Cleaning schedule

Work out what needs cleaning or disinfecting every day, or more than once a day, and what needs cleaning less frequently. Your schedule should show:

• what needs to be cleaned
• what needs to be disinfected
• how often it needs to be done
• how the cleaning/disinfecting should be done

It is a good idea to include cleaning instructions showing:

• cleaning procedures
• what cleaning products should be used
• how the products should be used, including how much they should be diluted and how long they should be left in contact with the surface, following the manufacturer’s instructions

You can use the cleaning schedule supplied below to write down how you clean in your business.
