How to Keep Your Commercial Kitchen Clean

Cleaning is a vital part of the food business.
The safety and health of your employees and
patrons depend upon the cleanliness of your
facility and if you are in the food and beverage
industry then it is important to have a
thoroughly cleaned kitchen daily. A clean and
bright kitchen eliminates threats like bacteria
and dirt. At Gateway Services, we provide the
finest commercial kitchen cleaning services on an
annual basis. With an experience of 20 years, we
have a professional and reliable team who makes
sure your kitchen is spick and span always. Here
are some ways from our experts on how you can
keep your kitchen clean daily by cleaning the
following using the correct way

The kitchen sink is a focal point and hotbed of
germs. This is because it is continuously exposed
to dirt and kitchen waste. Sinks need to be
cleaned regularly with a dual purpose cleaner and
disinfectant between uses and at various times
throughout the day where there is frequent use.
Heavy grease and oil can clog kitchen sinks so
restaurants should keep these deposits under
control. Also if the drains and piping are
cleaned regularly, it improves the water quality
downstream, thus assisting in breaking down of
the waste effectively and letting the pipe do its
work efficiently.

If your tableware is coming out of the dishwasher
with visible marks and stains even after the
filter has been cleaned, then maybe your
dishwasher itself needs cleaning. Our experts
recommend re-washing the dishes, cutlery and
similar utensils before placing them in the
dishwasher. Doing this would help in removing the
tougher, baked-on stains before they get a
regular clean. In addition to this, the leftover
food on your dishes can clog the filter and
strongly affect the dishwashers performance.
Also, the hard water makes it difficult for your
dishwasher to run effectively and therefore our
experts recommend using softening salts.

Ovens need to be cleaned weekly if they havent
given cleaning indication before that. The best
indication that is given by the oven is when it
starts to smoke. The use of an approved cleaning
solution is highly recommended. Our experts
stringently believe in carefully using the safety
precautions set by the oven manufacturer and the
cleaning solution company. While cleaning your
oven, you need to remove the shelves and soak
them. Soaking the shelves in a basin filled with
warm water and an industrial-strength liquid can
clean the shelves thoroughly. Inside the oven,
you can use something as blunt as a spoon to
remove the residue and scrap the stains. Post
then a powerful oven cleaner will do the needful
giving you the finest results so you can enjoy a
dry, fresh and smokeless oven.

According to our experts, the first thing that
needs to be done before starting the fridge
cleaning is to check if any particular company
procedures must be followed. Once you have
emptied the fridge, check for spillages and
debris that can be removed with a non-abrasive
sponge. You can remove the shelves and clean them
in the washbasin with warm water. After cleaning
the fridge with a multi-purpose cleaner, you can
switch on the fridge and clean the exterior with
a damp cloth. The last step is to clean and
disinfect the fridge door with a disinfectant or
antibacterial wipes and allow it to air dry.

One of the most commonplaces for bacteria and
germs to live on is the hard surfaces in your
kitchen. The cracks on the surface can trap food
and excess water making it the perfect
environment for bacteria to live and breed. Our
experts from Gateway Services, recommend using a
deep cleansing, sanitizing spray to clean your
surfaces and for a streak-free finish, we prefer
allowing the surface to dry naturally in the air.
Also, remember after cleaning kitchen surfaces,
dishcloths should be laundered at a high
temperature of at least 60 degrees.
