The outdoor terraces will be filled with customers in the summer, and the warmer the weather the longer the queues for ice-cream. Summer assistants help out to keep up with the higher demand, but they must also have time to keep things hygienic and tidy. Keeping the restaurant’s terrace furniture, the kiosk and outdoor restaurant clean is easy when you have the right cleaning agents and equipment. Finnish-made Kiilto Pro cleaning agents get rid of dirt, grease and pollen effectively also outdoors. Cleaning instructions for a terrace, kiosk and other place where food is served help you and your staff to ensure proper hygiene and a clean and safe meal also outdoors. See a printable version of our instructions for summer assistants at the bottom.
Cleaning instructions for kiosk, terrace or outdoor restaurant
Ready-to-use cleaning agents make cleaning quick and easy
As the high season is in full swing, it is important to ensure that your staff has time to focus on serving your customers well. That’s why especially small kiosks should favour quick-to-use cleaning agents that require no diluting. This also improves occupational safety when employees do not have to handle cleaning agent concentrates in confined spaces.
Choose multipurpose cleaning agents
By using versatile cleaning agents, you will keep the number of packages to a minimum and keep cleaning simple. For example, by choosing Kiilto Pro Superquick Spurt all-purpose cleaner, you can use the same product to clean sales counters, customer tables and chairs, and glass surfaces and display cabinets. If you have to wash dishes by hand outdoors, Kiilto Pro Neutra L is a mildly fragranced product that can be used to wipe water-resistant surfaces and also wash dishes and ice-cream scoops. For effective grill cleaning, it’s best to use a degreaser specifically designed for the task, such as Kiilto Pro Grease Foam.
Remember to disinfect surfaces
Surfaces that are touched frequently, such as payment terminals, door handles, should also be disinfected outdoors to prevent infections. We have products to clean and disinfect surfaces in one go. The fragrance-three and efficient Kiilto Pro Antibact is suitable for the disinfection of all types of surfaces. If you are looking for a ready-to-use product, Kiilto Pro Easydes Spray does not have to be diluted. Surfaces coming into contact with food, such as cutting boards, must be wiped after use with a damp cloth. For disinfection, there are also food-safe ready-to-use wipes, such as Kiilto Pro Alco-Free WipeDes. They allow you to clean even delicate materials that cannot tolerate alcohol, with no need for a water rinse afterward.
Invest in high-quality cleaning equipment
Wiping customer tables and chairs is a part of daily routines, but do not forget about other surfaces. When glass surfaces and display cabinets are cleaned regularly, ice creams, and other treats look even more appetising. Remember to sweep up any loose rubbish daily or whenever necessary. With high-quality tools, this is easy. Learn more about our cleaning equipment range here.
Pay attention to hands — both yours and your customers’
Good, personal hygiene is always important when in contact with food. You should wash your hands often and also disinfect them if necessary. Disposable protective gloves can also be worn. Change gloves into clean ones often enough and whenever going from one work stage to the next. Remember, healthy skin is the best protection. Keeping hands moisturized helps maintain the skin’s integrity and defend against pathogens—even in summer.
It’s also recommended to provide customers with an opportunity to disinfect their hands. Placing hand sanitizer at the counter allows them to sanitize before eating, while including a disinfectant wipe with takeaway meals is a thoughtful touch that shows you care about their well-being beyond your premises.
Regular testing for better hygiene
Self-monitoring is an important part of keeping things clean. When you know how good hygiene is achieved, it is easy to address any problems. Hygicult TPC is a Finnish surface hygiene test with stringent quality requirements that gives you reliable results quickly and easily. Orion Clean Card Pro quick test has been designed to monitor surface cleanliness and protein residues.
