A standard component in the back of house, foodservice operators use prep sinks to wash dirt and other contaminants from food before preparation.

It’s important to note that foodservice operators mainly use prep sinks for cleaning foods and slicing fruits and vegetables. These are not designated for hand washing.

Large operations with big bills for garbage hauling may turn to pulpers to cut costs. These units can turn a garbage bag full of table scraps and disposables into a slurry with a fraction of the volume. Here are tips to keep this equipment running well.

Prep sinks require fairly basic cleaning and maintenance. Frequent sink scrubbing and sanitizing will help prevent rust and corrosion. Use only mild soap and water or nonabrasive cleansers to clean stainless-steel sinks since abrasive cleansers will scratch and dull surfaces. Operators shouldn’t use steel wool to clean stainless steel. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and wipe the sink dry.

All air cleaners require periodic cleaning and filter replacement to function properly. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations on maintenance and replacement.
