Commercial Cooking Equipment Cleaning

Degreasing ranges, ovens, fryers, and griddles beyond daily cleaning.

Daily cleaning keeps cooking equipment usable, but grease and carbon still build up on sides, backs, and hard-to-reach surfaces. Over time those deposits affect appearance, sanitation, and how equipment performs.

We degrease and detail cooking equipment such as ranges, ovens, and the surrounding stainless steel. Equipment cleaning can be added to a hood service visit to make the most of a single overnight window.

What this service covers

  • Ranges and ovens exteriors
  • Conveyor and deck ovens
  • Fryer exteriors and surrounding areas
  • Stainless steel walls and shelves

Common problems we address

  • Carbonized grease on equipment sides
  • Grease behind and under equipment
  • Dull stainless surfaces

Safety and NFPA 96

For commercial cooking equipment cleaning, NFPA 96 (the National Fire Protection Association standard for commercial cooking operations) is the usual reference for inspection, cleaning access, and documentation. The edition in force and how it is enforced depend on your local authority having jurisdiction. We clean thoroughly and document our work, but no contractor can guarantee an inspection result. Learn more about NFPA 96.
