cleaning is by removing all visible dirt and grime but does not kill the microorganism unlike sanitizing is reducing the numbers of pathogenic microorganism to a safe level through the use of chemical and/or moist/heat.
washing only cleans so much and sanitizing kills all the bad bacteria and bad germs on there
Sanitizing is the process of reducing the number of microorganisms on a clean surface to safe levels. To be effective, cleaning and sanitizing must be a two-step process. Surfaces must first be cleaned and rinsed before being sanitized. (ServSafe Essentials section 11-21)
