FACTORS THAT

INFLUENCE THE
CLEANING PROCESS
 1. SOIL
Varying degrees of food soil will
be deposited on the equipment
during production. These food
soils will require complete
removal during the cleaning
process and will affect the
cleaning compound used, along
 2. TIME
the longer a cleaning
solution remains in
contact with the
equipment surface, the
greater the amount of
 3. TEMPERATURE
In the presence of a
cleaning solution
most soils become
more readily soluble
as the temperature
 4. CHEMICAL
CONCENTRATIONS
it varies depending on the
chemical itself, type of food
soil, and the equipment to be
cleaned. Concentration will
normally be reduced as time
and temperature are
increased.
 5. MECHANICAL
FORCE
Is as simple as hand
scrubbing with a brush
This aids in soil removal
and typically reduces time,
temperature and
concentration
 6. WATER

Water used for cleaning and

sanitizing must be potable
and pathogen free.
