1.

) Wear rubber gloves if


you have dry hands or
other skin problem. If
you are wearing long
sleeves, roll them up or
put them under the
gloves. Wear aprons too.
2.) Scrape all the
large pieces of food
on the dishes and
place it in a compost
bin or garbage can.
3.) Stack the dishes in the
proper order namely:
glassware, silverware,
chinaware, and utensils.
Stack them to the right of
the sink so that work
progresses from right to
left.
4.) Fill the sink with water and add a considerable
amount of detergent. The hotter the water, the better
it’s sanitizing and grease-cutting properties but use
tolerable heat (66oC (150oF) or above.) so not to scald
yourself. Use rubber gloves.
5.) Wash the
lightest soiled items
first. Start with
glasses, cups, and
flatware. Soap each
piece individually
and rinse in hot
water.
6.) Wash plates, bowls, and serving dishes.
Remember to scrape these items before
washing. Soap each piece gently and
individually and rinse in hot water.
Remember to keep an eye when you should
change the dish washing water.
7.) Wash pots and pans last. Soak
them first. Wash the pans
thoroughly and don’t forget to
clean the bottoms. If anything was
burnt or overcooked to pots or
casserole dishes, put a little extra
soap and water in it and let it stand
while you wash the other dishes.
Take note that any oil residue left
will lead to burn food during the
next cooking session.
8.) Lay your dishes
out on a rack to air-
dry or wipe them
clean with a towel.
9.) There should be no
visible matter and no
"greasy" feel. Run a hand
over the dish to ensure that
they are thoroughly
cleaned. If there are still
some grease remaining,
consider rewashing the
item.
10.) Rinse out brush, sponge and allow to dry. Sterilize your
equipment often using boiling water with bleach. When a
sponge or brush starts to smell unpleasant, throw it away.
11.) Wipe down the sink and
your tools. Wipe down the
sink, dish drainer, and
dishpan. Any rags, dish cloths,
or sponges need to be left out
to air dry, or thrown into the
washing machine. Remember
to replace sponges and rags
frequently.
