Running a successful restaurant, café, or catering business means spinning a dozen plates at once. Between managing staff, ordering inventory, and keeping customers happy, the last thing you want to worry about is a surprise visit from the food hygiene inspector.
Maintaining a 5-star rating is essential for your reputation, but spending hours scrubbing down the kitchen after a gruelling shift eats into your profits and exhausts your team. That is exactly why we put together this commercial kitchen cleaning guide. Achieving top-tier hygiene doesn’t require endless elbow grease; it requires commercial-strength chemicals that work instantly.
At GleamKing, we don’t just sell cleaning supplies. Our heavy-duty formulas are used on a daily basis by our sister companies, 1st Commercial Cleaning and OvenKing. Their professional teams rely on these exact 5L bulk products to deep-clean commercial extraction systems, professional kitchens, and high-volume catering setups across the country. If these chemicals can easily meet their rigorous professional standards, they will absolutely streamline your closing routine.
Here is how to equip your team with the right tools to clean faster, better, and more affordably.
Step 1: Obliterate Floor and Fryer Grease
Commercial fryers and non-slip safety floors trap grease like nothing else. Standard domestic cleaners simply smear this heavy oil around, creating a dangerous slip hazard for your kitchen staff.
To tackle the toughest industrial fat, our Heavy Duty Degreaser (5L) is an absolute must-have. Formulated specifically for commercial environments, this powerful alkaline solution cuts through thick, carbonized grease and oil instantly. Whether your team is boiling out the fryers or mopping the main line at midnight, this bulk degreaser dramatically reduces scrubbing time and leaves surfaces completely stripped of slick residues.
Step 2: Streamline Daily Wall and Prep Station Wipe-Downs
Throughout a busy service, sauces splatter on the walls and ingredients build up on stainless steel counters. You need a reliable, fast-acting spray to keep stations clean on the fly.
As a core part of our commercial kitchen cleaning guide, we highly recommend keeping spray bottles filled with our Multi Purpose Cleaner and Degreaser (5L). Buying this versatile chemical in a 5L bulk container allows you to dilute it perfectly for daily use, saving your business a fortune compared to buying pre-mixed supermarket sprays. It lifts sticky food residue effortlessly, leaving a fresh citrus scent that neutralizes harsh cooking odours.
Step 3: The 5-Star Sanitary Finish
Removing visible dirt is only half the job. To guarantee food safety and ace your environmental health inspection, every prep surface, cutting board, and high-touch door handle must be properly disinfected.
Finish your cleaning routine with our Surface Cleaner Sanitiser – SCSY12 (5L). This potent, food-safe formula is proven to be highly effective against bacteria, viruses (including coronaviruses), and fungi. Our 1st Commercial Cleaning technicians use this daily to ensure their clients’ kitchens are hyper-hygienic. A quick spray and wipe down at the end of the night gives you the ultimate peace of mind.
