Restaurant Kitchen Deep Cleaning

Restaurant-focused deep cleaning scheduled when you are closed.

Restaurant kitchens take a beating every service. A periodic deep clean removes the grease film and buildup that daily close-down routines cannot reach, from floor corners to the walls behind the line.

We clean overnight or on closed days, focusing on the cook line, prep areas, and floors, and we can combine the visit with hood and exhaust cleaning.

What this service covers

  • Cook line area
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Walls behind equipment
  • Prep stations exteriors

Common problems we address

  • Grease tracked across floors
  • Odors from drains and corners
  • Buildup behind fryers

Safety and NFPA 96

For restaurant kitchen deep 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.

Benefits for your business

  • Safer floors
  • Cleaner environment for staff
  • Ready for inspections
