February 6, 2009, Newsletter Issue #148: Cleaning vs. Sanitizing

Tip of the Week

Knowing the difference between cleaning and sanitizing is a must in order to prepare your restaurant for health inspections. The basic idea is this: cleaning removes what you can see, and sanitizing removes what you can't. Cleaning dishes and equipment means washing off food particles, dirt, oils, and other visible materials. Sanitizing requires the use of specialized agents that attack and kill bacteria and germs. While detergents are readily available in any grocery store or drug store, you'll need to purchase sanitizers that are specific to your needs, such as dishwasher sanitizer and glassware sanitizing tablets, at restaurant supply stores.
