What You'll Learn

Clean vs. Sanitized vs. Disinfected

The actual definitions, why mixing them up creates real food safety risk, and where each one is required in a food service operation

The Three-Compartment Sink

Wash, rinse, sanitize — water temperature, chemical concentration, contact time, and the order that has to be right or the whole thing fails

Chemical Sanitizers and Test Strips

Chlorine, quat, iodine — the concentration ranges that work, the ones that don't, and how to verify with test strips before the inspector does

Surface and Equipment Schedules

What gets cleaned during service, what gets cleaned at close, what gets deep-cleaned weekly — the schedule that holds up

Common Mistakes That Fail Inspections

Reusing wiping cloths, wrong sanitizer ratios, skipping the rinse step, drying with cloths instead of air — the everyday shortcuts that cost points
