Why Deep Cleans are so important within a commercial kitchen environment

As with any environment where food is prepared, good daily cleaning of your kitchen is essential, but your kitchen staff aren’t trained in the art of high-level cleaning, and will not have the experience to properly deep clean heavy equipment, which is why it is so important to outsource to a deep cleaning commercial kitchen specialist.

Here are some reasons why this is so important.

Increase your overall hygiene
Professional deep cleaning is a great way to improve the overall hygiene, that additional time and care is taken to ensure areas are fully clear of dirt and debris that may have been missed on a regular daily clean. A kitchen deep clean should clean and degrease every inch of your kitchen, including the canopy and grease filters, kitchen extract ductwork. All equipment, such as ovens, fryers, microwaves and counters, food preparation surfaces, sinks and dishwashers, refrigeration units and freezers, ceilings, walls, and floors.

Reduces foodborne illnesses
We all know that people look at what hygiene levels are at an eatery and having an outbreak of food poisoning can cause irreparable damage to your reputation. By having your kitchen regularly deep cleaned, you are reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Norovirus.

Maintain your health & safety regulations
There is strict legislation in place to ensure that the high level of hygiene standards is met, your Local Authority, The Food Standards Agency, trading standards, and environmental health officers all have a responsibility to ensure that any operating kitchen complies with food safety guidelines. You could face fines with the threat of closure until your kitchen is safe if your kitchen is not kept clean.

Minimise the risk of those pesky pests
Professional deep cleans will involve the moving of heavy pieces of kitchen equipment, which will enable the surrounding areas to be thoroughly cleaned. Without these potential food sources around the equipment will minimise the likelihood of pests in the area, following a deep clean you should ensure that any spills are cleaned away daily.

Protects your kitchen equipment
The equipment within your kitchen is a huge investment and ensuring that you have a regular deep cleaning program protects it from breakdowns and maximises its life expectancy.

You must wipe up your daily spills, but a deep clean will cover all those areas you may not have thought about, there are areas, such as extract ductwork and oven drip trays that collect dangerously high levels of built-up oils and grease, these could cause a fire hazard.
