If the idea of cleaning a commercial kitchen sounds like a big job, that’s because it is. Like all big jobs, the best way to accomplish it is to break it up into a series of smaller tasks. In between visits from your San Diego restaurant cleaning service, it is important to keep your commercial kitchen spotless, both for aesthetic and health and safety reasons.
- Clean and sanitize all cutting boards, countertops, and surfaces after each use. Wipe surfaces with a damp rag, and then again with a dry one, before using a sanitizing solution to clean and disinfect. Many foodborne illnesses are caused by improper cleaning and sanitation practices.
- Wipe down ovens with a scrubbing pad and a solution of soap and water on a daily basis or as needed. To remove stubborn stains from grills, allow them to warm up and then use a wire brush and a damp rag to clean them.
- Empty your kitchen trash cans as soon as they fill up. This will help to keep your kitchen clean and sanitary and will also discourage pests.
- Set aside time for larger tasks, such as mopping the floors, cleaning range hoods, etc. at a time when the restaurant is closed and on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis as needed. Be sure to ask your San Diego commercial cleaning service for more cleaning tips and advice.
