Food Safety Depends on Cleanliness

In a busy commercial kitchen, it is amazing how easy it is for dirt and grease to build up with daily operations. These become breeding grounds for microbes that can cause foodborne illnesses, which you do not want to serve your clients. It is advised that the kitchen staff clean every nook and cranny of a kitchen everyday. This ritual is can be very difficult to maintain and puts added pressure to the staff, not to mention how it can be costly.

Clean Hoods and Exhaust

An overlooked factor in kitchen cleanliness are the hoods and exhausts. The circulation of air within the kitchen primarily depends on their efficiency. These are the lungs of the kitchens and it only makes sense that they should be kept clean and sanitary. Even the most dedicated and nimble kitchen staff cannot reach these areas. It is best to leave these to trained professional commercial kitchen cleaners like Five Star Hood.
