Sanitiser Concentration Test Log
Know that each bucket, spray bottle and sink was at the strength its label asks for. A solution mixed by eye is a guess; a strip reading is a record.

Spot a dish or glass washer that has stopped reaching its own figures on the day it happens. One sheet, front and back, covers a month on one machine.
Restaurants, pubs, cafes and school or care-home kitchens with an undercounter or pass-through dish or glass washer.
2 pages, in this order:
Printed under the title: Daily checks on one machine for a month: wash and final rinse readings against its own data plate, water changes, filters, wash arms and chemical levels, with descales and engineer visits at the end.
Its data plate, not ours. No temperatures, pressures or chemical strengths are printed. Copy the wash and final rinse figures from this machine's data plate or manual into the boxes below and check each reading against them: a machine that does not reach them cannot be relied on to sanitise.
Write-on lines: Machine (make and model) · Location · Serial or asset no. · Engineer's number · Wash on data plate · Final rinse on plate · Detergent · Rinse aid · Sanitiser, if chemical
Table, 32 rows: Date · Wash · Rinse · Plate? · Water · Filters · Detergent · Rinse aid · Test · Action taken · Initials
Table, 3 rows: Date · Work done · Company and engineer · Readings after · Report or job no. · Next due
From the data plate on the machine or from its manual. They differ between makes, models and machine types, which is why none is printed here. Copy them into the boxes at the top once, and every daily reading is checked against the right figures.
Yes. Write chemical at the top, name the sanitiser, and use the label or strip column to record a test-strip reading of its strength each day alongside the wash reading.
So a whole month of daily checks, and the descales and engineer visits for that month, stay on one sheet printed front and back. Use one sheet per machine.
Know that each bucket, spray bottle and sink was at the strength its label asks for. A solution mixed by eye is a guess; a strip reading is a record.
Give every fault on a fridge, fryer, oven or glass washer one line, so nothing is reported twice or forgotten once, and the manager can see what is still open.
Keep an espresso machine's daily clean and its service history on one sheet, so a fault or a filter change can be dated and the engineer sees what was done.
Set out who cleans what and how often, with initials against each day so the rota is a record rather than an intention.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
