What is the right sequence to wash dishes, utensils, and equipment?

  1. Pre-scrape, wash, rinse, and sanitize, then airdry

  2. Wash, pre-scrape, rinse, and airdry

  3. Rinse, wash, pre-scrape, and sanitize

  4. Sanitize, wash, rinse, and pre-scrape

The correct answer is: Pre-scrape, wash, rinse, and sanitize, then airdry

Washing dishes, utensils, and equipment involves a specific sequence to ensure proper cleaning and sanitation. Option A is the correct sequence as it follows the industry-accepted 4-step process pre-scraping large food particles, washing with detergent, rinsing with clean water, and sanitizing to kill bacteria. Airdrying is the recommended final step to avoid contamination from towels. Option B is incorrect as it skips the crucial pre-scraping step. Option C is incorrect as it switches the order of washing and rinsing, leading to possible recontamination. Option D is incorrect as it sanitizes before washing, which can make the detergent less effective. Overall, the best sequence for washing dishes, utensils, and equipment is pre-scrape, wash, rinse, sanitize, and then airdry.
