How Much Does It Cost To Deep Clean A Kitchen?
Seeking several quotations for commercial kitchen deep cleaning will, inevitably, yield a variety of responses, from the eyebrow raising to the eye-watering. It can be tricky to unpick these and understand how the level of service will vary. For this reason, it’s essential to obtain a full breakdown of the areas that will be deep cleaned, as any shortcuts could result in substandard results that place the health of your customers and staff at risk.
A thorough deep clean of a commercial kitchen should include:
- Renewing filters as needed.
- Emptying and cleaning out grease traps.
- Deep cleaning floor surfaces.
- Deep cleaning walls and ceilings, including panels, wall tiles, grout, and ceiling tiles.
- Deep cleaning heavy equipment, including ovens, steamers, fryers, pans, and rotisserie ovens.
- Deep cleaning secondary equipment, such as fridges and freezers, preparation tables, cupboards, hot plates, and drawers.
- Cleaning and disinfecting sinks, drainers, and work surfaces.
How Often Should A Commercial Kitchen Be Deep Cleaned?
It’s likely that your kitchen will receive a basic clean on a regular basis – how frequently may depend on how often it is used. A school kitchen, for example, may only require a clean daily, whereas a commercial restaurant that serves lunch and dinner will require regular cleaning throughout the day.
A deep clean, however, is a more thorough, professional clean that must be carried out in addition to basic cleans. Commercial kitchens must fulfil certain requirements under health and safety law:
- Commercial kitchens must be deep cleaned as often as required – the more usage, the more often a deep clean is required. In particular establishments that prepare multiple meals throughout the day and use equipment such as fryers may need more regular deep cleaning.
- A detailed cleaning protocol must be in place to ensure that commercial kitchen cleanliness is consistently of the highest standard.
However, a deep clean can be carried out more often if necessary, if only to offer peace of mind that the facilities are in the best condition possible. One-off deep cleans should be completed in the following circumstances:
- If new owners are taking over a commercial kitchen.
- After a period of inactivity (for example, in a school kitchen at the end of a holiday, or a restaurant kitchen following lockdown).
- If intensive use has been made of a kitchen.
- If a commercial kitchen has been subjected to excessive dirt, such as construction dust or debris.
