FAQs
How often should a restaurant be cleaned?
Daily Cleaning: Restaurants are exposed to many elements that, if not cleaned daily, can fester and spread bacteria and foodborne illnesses. Both the front end and back of house should be cleaned regularly, multiple times a day. Daily tasks should include cleaning surfaces, kitchen equipment, floors, and restrooms. Be sure to post signs to remind staff to wash their hands frequently to help reduce the spread of germs. But there’s more to it than that.
Weekly Cleaning: For an optimal, clean kitchen environment, freezers, refrigerators, and ovens should be cleaned and sanitized weekly. To prevent grease build-up, ventilation hoods and filters should ideally be cleaned every week. In the front end, dining room furniture, floors, and high-traffic areas should be thoroughly cleaned.
Monthly Deep Cleaning: Deeper, monthly cleanings should also be performed. In the front of house, all carpeted areas should be steam cleaned once a month. In the kitchen, walls, ceilings, floor drains, and large appliances should be deep cleaned.
Additional Cleaning: The kitchen’s grease trap should be cleaned 2-4 times a year. Ventilation systems, high-dusting, and pest control should be performed biannually to quarterly.
What is the difference between restaurant cleaning and sanitizing?
In general, cleaning is considered to remove the visible dirt, debris, and food residues that can accumulate on work surfaces and floors. Sanitizing uses chemical cleaning products to effectively kill bacteria and pathogens that could cause illness. Cleaning should be performed first, and then followed up with proper sanitization to keep your staff and customers safe and healthy.
What cleaning products are safe to use in a restaurant?
A variety of cleaners can safely be used in the restaurant industry. However, when it comes to sanitizing commercial surfaces that come into contact with food, cleaners should prioritize using products that are specific to that task. Always read safety labels on cleaning products and store them separately, away from food. Bleach can be used in the kitchen for sanitizing with the proper dilution that is recommended for your task. Hiring a professional commercial kitchen and restaurant cleaning service eliminates this dilemma, as these experts also have the equipment and training necessary to perform a more in-depth cleaning effectively.
What are some of the most overlooked areas in restaurant kitchens that need attention during cleaning?
Some areas that staff and managers may overlook (or are just too busy to get to) include behind and under kitchen equipment, drains, edges of floors, ceiling fans, ducts, and air vents, kitchen backsplashes, door handles, and walls.
Should my staff clean our restaurant’s grease trap?
Cleaning a grease trap takes time, and it needs to be done right. The grease trap’s water supply should be shut off, and the lid carefully removed.
Next, you will need to scoop off the layer of fat and grease solids floating on the surface. Then, use a wet/dry vacuum to remove debris and solids from the trap. Use a soapy brush to scrub the interior surfaces of the trap, and finally, flush with clean water. Opening a grease trap often produces a foul, unpleasant odor that can fill your entire building. That is why many restaurants leave it to the professionals for after-hours cleaning.
What are the benefits of hiring a professional cleaning company?
Take extra stress off your staff by hiring a cleaning crew that can perform necessary deep cleaning tasks after hours. You’ll have priceless peace of mind knowing that our team backs your team up – on all cleaning needs, on every day of the week. From janitors to supervisors to account managers, everyone here at Empire Fresh is on task to make sure your cleaning services are running smoothly.
