What is the final step in cleaning and sanitizing a prep table?

  1. Allowing the surface to air-dry

  2. Rinsing the surface

  3. Sanitizing the surface

  4. Scrubbing the surface

The correct answer is: Allowing the surface to air-dry

Allowing the surface to air-dry is indeed the final step in the process of cleaning and sanitizing a prep table. This step is crucial because it ensures that any remaining sanitizer can effectively work on the surface and that it is free from any contaminants before food is placed on it. Air-drying also helps to prevent the introduction of new bacteria that can occur when surfaces are wiped down after sanitizing, as towels can harbor germs. After cleaning and sanitizing, the next logical phase is letting the surface dry naturally to maintain hygiene and ensure food safety.
