Look after your linens.
Damp linens are ideal breeding grounds for bacteria and should be laundered daily – that means bar towels, cleaning cloths and uniforms as previously mentioned.
– Use separate cloths for cleaning dishes, glasses and surfaces. Avoid sponges, which trap bacteria and can’t be properly washed.
– Use separate towels for drying hands and for drying anything else. Only ever use clean, dry towels.
– Once you’ve used a cleaning cloth or towel, put it into the laundry pile to be washed – don’t rinse and reuse it!
– Tip: If you’re worried about towels or clothes getting mixed up, designate different colours or styles for each task.
