Restaurant Equipment Cleaning

A restaurant kitchen is one of the most regularly cleaned areas, and for a good reason. The existing industry regulations, particularly NFPA 96 and the commercial cooking operations code dictate that safety must be a priority. This is in response to the ever-present danger of grease buildup, bacteria, and other hazards in a restaurant kitchen.

Kitchen equipment, in particular, must be kept clean and free of built-up grime. Doing so reduces the risk of contamination, bacteria growth, and fire hazards. As such, a comprehensive cleaning plan is in place that includes routine maintenance and deep cleanings.

Muskoka Hood Cleaning will perform restaurant equipment cleaning for your convenience. Call us immediately to learn about the several cleaning packages we have for you.

Restaurant Cleaning Checklist: The Ultimate Kitchen Cleaning Guide

Cleanliness is the key to your restaurant’s success. All equipment used in cooking, preparing, and serving food must be kept clean. A cleaning checklist must incorporate the following:

Hood Cleaning: Muskoka Hood Cleaning takes care of your hood with the help of steam, degreasers, and pressure washing. This job’s focal point is removing baked-on grease and dirt buildup.

Filter Cleaning: Filters on the exhaust system are the most abused components of the hood system. They must be washed regularly to prevent grease from accumulating and spreading in the kitchen. Filters must also be replaced, depending on the type and frequency of use.

Ductwork Cleaning: Restaurants must regularly clean their exhaust system, particularly if the ducts are made of metal or have been exposed to high temperatures. To ensure optimal results, it’s best to consult a professional for any necessary cleaning services.

Sanitation: To prevent foodborne illnesses, clean all surfaces and equipment with approved sanitizers. This chore should be performed daily, right after finishing the final cleanup.

Deep Clean: Complete a deep cleaning at least once a month to ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly scrubbed, scraped, and rinsed. This will help eliminate any hidden germs or dirt particles missed during daily cleaning. Deep cleaning is Muskoka Hood Cleaning’s forte. Let our industry-leading team of cleaners take care of this job through regular inspections and visits.

 

Back-of-House Cleaning Checklist

The most successful restaurants rely on a pre-determined and properly implemented cleaning checklist that covers all back-of-house (BOH) areas. This includes walk-in refrigerators, coolers, and freezers. Here are a few of the key points to consider:

Floor Cleaning: Sweep, mop, and vacuum floors in the kitchen area daily to keep food dirt from settling there. Cleaning the floors weekly with a heavy-duty cleaner is also recommended to kill bacteria and other germs.

Equipment and Appliances: All equipment and appliances must be wiped down after each use. This cleaning should include wiping off all surfaces, including handles, knobs, switches, and control buttons. Grease buildup on the equipment can be a potential fire hazard and needs to be removed.

Refrigerators, Freezers, and Coolers: Part of the maintenance job for this equipment include wiping down the doors, gaskets (rubber seal), inner walls, shelves, and drawers. The same goes for any ice machines used in the kitchen and any other cold storage devices.

Walls and Baseboards: Cleaning walls and baseboards are crucial in keeping food debris, dust, and dirt from settling. Wipe down these surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge regularly.

Ceilings and Light Fixtures: Keeping the ceiling clean prevents built-up dirt and dust from settling. Clean the ceiling, light fixtures, and other overhead components regularly with a damp cloth.

At Muskoka Hood Cleaning, we will assess your restaurant’s cleaning needs and create a customized checklist for back-of-house cleaning. Let’s discuss your needs and develop a cleaning plan tailored to your requirements.

How to Clean and Maintain Grease Traps, Inceptors and Kitchen Exhaust Systems

It’s a given for any restaurant setting that grease traps, inceptors, and kitchen exhaust systems will eventually get clogged or dirty. At Muskoka Hood Cleaning, we insist on preventive maintenance for this equipment. Regularly scheduled cleaning and maintenance will help you save on costly repairs and ensure that the air quality in your restaurant remains safe from any contaminants.

We will inspect your grease traps and inceptors to see if they work properly. We deliver deep cleaning services for kitchen exhaust systems, i.e., hoods, ducts, fans and filters, to eliminate any grease buildup.

 

Cleaning Countertops and Hard Surfaces

The way to effectively clean countertops and hard surfaces in a commercial kitchen involves the use of hot water pressure washers. Hot-pressure washers don’t just remove built-up dirt and debris but can also kill 99.99 percent of the usual germs and bacteria that threaten a restaurant’s cleanliness.

At Muskoka Hood Cleaning, we use hot-pressure washers to deep clean the kitchen area, countertops, sinks, faucets, griddles and other hard surfaces in your restaurant. We also check for any water or gas leaks when we do our cleaning.

Restaurants should use a hot-pressure washer at least once every three months to keep their kitchen area clean and safe from contaminants. Contact Muskoka Hood Cleaning to discuss your commercial kitchen’s deep cleaning needs.

 

Cleaning Kitchen Floors, Walls, and Ceiling

Cleaning the kitchen floor is a major part of keeping your restaurant clean and hygienic. Floors should be swept or vacuumed regularly to remove all unwanted dirt and debris. Mop the floor with a mild detergent to remove any traces of dirt or grease.

Walls and baseboards should be regularly wiped with a damp cloth or sponge. Cleaning the ceiling prevents built-up dirt and dust from settling. Use a damp cloth to clean light fixtures and other overhead components.

With our team of experienced cleaners, cleaning your kitchen’s ceiling, floor, and walls is as quick and efficient as possible. Call today to get a free estimate.

 

 

Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly Restaurant Kitchen Cleaning Tasks

How you approach the responsibility of restaurant kitchen cleaning determines the cleanliness and safety of your kitchen. To keep things in order, create a checklist of tasks that need to be done weekly, monthly and yearly.

The weekly cleaning routine involves wiping all surfaces, mopping the floors, and disinfecting cutting boards with certified cleaners. You should deep clean equipment such as ovens and stoves every month, plus replace any worn floor mats.

Annually, you must inspect fire suppression systems, grease traps, and exhaust systems – not forgetting a thorough kitchen scrubbing too!
