Even before the COVID-19 pandemic heightened awareness of hygiene, cleanliness has always been a top concern for diners. Negative reviews regarding a restaurant's sanitation practices can deter potential customers. Moreover, compliance with food safety regulations like the Food Act 2014 and HSWA 2015 is essential to avoid penalties and maintain business operations.
Ensuring top-notch cleanliness in your restaurant, bar, or cafe is paramount. While partnering with a reputable commercial cleaning company can help maintain cleanliness, having essential cleaning equipment is equally vital. Here's a list of must-have items:
Hand Sanitizers:
Hand sanitizers, though not traditional cleaning tools, are indispensable in today's context. Placing them strategically throughout your establishment, including at entrances and near cash registers, enhances customer confidence in your hygiene practices.
Gloves:
Protecting hands from harsh cleaning chemicals is essential. Opt for durable PVC gloves with non-slip grips for added safety.
High-Quality Cleaning Cloths:
Microfiber cloths are versatile for various cleaning tasks, offering efficiency and reusability. Stock up on these and ensure proper washing to prolong their lifespan.
Cleaning Wipes:
Ideal for quick disinfection, especially on high-touch surfaces, cleaning wipes are convenient additions to your cleaning arsenal. Dispose of them properly to prevent environmental hazards.
Broom and Dustpan:
A reliable broom with suitable bristles for different floor types, paired with a dustpan for efficient debris collection, is indispensable for daily maintenance.
Good Mop:
For wet spills and thorough floor cleaning, invest in a quality microfiber mop. Proper technique, including overlapping strokes and rinse phases, ensures optimal results.
By equipping your establishment with these essential cleaning tools and using appropriate detergents, you can uphold cleanliness standards, comply with regulations, and attract more customers to your restaurant.
