ACTION
- There is accumulated dust on the upper walls, ceiling tiles and on the window screens. Clean these areas, and ensure they are being done a regular basis to prevent accumulation. Suggest using a kitchen degreaser to remove the dust and oil on these surfaces.
- Obtain Quat test strips in order to test the strength of the Quats sanitizer on a daily basis, to ensure it is the correct strength.
- Develop a cleaning schedule for all equipment and surfaces, so staff understand what is needed to be done if the kitchen manager is absent. This is a proactive approach to preventing the accumulation of dust and debris as well. |
