Training Kitchen cleaning- 21 - 22 february

We started with our first day of our courses yesterday, me and Kieron Hill were put into our stations with 5 other groups where we had to clean the whole training kitchen to see how it is to deep clean. we started with the principle of  cleaning, which is, clean from top to bottom. we had to make sure all the kitchens were shiny and perfect for chef Errol and chef Edwards standards. Me and Keiron worked our behinds off, but there was no mess and no complaint after the chefs did inspection, which is a good sign.

we used many chemicals like. sanitizer- which we used after we cleaned a surface to remove and kill any bacteria left on the object, you can use it for your hands as well, its is very hygienic and it smells clean to.
oven/grill cleaner- which we used to clean off tough stains on our two plate stove, it takes off all grime, grease, oil and dirt off of a oven or grill. It is very strong so you have to use gloves and it stinks as well. you have to be careful with this stuff on your skin and eyes.
Multi purpose cleaner- this is used to clean different types of surfaces and it can be used for different types of dirt. it is strong, using gloves and goggles is recommended such as the oven cleaner, but it isn't as harsh as the oven cleaner.
Items used to clean- we used pot scours, steel wool, washcloths, gloves and we at least had old clothes so we don't dirty our new clothes, not that any of us listened ha ha

Safety precautions- you have to always take safety and health into consideration in a kitchen, all objects must be checked so that no malfunction can happen, you have to always wear safety gear like gloves, aprons, goggles and a mouth guard if required.
