How to Handle Dishes Correctly

One often overlooked aspect of cleanliness is how dishes are handled. Proper dishwashing and sanitation practices are crucial to prevent the spread of germs and illnesses among both children and staff. Here are some essential tips:

Separate Areas

Designate separate areas for dirty and clean dishes. Dirty should never mix with clean ones to prevent cross contamination.

Rinse immediately

Rinsing dishes immediately after use. This prevents food from drying and sticking, making it easier to clean later.

Use Safe Dishwashing Detergent

Invest in high-quality, child-safe dishwashing detergents that effectively remove food residue and bacteria without leaving any nasties behind.

Employ Proper Dishwashing Techniques

Teach your staff the importance of proper dishwashing techniques, including scrubbing, rinsing, and sanitising. If a commercial dishwasher is used, everyone should be aware of how to operate it in a safe and correct way.

Sanitise Regularly

Use child-friendly sanitizer or disinfectant to sanitize dishes, utensils, and eating surfaces. Ensure that all items are thoroughly sanitized to prevent the soread of illnesses.

Air Dry and Store Properly

Allow dishes to air dry in a clean, designated area. Store them in clean, dry, and covered containers or cabinets to prevent dust and contaminants from settling.

Inspect regularly

Regularly inspect dishes for signs of wear and tear. Replace damaged items promptly to avoid potential hazards.

Educate Caregivers and Children

Train your staff and educate children on proper dishwashing and handling practices. Encourage everyone to wash their hands before and after meals to minimize the risk of contamination

By following the guidelines, you can ensure that the dishes in your childcare centre are cleaned, sanitized, and stored properly, providing a safe and healthy environment for the children in your care.
