As a business owner, you know how important it is to keep your commercial kitchen tidy. Managing a clean and hygienic kitchen isn’t beneficial, it’s essential to health and safety. Although regular manual cleaning is important, is it often not enough to keep your kitchen safe and clean. In this article, we will explore three reasons why you should have your commercial kitchen professionally deep-cleaned regularly.
1. It reduces the risk of mold
There is no fungus that thrives in moist, fetid conditions quite as well as mold does. If areas of your kitchen have not been deep cleaned for a while, such as the areas above high windows or fridge walk-ins, you may find these spaces are harbouring the onset of an outbreak.
Mold is extremely problematic. It can cause asthma, skin rashes and other health risks to both frequent and temporary users of its newfound habitat. Once it has appeared, it is much harder to get rid of, so it’s better to stay on top of cleaning tasks to prevent it from claiming your business’s space, contaminating your food and harming your employees.
2. It decreases the chance of an accident
Sometimes, in the midst of a busy service, your employees may forget to clean up spilt grease on the floor and hob or do so incorrectly without using the proper cleaning fluids. Over time, these hazards can build up, resulting in a fire risk or causing someone to slip and hurt themselves.
Hiring professional cleaners to remove any build-up of grease and spillages is your responsibility, and it should not be taken lightly. The last thing you want is to be in charge of an unsafe workplace.
3. It protects your kitchen from foodborne illnesses
Foodborne illnesses can be extremely harmful and unpleasant. Norovirus, for example, can cause violent spells of vomiting which can leave someone feeling weak and shivery – and not all forms of cleaning work on this virus.
By leaving your commercial kitchen in an unclean state, you may be causing your customers to catch food poisoning or another illness and they may hold you liable for their symptoms. You could also receive negative reviews and bad food hygiene ratings.
