An acceptable manual method of cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils and tableware is to use a three-compartment sink; to wash in the first compartment with hot water and a detergent; rinse in clean hot water in the second compartment; and sanitize in the third compartment, using an accepted procedure. Other methods acceptable to the permit-issuing official may be used. The procedure must clean and sanitize the article so as to produce an average plate count of not more than 100 colonies on the surface of the utensils examined, with no coliform bacteria.
