Restaurants have daily cleaning routines that ensure kitchen activities run smoothly. The grease trap is one of those things kitchen staff can’t handle on their own. But it is imperative that grease trap cleaning for restaurants is done often and correctly. A Cambie Grease Cleaning in the Lower Mainland, specializes in providing top-quality, chemical-free restaurant grease trap cleaning. With over 15 years of experience, A Cambie knows what can happen if restaurants don’t properly maintain their grease traps.
Here are 3 reasons restaurants need to keep grease traps clean
Plumbing
1. An uncleaned grease trap can make sinks and drains to easily backup. The accumulation of food and grease in the tank will block the water flow and cause a backup that may result in further plumbing problems. Plumbing issues can also lead to a restaurant closure for essential maintenance work, which would result in a loss of profits.
Bacteria
2. Uncleaned grease traps are a breeding ground for bacteria. The accumulation of grease and food matter creates the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. This bacteria could possibly transfer to other areas of the restaurant causing health hazards. A Cambie knows that 85% of restaurant patrons will not return to an establishment if they find it dirty.
Smell
3. Grease buildup smells bad. The accumulation of grease, food matter, and thriving bacteria colonies results in a very noticeable side effect: the smell. The first thing a customer notices when entering a restaurant is the aroma. A dirty grease trap will detract from the pleasing smells of delicious food cooking, and may instead turn customers away because of a foul stench wafting towards them from the dirty grease trap.
A Cambie recommends restaurants get their grease traps cleaned every month or every three months at the latest. For more information on grease trap cleaning or the services offered in the Lower Mainland, contact A Cambie at 604-279-0501.
