Pantry Hygiene Standards Every Office Should Keep
A pantry is a shared food area. Hygiene is not optional, and it is far easier when the supplies to maintain it are always in stock.

Daily, weekly and monthly tasks
Wipe-downs and bin changes are daily. Fridge clear-outs and surface deep cleans are weekly. Descaling and cupboard resets are monthly.
- Daily: counters, sink, bins
- Weekly: fridge, microwave, floor
- Monthly: descale machines, reset shelves
Check expiry on every visit
Any managed check should include expiry rotation, moving older stock forward and pulling anything close to date.
Never run out of the cleaning list
Dishwashing liquid, surface spray, bin liners and hand soap belong on the same par level system as coffee.
