Cleaning A Lunchroom
Commercial lunchrooms are important areas to focus on when cleaning as that is where your company’s team eats and takes breaks. They are high traffic areas and can harbour more bacteria than washrooms. As a result, there are several steps to take when cleaning and sanitizing lunchrooms.
The process for cleaning and sanitizing a lunchroom could look like this:
All proper PPE is worn before entering lunchroom.
First, all tables, chairs and matting are moved to sweep and/or vacuum to remove dust and debris.
Next, all garbage and recycling is removed and containers are sprayed down with disinfectant and left for required time as recommended by manufacturer.
Counters, cupboards, appliances and high traffic touch points are then all wiped down with disinfectant cleaner.
All horizontal surfaces are then dusted or wiped down.
Next, all tables are wiped down with disinfectant and rinsed with clean water.
Sinks are then cleaned and disinfected.
Tables and matting are returned to their spots and chairs are wiped down and returned to positions at tables.
Floor is washed from far corner to doorway and “Caution Wet Floor” signs are placed where needed to prevent slip and fall accidents.
It is important to note that cleaners often use different coloured pails when cleaning. They may have a cleaner in one, a sanitizer in another and clean water in another. Solutions for cleaning must be safe for food areas and are tested with a test strip to make sure dilutions are correct. Making sure that areas like table tops are cleaned, then rinsed and then sanitized will ensure that the surface is ready for people to safely eat on them.
Understanding that eating areas are different than other areas of a facility is what makes having a commercial cleaner so important. We at Wright Cleaning Services have been properly trained to be sure that each step in the process is followed.
