Info: Commercial Cleaning, Sanitation and Disinfection, Re-Grouting, Grout Sealing
In this compact commercial kitchen, a challenging situation unfolded as the quarry tile floor became marred by extensive accumulations of grime, grease, oil, and mold. Moreover, the areas concealed behind the coolers harbored concerning deposits of food remnants and mold that required immediate removal and disinfection. The consequences of prolonged oil and grease buildup beneath the stoves were very evident, having eroded the sanded grout that was once in place. Adding to the complexity of the situation, small insects were discovered foraging on the food remnants beneath the appliances.
Our comprehensive restoration procedure began with the removal of food scraps, trash, and dust, enabling us to initiate the first-floor rinse. This initial rinse featured a potent combination of disinfectant chemicals and powerful degreasers. We then systematically relocated and repositioned large appliances and engaged industrial-strength machinery for a thorough cleaning. The wastewater was retracted, and this process was repeated multiple times to effectively eliminate the accumulation of many years. Once the floor was restored to a sanitary state, we undertook the crucial tasks of repairing missing grout and replacing damaged tiles. Every nook and cranny, including walls and crevices, received specialized treatments to safeguard against future insect infestations and mold growth. Finally, the process culminated in the sealing of the grout, which gives protection against staining, mold, and future degradation.
