Whether it\u2019s in the cellar or on the bar, cleaning and maintenance are essential to pulling that perfect pint.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to serve a top-quality product and ensure your customers return again and again, you must understand the importance of hygiene, implement a cleaning and maintenance schedule, and ensure that employees carry out their responsibilities on time.<\/p>\n<p>This article will provide you with a cleaning template that you can use as part of your cleaning system to help maintain high standards in your premises.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Why Does My\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Cellar<\/strong><strong>\u00a0Need a\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Cleaning Schedule<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Beer is classified as a food product and is covered under the <strong>Food Safety Act 1990<\/strong>. Therefore, it\u2019s not only good practice for your business to maintain a proper cleaning and maintenance schedule \u2013 it\u2019s your legal responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if you ignore your cleaning responsibilities, you&#8217;ll also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Waste money.<\/strong> Poor hygiene will lose you money in two ways: you&#8217;ll have to throw away product and you&#8217;ll lose customers.\u00a0Ultimately, your product is what&#8217;s making you money, and the best service in the world won&#8217;t make up for an off pint or dirty glasses.\u00a0Therefore, it&#8217;s just as important to focus on your housekeeping as it is on the front of house service.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce the quality of your product. <\/strong>Poor cleaning and maintenance will impact the taste, appearance and aroma of your product.\u00a0For example, you&#8217;ll need to\u00a0clean your beer lines\u00a0<strong>at least every 7 days<\/strong>. If you fail to do this, your lines can be subject to wild yeast build up and bacterial infections and could result in a sour, vinegary pint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Encounter further issues on the bar and in the cellar. <\/strong>If you continually find you have fobbing pints, off tasting or hazy beer (and don&#8217;t know why) it might be because you are lacking a proper cleaning routine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be at risk of pest infestations.<\/strong> Poor cleanliness can increase the risk of a pest infestation which can be dangerous to human health, expensive to clean up and can result in a lot of wastage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/2-K.jpg\" alt=\"Importance of a cleaning schedule shown by lipstick on a dirty glass in a pub\" width=\"685\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To avoid these problems, you should develop and implement a proper cleaning schedule.<\/p>\n<h4>Further benefits of a cleaning schedule include:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increased accountability.<\/strong>\u00a0A cleaning schedule\u00a0will ensure your employees know what\u00a0needs to be done and who should be doing it. It will also help you keep track and chase up any instances when cleaning has not occurred.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consistent levels of hygiene. <\/strong>All employees should have the proper training to carry out their duties. Coupled with a cleaning schedule, this will ensure all cleaning is carried out on time and to the same standard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quick identification of pests.\u00a0<\/strong>Regular cleaning will help you and your employees quickly identify any pests. This will reduce the severity of any infestation and the clean-up costs involved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evidence of due diligence.<\/strong> Your cleaning schedule will show that you&#8217;re committed to cleanliness on the premises, and can be evidence of your due diligence during inspections or should someone get food poisoning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A cleaning schedule will help you to meet your legal responsibilities, serve good product, reduce wastage and keep customers.

It&#8217;s important that your employees know what needs to be cleaned, by whom and when.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your cleaning schedule should include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The item, surface or area that needs to be cleaned, or the task that needs to be carried out.<\/li>\n<li>How often it needs to be carried out, e.g. daily, weekly, monthly, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To determine the tasks on your cleaning schedule, you should walk through your premises and make a note of everything that needs cleaning or maintaining. This might include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bar checks.<\/strong> For example, checking the glass washer salt levels and carrying out water break tests.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bar cleaning.<\/strong> Such as, cleaning the glass washer and renovating glassware.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cellar checks.\u00a0<\/strong>For example, checking the cellar temperature and turning off the dispense gas on pub close.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cellar cleaning.<\/strong> Including line cleaning and cleaning the cellar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, you must provide all employees with appropriate training to ensure they can carry out their duties safely and effectively.
