Introduction
Kitchens can quickly become the perfect breeding
ground for bacteria and germs, particularly when you
are cooking for a large family or commercial operation.
You can avoid this by careful cleaning of your wooden,
metal, stone and plastic kitchen equipment and
surfaces right after cooking, and by removing harmful
microorganisms through periodic sanitization.
Proper cleaning and sanitizing of kitchen tools and
equipment can help ensure the maintenance of a clean,
safe kitchen.
This cleaning and sanitation in the kitchen could not
be possible if we don’t know what are those kitchen
cleaning tools and equipment to be used, what are their
classifications and how to use and care them.

Safety Measures in Doing Household Tasks
Housekeeping is not just cleanliness. It includes keeping work areas neat and orderly;
maintaining halls and floors free of slip and trip hazards; and removing of waste materials
(e.g., paper, cardboard) and other fire hazards from work areas.
SAFE USE
Risks can vary greatly. What important is, whoever has to use any tool or piece of equipment as part of
their job does so with care. To ensure safe use, employers must orient workers and provide suitable
information. They must also check that workers have the appropriate qualifications to use intricate tools
and equipment. In addition, as part of their health and safety strategy employers should offer orientation
and training. This isn’t necessary for basic items, but when certain tools and equipment change,
orientation and orientation improve skills and reminds users of safety procedures.
