Question: 1 / 400

When washing dishes in a three-compartment sink, what should the first compartment contain?

Sanitizing solution

Clean, hot water and soap (detergent)

In a three-compartment sink, the first compartment should contain clean, hot water and soap (detergent). This is because it is used to wash off any food debris or grease from the dishes. Cold water may not be as effective in removing these substances, and using just soap without water may create too much suds and not effectively clean the dishes. Sanitizing solution is typically used in the third compartment for final rinsing, and should not be used as the first compartment as it may contaminate the soap and make it less effective.
