Cleaning standards in restaurants

Restaurant cleaning standards indicate that hoods, grease removal devices, fans, ducts and other fixtures should be cleaned bare metal at frequent intervals before surfaces become contaminated with grease or oil.

After the exhaust system has been cleaned to bare metal, it should not be coated with dust or any other substance. The entire exhaust system must be inspected by a qualified, qualified and certified company or persons acceptable to the competent authority.

Frequency: Systems used for solid fuel cooking operations require monthly cleaning.

Systems used for high-volume cooking operations, such as 24-hour cooking, wok cooking or patent leather cooking, require a quarterly cleaning frequency.

The systems used for medium-volume cooking operations require semi-annual cleaning.

The systems used for low-volume cooking operations require annual cleaning.

Bare Metal Cleaning: Bare metal cleaning does not mean removing paint from the surface of an exhaust system but only removing all accumulated grease.

Inspection: Keep in mind that the restaurant will receive an inspection, during which contamination is controlled with grease vapor deposits.

The restaurant requires that the personnel of a company or qualified, qualified and certified persons take care of the cleaning of the exhaust system, so it is important that you are a certified professional.

In fact, once you have finished the cleaning, you must hand in the cleaning certificate indicating the date of the cleaning and the name of your company, since it is the one that offered the service and you will also indicate the areas that were not cleaned.

The rules state that restaurants must maintain a clean, hygienic environment for the health and safety of employees and customers. All aspects of the facility should be cleaned properly to ensure safe preparation and handling of food.

A deep, regular cleaning with soap and water and a liquid bleach will help eliminate dirt buildup on the tiles.
