Kitchen Cleaning Checklist: What Is It?
A Kitchen Cleaning Checklist is formed to keep tight control over the cleanliness of a kitchen within a property or business, ensuring that the kitchens are in ideal condition. Cleanliness in kitchens is extremely important as this is the place where people make food and drinks. If your kitchen is dirty, not only would this be a hotspot for bacteria and other forms of microorganisms to reproduce but it could also attract some unwanted visitors such as mice or rats. All of these factors will lead to possible contamination of food which in turn can easily lead to food poisoning. Such cases can be extremely serious and the risks can be very high - particularly for a business.
For these reasons, it is very important to ensure that the kitchen is pristine all of the times with regular cleaning checks on a daily and weekly basis. You should make sure that you have a detailed Daily Kitchen Cleaning Checklist which will detail all jobs that need to be completed on a daily basis to ensure cleanliness. In addition, we would also suggest using a Weekly Kitchen Cleaning Checklist to ensure that tasks which do not require everyday attention are not left to be forgotten about.
Some tasks may appear to be rather obvious but we would still recommend describing each task separately in as much detail as possible. This way, no one can use the excuse that they simply forgot to carry out a task.

Kitchen Cleaning Checklist: How to Make?
When making a Kitchen Cleaning Checklist, whether it is a standard cleaning checklist of a Kitchen Deep Clean Checklist, we would recommend using a downloadable template which will contain the necessary structure which would just simply need to be edited to include:
- Come up with a title for the checklist;
- Determine all of the cleaning tasks that need to be done and break them down into smaller jobs based on area, linking them in a sequential order. By breaking down all of the cleaning responsibilities, you also make sure that no parts of the kitchen will be missed off the cleaning checklist. It will also give you the opportunity to keep track of what has been done;
- It is also very important that you write down as much detail as possible under each specific category . You should think carefully about any parts of the kitchen that may be ambiguous in terms of cleaning. What may seem rather obvious to one person, may same pointless to another individual;
- Once you have drafted all of the duties and broken them down by area to make working more comfortable, to the right of the outlined duties you could leave a box or space which needs to be signed off or ticked by the individual cleaning only after they have completed the task. This will allow management to control the work carried out, giving them the opportunity to track which jobs have been finished and which jobs are remaining.
