Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on bar cleaning programmes.
Understand
Consistent cleaning protects against bacterial contamination, pest infestations, and the kind of gradual build-up that leads to equipment failures. A structured programme across four frequencies ensures nothing gets missed.
The daily checklist covers tasks including sanitising the bar top between customers, cleaning drip trays, emptying and sanitising ice wells, washing bar mats, wiping down taps and dispensers, and sweeping and mopping the floor. Beer lines need a weekly flush with line cleaning solution to prevent yeast build-up and off-flavours, plus a monthly deep clean with a keg line brush to physically remove biofilm that chemical cleaning alone cannot shift.
Monthly tasks include scrubbing grout and tile surfaces, deep cleaning carpets, cleaning extraction hood filters (which are a fire risk if clogged), polishing wooden bar surfaces, cleaning air vents, and inspecting drainage areas. Twice a year, tasks like stripping and reapplying floor wax, sanitising ductwork, performing preventive plumbing checks, and inspecting for mould address major maintenance that is too disruptive for monthly cleaning but essential for long-term hygiene.
