Grease and food particles can make their way onto the
floor, walls and ceiling over time. Your floor should be cleaned daily, while
the ceiling and walls can be cleaned on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. Here is
how to make those areas spotless.
Floors – Food and spills not only make your floor
dirty, but foot traffic also adds to the mess. When the day ends, give it a
deep cleaning. Start by vacuuming or sweeping the floor to remove dust and hard
dirt. Then, mop up your floor with a combination of warm water and either
vinegar or a heavy-duty cleaning solution.
While a machine helps cut down on time, a mop is still
your best choice because it allows you to access hard-to-reach spaces easily.
If you need to clean major grease spills, make sure to use a high-grade
degreaser instead of a regular cleaning solution.
Schedule floor deep cleaning from a professional
service and apply a pendulum test for the safety of the employees and workers.
Walls and ceiling – You should always wipe off the
occasional splatters, but make sure to scrub the walls and ceiling down
thoroughly on either a biweekly or monthly basis. Airborne steam and grease not
only leave a blemish, but they also can become sources of foul odors. With the
appropriate degreaser or cleaning solution, use a wash cloth or soft bristle
brush to scrub off the buildup.
