Question 1 of 7
Floors, walls, and ceilings in food and warewashing areas must be smooth, durable, and easily cleanable as required. Floor-wall junctures in wet-cleaning areas require coved and sealed construction that prevents water intrusion and harborage. Toilet rooms must be completely enclosed and their doors kept closed except during cleaning or use. Absorbent damaged surfaces that cannot be cleaned must be repaired or replaced rather than repeatedly sprayed. What are the key elements of maintaining cleanable surfaces and sanitation in a food establishment?
