When you run a commercial kitchen, hygiene and safety matter the most. Daily cleaning sanitization, weekly deep cleans of kitchen surfaces, and monthly and quarterly scrub-downs of equipment are all well-established best practices that your internal staff or a professional service can manage. On top of these more frequent cleanings, it’s equally important to maintain a stringent semi-annual and annual schedule for more in-depth cleaning processes. At Steamatic of North Indianapolis, our team is here to helpsupport your kitchen’s commercial cleaning needs, whether you want support for monthly or weekly cleanings or you want to outsource big, infrequent cleanups to the pros at a commercial kitchen cleaning company.
How Often Professional Kitchen Cleaning Should Be Done
There’s never a day that goes by when you don’t clean your commercial kitchen. However, kitchen managers use multiple different schedules to ensure every inch of the kitchen receives a safe level of sanitizing, cleaning, and deep cleaning to keep health, hygiene, and safety high. Here’s what type of cleaning should occur around the calendar:
- Daily: A thorough, surface-level clean, including sweeping and mopping the floors, sanitizing food prep surfaces and appliances, and cleaning equipment.
- Monthly: Deep cleaning all the surfaces listed above, as well as the hood filters, commercial ovens, baking trays, and other hard-to-reach surfaces.
- Quarterly: Some commercial kitchens will have even more in-depth cleaning, such as for the hood filters of kitchens that use woks and charbroilers.
- Semi-Annual: In this deep clean project, the ventilation systems are also cleaned, especially the interiors of the extraction systems. Here, grease and soot can build up, presenting a fire hazard, increasing the risk of pests and decreasing overall air quality and sanitation.
Commercial kitchens work best when they have a clear schedule for every level of cleaning project.
What to Expect From a Commercial Cleaning Company
Depending on the size of your commercial kitchen, you may not have the staff on hand to commit to regular deep cleaning. This can apply to small commercial kitchens without the staff and equipment for comprehensive quarterly and semi-annual cleanings or large institutional kitchens where supplementing your cleaning staff with a commercial kitchen cleaning company makes good sense.
When you hire a commercial kitchen cleaning company, expect support or complete management and completion of these elements:
- Long-term strategy for rolling cleaning schedules
- Licensed or certified personnel, especially for steam cleaning and extraction system cleaning
- Options for overnight kitchen cleaning to minimize impact on your business
- The specialty tools and equipment that guarantee a complete level of clean
- Several different pricing programs or a la carte options to meet the unique needs of your kitchen
