  2. Clean as you go! • Washing dishes as you go will keep dirty equipment from accumulating and will make clean up easier. • It also helps with SAFETY AND SANITATION!

  3. Washing Dishes by Hand • Use hot, soapy water. • Use a clean dishtowel to dry. • Do not use a towel that has been used to dry hands or wipe up spills!

  4. Wash dishes in this order: (cleanest to dirtiest…) • Glasses • Flatware (fork, knife, etc.) • Plates • Bowls • Pots and Pans • Greasy Utensils

  5. Dirty Linens • Put dirty linens in the wash at the end of the day to: • Prevent cross-contamination • Prevent bacteria from growing in warm, moist linens.

  6. Using the Dishwasher • Wash asap when a meal is finished. • More sanitary due to high water temps. • Always fill dishwasher before running. • Only use DISHWASHING DETERGENT!!
