This is a Self-Learning Module (SLM) for Grade 8 Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), Home Economics – Cookery. Module 2, Kitchen Tools, Equipment, and Paraphernalia Maintenance, teaches learners how to choose the right cleaning chemicals and how to clean, sanitize, and care for kitchen tools and work areas. It was developed by DepEd Caraga Region as an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) module for learning at home.
On this page 7 sections
What learners will learn
The module covers Learning Outcome 2: Maintain appropriate kitchen tools, equipment, and paraphernalia (TLE_HECK7/8MT-0b-2). After going through it, learners are expected to:
- select various types of chemicals for cleaning and sanitizing kitchen tools, equipment, and paraphernalia
- clean and sanitize kitchen tools and equipment following the manufacturer’s instructions, use cleaning tools and equipment according to standard operating procedure, and maintain kitchen tools, equipment, and work areas
- appreciate the importance of proper maintenance of kitchen tools, equipment, and paraphernalia
Lessons in this module
- Lesson 1: Types of Chemicals for Cleaning and Sanitizing Kitchen Tools, Equipment, and Paraphernalia. Explains what cleaning is and describes the four categories of cleaning agents, including the different acid cleaners and abrasive cleaners.
- Lesson 2: Cleaning and Sanitizing Kitchen Tools, Equipment and Paraphernalia. Covers the five steps of the cleaning operation, methods of sanitizing, chemical sanitizers, and care tips for specific tools and for the whole kitchen.
Key ideas in Lesson 1: Cleaning agents
Cleaning is the process of removing soil and preventing food residues from building up on plates, glasses, and other kitchen tools and equipment. Not every cleaning agent can be used on food-contact surfaces, so the right one must be chosen. Cleaning agents are substances, usually liquids, powders, sprays, or granules, used to remove dirt, dust, stains, and bad smells.
The four categories of cleaning agents are:
| Category | What it does | Examples from the module |
|---|---|---|
| Detergents | Wash tableware, surfaces, and equipment | Soap, soap powders, cleaners |
| Solvent cleaners (degreasers) | Dissolve grease; alkaline-based | Used on ovens and grills |
| Acid cleaners | Remove mineral deposits and soils that detergents cannot | Phosphoric, oxalic, sulfamic, muriatic acid |
| Abrasives | Remove heavy soil by rubbing; use carefully to avoid surface damage | Steel wool, scrubbing pads, baking soda, salt |
The module describes four acid cleaners:
- Phosphoric acid: slightly weaker; cleans concrete, porcelain, and ceramic, but harms limestone, marble, and granite.
- Oxalic acid: removes rust and blemishes from vinyl, stone, and linoleum.
- Sulfamic acid: for ceramic and metal cleaning; removes dried cement from masonry and concrete.
- Muriatic acid: very corrosive, so use with caution; cleans swimming pool floors and walls and toilets.
It also lists four types of abrasive cleaners: dry abrasives (powdered cleansers with a small amount of surfactants, or surface-active agents), wet abrasives (liquid cleaners with more surfactants and softer abrasives), abrasive tools (scouring pads, steel wool, sponges), and disinfecting abrasives (with antimicrobial chemicals). Finer particles are less abrasive than coarser ones. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Key ideas in Lesson 2: Cleaning, sanitizing, and maintenance
The five steps of the cleaning operation
- Prewash: remove gross food before applying the cleaning solution.
- Wash: apply the cleaning compound.
- Rinse: remove all traces of the cleaning solution with clean potable water.
- Sanitize: use heat or chemicals.
- Air dry: dry dishes without encouraging bacteria to grow.
When washing dishes, go from the least greasy and least dirty to the greasiest and dirtiest: glassware, then cutlery, then plates and bowls, then pots and pans. Soak stubborn food deposits and change the water when it gets greasy.
Sanitizing
Sanitizing reduces the number of microorganisms on a clean surface to a safer level. Items must be washed before they can be sanitized. The two common methods are:
- Thermal sanitizing: steam, hot water, or hot air.
- Chemicals: the approved sanitizers are chlorine, iodine, and quaternary ammonium compounds.
Three factors matter: concentration (too little does not reduce germs enough; too much can be toxic), temperature (chemical sanitizers work best in water between 55°F and 120°F), and contact time (the item must stay in contact for the recommended time). Food establishments should use a test kit to check sanitizer strength throughout the day.
| Sanitizer | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorine | Works on many microorganisms; not affected by hard water; non-staining; easy to measure; inexpensive | Corrosive; irritates skin; short shelf life |
| Iodine | Non-corrosive; not irritating to skin; fast in acid pH, cold or hard water | Slow at pH 7.0 and above; vaporizes at 120°F; relatively expensive |
| Quaternary ammonium compounds | Non-corrosive; not irritating; no taste or odor in use dilutions | Not compatible with some detergents and hard water; relatively expensive |
Caring for specific tools
- Wooden spoons, cutting boards, bowls: hand wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and wipe dry.
- Knives: chop on a cutting board to keep blades sharp, wash in hot soapy water, dry after rinsing (carbon steel rusts quickly), and sharpen when dull.
- Plastic tools: hand wash in soapy water and avoid harsh abrasives that scratch.
- Broilers: empty the grease pan and scrub the grids with a soft wire brush.
- Stoves: keep stovetops clean so heat transfers well and less energy is used.
- Iron pots and pans: wash with a stiff brush or steel wool; treat rust with an oil-soaked cloth or a commercial rust remover.
The module also gives daily kitchen habits: clean up after each meal, wipe spills right away, clean the garbage disposal and refrigerator, sweep daily, and wash the floor weekly.
How to use this module
Each lesson follows the same parts: What I Know (pretest), What’s In, What’s New, What is It, What’s More, What I Have Learned, What I Can Do, Additional Activities, and Assessment. An answer key is at the end.
- Learners: answer all items on a separate sheet or in your activity notebook, not on the module. Lesson 1 asks you to survey cleaning agents used by local restaurants or carinderias. Lesson 2 asks you to video yourself cleaning and sanitizing a kitchen tool at home, reading the steps aloud, and send it to your teacher by Facebook or email; it is scored out of 20.
- Parents: help your child find a safe tool to clean, record the video, and handle strong acids like muriatic acid with care.
- Teachers: check the answer key before using it, since some section labels and answers do not line up with the lessons.

What is It
Kitchen is the place where food preparation, food storage and clean up stations can be found. It is where kitchen tools and equipment are being placed that needs proper care and maintenance.
Every individual should follow the proper cleaning and use of sanitizing chemicals to ensure that kitchen tools and equipment will be properly cleaned and maintained. It should always be the priority of the owner/manager of a particular establishment to maintain the cleanliness of the kitchen tools and equipment.
Cleaning is a process of removing soil and preventing accumulation of food residues to the plates, glasses, and other kitchen tools and equipment. It is done with a cleaning agent that removes food, remaining foods or other substances. The right cleaning agents must be selected because not all cleaning agents can be used on food-contact surfaces.
Cleaning agents are substances usually liquids, powders, sprays, or granules used to remove dirt, including dust, stains, bad smells, and clutter on surfaces.
Here are the four categories of cleaning agents
Detergents. These are cleaning agents used to wash tableware surfaces, and equipment. Examples: soap, soap powders, cleaners
Solvent cleaners. It is commonly referred as agent that remove grease from surfaces. Oven and grills are examples of areas that need frequent degreasing. These products are alkaline based and are formulated to dissolve grease.
Acid cleaners. It is used periodically used in removing mineral deposits and other soils that detergents cannot eliminate. For our convenience in cleaning the different surfaces at home we used to buy acid cleaners. But, consider the harmful effect and it is your duty to choose the right one which will suit to your needs.
Various types of acid cleaners
Phosphoric acid-slightly weaker and is useful for cleaning concrete, porcelain and ceramic surface. It is harmful for your limestone, marble and granite surface.
Oxalic Acid-It works as a rust remover. It also removes blemishes from vinyl, stone and linoleum surfaces.
Sulfamic acid-for ceramic and metal cleaning purpose. It can remove dried cement from masonry and concrete.
Muriatic acid. It used with caution because this is very corrosive that can cause damaged. It can be used in cleaning the floors and walls of the swimming pool and toilets.
Abrasives. It is used to remove heavy accumulations of soil that are difficult to remove with detergents, solvents and acids. These products must be carefully used to avoid damage to the surface being cleaned.
They are mechanical cleaners or materials that wear off dirt, stain and tarnish by rubbing. They are composed of either particles or physical abrasives such as sandpaper, steel wool and scrubbing pads. Finer particles are less abrasive. Coarser particles are more abrasive. Baking soda and salt can be used as abrasives.
Four types of abrasive cleaners
Dry abrasives: Powdered cleansers
A powdered cleanser that has a cleaning and polishing action because of the fine particles of calcite, feldspar, quartz and silica. It also contains a small amount –of surfactants for removing oily soils.
Surfactants –comes from the word surface-active agentWet abrasives: Liquid cleaners
It contains more surfactants and softer abrasives than powdered cleansers.Abrasive tools
Scouring pads, steel wool pad, and sponges are commonly used as abrasive tools.Disinfecting abrasives
Some abrasive cleaners contain antimicrobial chemicals and used to disinfect surfaces.
Cleaning agents must be properly used. Make it sure to follow the manufacturer’s instruction for effective result and to avoid misused.

Directions: Below are the common steps. Decide which of these comes first by writing 1 for the first step, 2 for the second step and so on down to the last. Write the answers in your activity notebook.
_____ A. Wipe with clean towel and dry. _____ B. Wash with detergent. _____ C. Remove gross foods from the casseroles. _____ D. Rinse it thoroughly.
What is It
The Cleaning Operation
There are five steps involved in cleaning and sanitizing whether it is done manually or by machine. These steps must be done to avoid cross-contamination between surfaces and food.
- Prewash – the removal of gross food before applying the cleaning solution
- Wash – the application of cleaning compound
- Rinse – the removal of all traces of the cleaning solution with clean potable water
- Sanitize – the kitchen utensils, tools and equipment must be sanitized using either heat or chemicals
- Air dry- drying dishes without motivating the growth of bacteria.
Tips in washing the dishes
Soak stubborn food deposits for cleaning up the pots and pans.
Use good sponge.
Wash your dishes from the least greasy and the least dirty to the greasiest and dirtiest.
Wash your glassware and any drinking vessels
Cutlery-knives, fork, spoons
Plates and bowls
Pots and pans
Drain and refill the water if needed, if you notice it getting greasy.
Cleaning the kitchen
Consider the following;
- Empty dishwashers/sink and dish drainer, as necessary.
- Wash dirty dishes as they happen.
- Wipe spills from counters, floors and appliances.
- Clean counters.
- Sweep floor.
- Set out clean rag for the next day.
- Clean outside of electric kitchen appliances.
Sanitizing -is the process of reducing the number of microorganisms on that clean surface to safer level.
It is done using heat, radiation, or chemicals. Heat and chemicals are commonly used as method for sanitizing in a restaurant than radiation. Wash properly kitchen tools before it can be properly sanitized.
Here are the methods of sanitizing:
- Thermal sanitizing. It involves the use of hot water or steam. There are three methods of using heat to sanitize surfaces-steam, hot water and hot air.
- Chemicals. Approved chemical sanitizers are chlorine, iodine and quaternary ammonium.
The factors that must be considered are:
- Concentration. The presence of too little sanitizer will result in an inadequate reduction of harmful microorganisms. Too much can be toxic.
- Temperature. Generally, chemical sanitizers work best in water that is between 55-degree Fahrenheit and 120-degree Fahrenheit.
- Contact time. The cleaned item must be in contact with the sanitizer for the recommended length of item.
Sanitizing Testing
Every food establishment must have the appropriate testing kit to measure chemical sanitizer concentrations. Use the proper test kit for accurate testing of the strength of a sanitizing solution. The suitable test kit must then be used throughout the day to measure chemical sanitizer concentration.
Advantages and disadvantages of Chemical Sanitizers
| Chemical | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorine | Effective against a wide variety of microorganisms. Not affected by water hardness Non-staining Concentration easily measured by field tests Generally inexpensive | Corrosive Irritating to skin Short shelf life |
| Iodine | Non-corrosive and non-irritation to skin Rapid bacterial action in acid pH range in cold or hard water | Slow acting at pH 7.0 above, vaporizes at 120-degree Fahrenheit Relatively expensive |
| Quaternary Ammonium Compounds | Non-corrosive Non-irritating to skin No taste or odor in use dilutions | Not compatible with some detergents and hard water Relatively expensive |
Maintenance of Kitchen Tools and Equipment
For a long term of use of kitchen tools and equipment, proper maintenance must be considered. There are ways and tips to follow:
Wooden spoons, cutting boards and bowls require hand washing. Wash wooden tools with warm soapy water and then thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Knives. Use cutting board when chopping to prevent knife blade from dulling. Wash knives in hot soapy water. You can dry stainless steel knives, but not carbon steel because it will quickly rust. Dry knives after washing and rinsing. Sharpen knives as soon as they become dull.
Plastic tools, including spoons, spatulas and microwave oven wares are usually dishwasher safe, but always check with the manufacture first. Hand wash the plastic tools in a soapy water. Avoid harsh abrasives, which can scratch plastic surfaces.
Broilers. Empty grease pan. Remove grids and scrub them with soft wire brush with detergent and water in the pot sink. Thoroughly wash and dry.
Stoves/ ranges. Keep the stovetops clean this will help transfer the heat to the cookware. The more accumulated debris, the harder it is for the stove to heat the food and the more energy will be required to do the job.
Iron pots, pans and utensils. Wash with soap and water, using a stiff brush or steel wool. If there is rust present, wipe items with an oil-saturated cloth or a commercial rust remover. If using commercial remover, be sure to follow the label instructions.
Disinfect the sink and clean faucets.
