Kitchen Cleaning Rota
Set out who cleans what and how often, with initials against each day so the rota is a record rather than an intention.
Kitchen and catering · KC-15
A free printable sanitiser test log: strip readings for buckets, sprays, sinks and machines against the range on the label, with the fix and the retest.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
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.
Kitchens, bars, delis and food producers that sanitise with a solution made up from concentrate.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Each test-strip reading of a sanitising solution against the range on the product's own label, and what was done when it read too weak or too strong.
The label sets the range. No concentrations or contact times are printed: they are on the label of the product you use and differ from one sanitiser to the next. Use the test strips made for that chemical, as a strip for one type will not read another, and retest any solution you remake or adjust.
Write-on lines: Site · Week beginning · Supervisor · Product A · Range on its label · Contact time · Test strips used · Strips expire · Product B, if any · Range on its label · Contact time · Test strips used · Strips expire
Table, 9 rows: Date · Time · Where · Product · Reading · In range? · Action taken · Retest · Initials · Supervisor

Because every sanitiser has its own working range and contact time, printed on its own label, and they differ widely between products and types. A figure from the wrong product could leave a solution too weak to work. Copy yours from the label at the top of the sheet.
No. Strips are made for a particular chemical, and a strip for one type will not give a true reading of another. Use the strips the sanitiser maker or your supplier names, and keep an eye on their expiry date.
Set out who cleans what and how often, with initials against each day so the rota is a record rather than an intention.
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.
Show afterwards that the bench was cleaned down between the nut batch and the nut-free one, and that somebody other than the person who cleaned it said so.
Give a contract cleaning round a paper trail, so what was done and by whom is a signed line rather than an argument at the end of the month.
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.
