Note:
Set your dishwasher in normal cycle if you are doing a regular wash.
Set your dishwasher in delicate cycle if your dishes are lightly soiled or if you have glassware in your
dishwasher.
Set your dishwasher in heavy duty cycle if you’re cleaning pots and pans.
