Commercial kitchens should always have their tile and grout cleaned a minimum of 2 times a year and up to 4 times a year depending on severity of use. Cleaning the kitchen professionally will help in the following ways:
- Reduction of food caused bacteria making food, and kitchen atmosphere better for patrons, and employees as well.
- Having the floors professionally cleaned will help make sure all of the small food particles dropped during the cooking process and embedded into your tile and grout lines are extracted helping to prevent small animals from being attracted to the inside of your kitchen.
- Professional cleaning seen by your customers will help them get the understanding of how clean you like to keep the place making them put even more trust into you as a company then they already had from the years of great service.
- The health inspector will always think this is a plus if you show them 4 receipts from the previous year for heavy duty tile and grout cleaning.
- We can clean 10 times better then you ever will be able to in an 1/8th of the time so you can get right back to prepping the 8 hours of prep work you have for that day to get ready for the dinner service.
- Keeping up on tile and grout cleaning can expand the life of your tile where as if you don’t have them cleaned many times the tiles will pop causing the kitchen to look dingy, have more places to store bacteria, and causing hazards for your line cooks moving with 8 inch chef knives(I worked in a kitchen for 8 years popped tiles are not anything to joke with and can be just as dangerous as storing the razor edged plastic wrap on top of the microwave above the line for workers to drop and cut themselves with.)
Basically there is nothing bad about having your tile and grout cleaned that we can think of. Yes it does cost some money but its much cheaper then losing life time customers, or having a health inspector come and shut you down due to floor contamination. It also will help give you and your workers a sense of pride that their floors and kitchen are that clean! It should be in the same realm of having your hood system cleaning. We all know if they are neglected they will malfunction costing thousands of dollars not only in repair, but kitchen down time. The same thing happens with the floor in the kitchen if that has to be replaced!!!!
