Cleaning Schedule

About this document

What it’s for

A written cleaning procedure and schedule that tells staff what to clean, when, how and with what – including the two-stage method and the disinfectant standards inspectors check for – with a chemical register and weekly sign-off sheets.

When to use it

  • In any commercial kitchen, café, bar, takeaway or food production area
  • When training new staff in cleaning
  • To support your food safety management plan and COSHH assessments

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  2. Responsibilities
  3. Chemicals and disinfectant standards
  4. Two-stage cleaning method
  5. Cloths, equipment and colour coding

How to complete it

  • List your actual chemicals in the chemical register (Part 2) using the product labels
  • Edit the schedule tables to match your equipment and areas
  • Display the schedule in the kitchen and print a new sign-off sheet each week
  • The manager checks and signs the records every week

Key points to check

  • Disinfectant labels must state BS EN 1276 or BS EN 13697
  • Use the contact time on the label – usually longer than a quick wipe
