Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glasses and flatware-store cups and glasses upside down on a clean and sanitized shelf or rack. Store flatware and utensils with handles up. Staff can then pick them up without touching food contact surfaces, which can help prevent the transfer of pathogens such as norovirus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clean and sanitize items after each use and before food handlers start working with a different type of food. Also, clean and sanitize utensils and equipment after food handlers are interrupted during a task and the items may have been contaminated. If items are in constant use, clean and sanitize every four hours.

It is important that the clean, sanitized equipment and surfaces drain dry and are stored dry so as to prevent bacteria growth.
