Amasht Hygiene E-news | May 2011 Maintaining High Levels of Cleanliness in the Food Services Hotels and catering operations are most often judged on their cleanliness. To maintain a high standard of the same, policies to be followed is that ′Consistency is everything′. Amongst the different practices needed to attain a good reputation amongst customers, the first is the creation of a policy manual that sets standards and routines of cleanliness procedures. Next, prevention is a big part of the process and includes a well laid out kitchen. Especially in terms of pest control along with ensuring regular and reliable garbage disposal. When designing your kitchen and work areas ensure that cupboards do not go all the way to the ground. Pests can also work their way into your building via open delivery and other open doors. If pests do manage to wander in, a live−trap can take care of the problem. Along with these precautions standing water should be drained as pests enjoy humidity and moisture. Also make sure that drains and pipes themselves are not plugged with debris.   Other areas in a restaurant, including a banquet hall, wedding reception area, cafe or hotel, also require due diligence. Or else even the most insignificant spots, such as soda dispensers can attract fruit−flies and thus cause discomfort to the customers. If these basic procedures are followed along with increased attention to detail, your food service or hospitality business will both create and maintain a high standard of cleanliness, and will both attract new customers and maintain the present customer base.

If they were laid end to end, they would stretch 2400km (1500 miles). Human bone is as strong as granite in supporting weight.
