Activity Title: PERFORM BASIC PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE
MAINTENANCE

I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT:

This learning activity will help you develop your understanding on how to perform
basic preventive and corrective maintenance which include cleaning and sanitizing of tools,
equipment and the workplace following standard.

How can tools and equipment be kept safe, clean, and functional?
There are several methods of cleaning and sterilization. Do a deep-clean monthly to keep
tools safe and useful all the time.

1. Sterilize metal implements after each use

in a hospital-grade disinfectant that is
bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal. This
disinfectant can be found in beauty supply
stores. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant
for 10 minutes.

2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a

bleach solution. Make a 1-to-10 solution by
mixing one part bleach with 10 parts water.
Using gloves, rinse the basin with the
solution to disinfect. If necessary, scrub with
a detergent to remove any dirt or debris.
3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once
a month to disinfect all metal implements.
Designate one pot for sterilization to prevent
cross-contamination with food. Submerge
the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Drain the tools and allow them to dry.

airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep them from
being exposed to dirt and bacteria. Be sure

tools again before use.

identify defective ones for repair,
replacement or condemnation.
