The Power of Cleanliness: Beyond Hygiene
Cleanliness goes far beyond mere hygiene—it's a powerful driver of customer satisfaction, food safety, and business reputation. By prioritizing cleanliness, you not only meet industry standards but exceed them, setting your business apart in a competitive landscape.
Overcoming Cleanliness Hurdles:
In the pursuit of cleanliness excellence, food service operators encounter various challenges. From effectively removing germs, dirt, and impurities to ensuring surfaces are pristine before sanitization, each step demands meticulous attention to detail.
Cleaning: Removes germs (not kill), dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects
Remove soil:
• Wiping increases overall soil removal1- friction & absorbency
• Surfaces must be clean before sanitising2
• Detergent residues will neutralize many sanitisers2
Remove accumulated moisture:
• Water left on surfaces creates the potential for bacteria growth
• Wet surfaces could reduce efficacy of sanitiser
• Dry wipes absorb good amount of water
Keep soil from re-depositing:
• Wiping generates the least dispersion of droplets1
• Reduce the risk of allergen3 reduce cross contact
Sanitising: Lowers the number of germs/ microorganisms on surfaces or objects to a safe level
• It is not the same as disinfecting
• It removes pathogens to a safe level after cleaning and food products may be placed on the surface immediately after the dwell time
• Experts recommend wiping surface after sanitation so that you remove residual chemicals along with ‘small corpses’.4
The Cleanliness Checklist
Maintaining cleanliness extends beyond visible surfaces to encompass often-overlooked areas such as restrooms, entryways, and dining spaces.
Exterior: Make a stellar first impression with a clean and inviting exterior, from spotless windows to well-maintained landscaping.
Entryway: Ensure a welcoming entryway free of dirt and clutter, setting the stage for a positive dining experience.
Dining room: Pay attention to every detail, from clean floors and tables to sparkling windows and well-lit surroundings.
Restrooms: Maintain immaculate restrooms with proper lighting, clean facilities, and fully stocked supplies.
