We’ve all been to cafes and restaurants and noticed the green certificate on display in the window or door which shows the establishments’ cleanliness rating. This will be between 0 and 5. The certificate is awarded by the Food Standards Agency. The premises will be visited on a regular basis by the council, who will check business procedures are in place to protect you as a consumer.
Procedures which take place daily are rotation of food, ensuring use by dates are adhered to, and the cleaning processes which take place. This involves:
- Cleaning working tops at the end of every shift
- Sweeping and cleaning floors daily
- Deep cleaning all walls, floors and ceilings, this can be achieved by the use of appropriate chemicals or steam cleaning. Any equipment which isn’t fixed into place must be moved to clean around, behind and underneath.
- Extractor hoods need to be stripped back and grease removed, fryers must emptied and scrubbed clean, while fridges must have all the shelving removed and cleaned.
If you own or run a small independent business, you are probably reading this and thinking: when am I going to get the time to do this amount of cleaning when I have a business to run? Or you may have discussed this with your chef, who has said they don’t have the time to carry out deep cleaning. If you manage a youth centre or church hall, there’s no one responsible for this ‘chore’.
