Importance of Kitchen Cleaning
This question is often raised when it comes to commercial kitchens, and the answer depends on the type of cleaning that is meant. There is a big difference between a standard clean that should be done every day and sometimes multiple times a day, to a full commercial clean, to an involved deep clean.
For all types, the main objective is to ensure hygiene is up to par, the venue is safe for staff and customers, and is compliant with food safety legislation. Food safety is covered by criminal law, and compliance requires staff, food, equipment and work environment cleanliness.
Deep cleaning is even more critical since the coronavirus pandemic, as is keeping commercial kitchens at peak hygiene, but it’s not always easy. Some kitchen areas can be hard to reach, and catering equipment can be challenging to clean. Often a specialised deep cleaning service is the best option to ensure complete kitchen cleanliness, so we recommend a more frequent deep cleaning, particularly quarterly or monthly, to keep ahead of hygiene procedures.
Are there regulations for kitchen cleaning?
There are, and laws relating to food safety can seem numerous and very complicated. The nutshell version is straightforward, however. Management must maintain cleanliness and hygiene in an establishment. A mandatory professional clean is required every six months, regardless of whether it is a restaurant, hotel, pub, school, shop, or hospital. Cleaning standards must be impeccable to ensure compliance with Health and Safety regulations.
Do you want to book a kitchen deep clean for your establishment?
A thorough cleaning regime will build and maintain hygienic, safe food preparation in your venue. While the legal obligation is a deep clean once every six months, as mentioned, we recommend staying ahead of the game and cleaning every three months. This more rigorous regime ensures a safe and healthy environment for customers and employees while keeping your venue to a high professional standard.
