Commercial kitchens are always busy with lots of foot traffic and countless meals being prepared every day.
As a result, the surfaces in these kitchens can become coated with grime, stains, and grease. Keeping these surfaces clean is critical to maintaining a healthy and hygienic environment for cooking and food preparation. Below are some handy tips on how to effectively remove stains and grime from kitchen surfaces.
Identify the type of surface
The first step in removing stains and grime from any surface is to determine the type of material it's made of. Surfaces in commercial kitchens can be made of stainless steel, tile, granite, or other materials. Each material has unique cleaning requirements and may require different cleaning products. It is essential that is correctly identified to avoid the surface being damaged and to allocate the correct cleaning solution to it.
Use the right cleaning products
Using the right cleaning products is critical for effective cleaning. For example, stainless steel surfaces require specific cleaning products to avoid damaging the material's finish. Acidic or abrasive cleaning products should be avoided as they can damage or scratch the surface. Use hot water and soap.
For general cleaning, hot water and soap are often the most effective tools. They can help break down and remove grease, grime, and stains. Use mild dish soap and hot water to clean surfaces thoroughly. Rinse the surface with clean water and dry with a towel or clean cloth.
Scrub the surface
For tougher stains and grime, a scrub brush or scouring pad can be used. Be sure to use a soft-bristled brush or pad to avoid scratching the surface. Scrub in a circular motion, applying enough pressure to remove the stain or grime without damaging the surface.
Use a degreaser
For surfaces with heavy grease build-up, a degreaser may be necessary. A degreaser is a cleaning product that breaks down and removes grease and oil. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and avoid using on surfaces that are not suitable for degreasers.
Steam cleaning
Steam cleaning is another effective way to remove stains and grime from commercial kitchen surfaces. Steam cleaners use high-pressure steam to loosen and dissolve grease and dirt. Steam cleaning is particularly effective for hard-to-reach areas and can be used on a variety of surfaces. However, it's important to know how to operate the machine to avoid damaging the surface.
Removing stains and grime from commercial kitchen surfaces can be easily done if the right tools and techniques are used. By using the correct cleaning products, you can ensure your commercial kitchen surfaces remain clean and hygienic.
