Cleaning Schedule

Ultimately, the cleanliness of your kitchen is more important than having a documented cleaning schedule. But, there are a few good reasons to have a cleaning schedule - 

• The cleaning schedule facilitates the hygiene of your kitchen, serving as a reminder and ensuring tasks are completed regularly.
• It can be used as a legal defence if things go wrong - assuming it's been completed correctly.
• It can give an EHO confidence that the cleanliness they can see is representative of how your business normally is. You haven't just cleaned because you're expecting a visit - it's always like this!

CCFS Food Hygiene Diaries contain cleaning schedules with equipment listed that is often found in the business type. However, there's always room to add more, because individual businesses may differ and there is sometimes the need for some unplanned cleaning.
