If you own a restaurant, bakery, café or any other business, proper maintenance of your kitchens is essential. Not only does it extend the life of the equipment, but it also improves efficiency and safety in your business.
If you are also one of those who chose to leave your kitchen visible to customers, proper cleaning will also be a bonus in the perception of your brand.
In order to maintain hygiene, quantity is good, but so is quality. Avoid the use of abrasive materials. Do not use materials of this type, or metal instruments to remove residues adhered to surfaces. You can opt for wet and dry cloths to clean visible areas.
Modern kitchens have a lot of electronic equipment, so their care must also be taken into account. Avoid applying water directly to the electronic control boards. Humidity can damage them.
The frequency of cleaning is undoubtedly a task that should be agreed upon between you and your employees, but it is always advisable to have a daily and a weekly cleaning. In the daily cleaning, only the basics will be washed, while the weekly cleaning can be more thorough, including aspects such as:
- Manually or mechanically remove residues adhering to surfaces.
- Use chemical and organic compounds to dissolve residues and grease accumulated during cooking.
Proper maintenance not only prolongs the life of your equipment, but also ensures the quality and safety of the food you prepare.
In this sense, advice and consultation with manufacturers or companies specializing in the assembly of equipment, such as GEM, are also often a way to improve maintenance.
