See the next check date for each tool and which comes first
It is easy to remember replacing a cutting board and completely forget when a knife went into service. Enter the date each of three tools started being used along with the check interval you have decided on, and the page lists the next check date, the days left and the single tool that falls due first. Rows you leave blank are simply skipped.
How the numbers are worked out
The next check date is the start date plus your interval, added as whole calendar days, and days left is the difference from today. Because real dates are advanced rather than milliseconds, month ends and leap days such as 29 February carry over correctly. No officially recommended interval or replacement point is offered here: the figures in circulation depend on how heavily a tool is used and what it is made of, so they are common practice rather than a published standard. As of October 2026, the interval is yours to set.
Sanitizing temperatures, holding times, washing methods and replacement intervals are not covered on this page. For cleaning and care, follow the product manual and the manufacturer's instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Only rows with both a start date and an interval are calculated, and anything left blank is listed as not entered in the results. One tool on its own is enough to get a date back.
It means the next check date has already passed, and it is shown as days overdue. A date landing on today is labeled as today, and a start date later than today is flagged instead of being calculated.
