Description
A cleaning task describes the cleaning of a location or equipment on a farm. It does NOT mean cleaning of produce, which is covered as part of the “Wash and pack” task type.
Many types of certifications, including Organic require recording all inputs (see Certifications, certifiers, and LiteFarm for more information) on a farm. Since many cleaning tasks will require the use of a cleaning agent, it’s essential that users can record their use of cleaning agents on the cleaning task in LiteFarm.
