Cleaning and sanitizing are important procedures for any food safety program. Proper cleaning removes food, soil and other substances using the appropriate cleaning agent. Sanitizing reduces harmful microorganisms and is most effective when surfaces have first been properly cleaned. There are various types of cleaners and methods for sanitizing, including heat, chemicals, and ensuring correct concentrations, temperatures and contact times are followed. Improperly cleaned and sanitized surfaces can allow for transfer of microorganisms between foods.

Direction. Identify the following statements.

____1. This is a type of serving spoon that is widely used for


soup, stew or other liquid foods.
____2. Used primarily to measure the volume of liquid or
powder-form cooking ingredients.
____3. It is used to blend ingredients smoothly.
____4. This is used for mashing cooked potatoes.
____5. It is used to scrape vegetables and peel fruits.
Cleaning and sanitizing procedures must be part
of the standard operating procedures that make
up your food safety program. Improperly cleaned
and sanitized surfaces allow harmful
microorganisms to be transferred from one food
to other foods.
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.
The importance of proper cleaning can
be appreciated when you realize that
contaminated equipment is another
major cause of foodborne disease
outbreaks.
 1. Abrasive cleaners- these cleaners are used to remove heavy
accumulations of soil that are difficult to remove with
detergents.
 2. Acid cleaners -- Use periodically on mineral deposits and
other soils that detergents cannot remove. These cleaners are
often used to remove scale in ware washing machines and
steam tables.
 3. Soaps and Detergents- these cleaning agents help water to
emulsify fats and to suspend solid soil particles. They can
penetrate soil quickly and soften it.
 4. Solvent cleaners - Use periodically on surfaces where grease
has burned on. Solvent cleaners are often called degreasers.
 The cleaning process needs to provide flexibility to achieve
acceptable result for a wide range of different cleaning
applications to maximize the effectiveness pf cleaning.
 1. Cleaning- to remove all the organic materials.
 2. Washing- it is the most time consuming of the entire process.
 3. Rinsing- this is also important to remove most of the
suspended soil and bacteria.
 4. Sanitizing- this is critical step in cleaning process that
requires knowledge in science. Sanitization will occur when
certain specific chemical concentrations, temperature and time
requirements and water condition are satisfied.
Sanitizing is done using heat, radiation, or
chemicals. Heat and chemicals are commonly
used as a method for sanitizing in a restaurant;
radiation rarely is. The item to be sanitized must
first be washed properly before it can be properly
sanitized. Some chemical sanitizers, such as
chlorine and iodine, react with food and soil and
so will be less effective on a surface that has not
been properly cleaned.
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
 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 will result in an
inadequate reduction of harmful microorganisms. Too much can be
toxic.
• Temperature -- Generally chemical sanitizers work best in water that is
between 55oF(13oC) and 120oF (49oC).
• 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.
