Maintaining a Safe Commercial Kitchen Environment

Commercial Kitchen Useful tips on how to maintain a good cleaning schedule for a Commercial Kitchen

Commercial kitchen cleaning is a very important task, and it requires great detail. It is recommended for a professional cleaning company to help design and manage an adequate kitchen cleaning culture for commercial spaces. A company like SERVPRO of Citrus Height/Roseville and Carmichael offers the best services and guidelines to maintain a healthy commercial kitchen cleaning habit. 

Should you be willing and able to handle the cleaning yourself, you can keep your commercial kitchen clean by adhering to equipment guidelines and instructions. Keep track of equipment warranties and understand the aspects that need professional handling.

Useful tips on how to maintain a good cleaning schedule:

Annual Cleaning

Things such as your ovens, grills, fire suppression system, and fire extinguisher are some of the most useful kitchen equipment that should be cleaned and/or tested yearly. Cleaning and testing your equipment annually keeps your equipment in good shape, allowing them to function effectively. Regular cleaning practices allow you to be aware of each of the equipment's warranty lapses, and it helps you make good business decisions in keeping your commercial kitchen safe.

Biennial Cleaning

Cleaning should be carried out at least twice a year for the exhaust hood of your commercial kitchen. It is best to read the manual of your kitchen equipment so that you will know the best cleaning procedures to follow. Pay close attention to the cleaning procedures recommended because of the grease effects arising from continuous use. Remove any grease to prevent fire hazards on the property.

Monthly Cleaning

  • Grease build-up is a fire hazard. It is, therefore, necessary to prevent its build-up behind ovens, fryers, and ranges.
  • Prevent heavy frosting and bacteria issues in your ice machine and freezers.
  • Calibrate free-standing oven and freezer thermometer.
  • Wash your ceilings and kitchen walls.

Weekly Cleaning

Empty, wash and sanitize walk-in coolers, ovens and delete the faucet and sinks.

Daily Cleaning

  • Change the foil lining on the grill, range, and flattops to remove particles and grease.
  • Wash can openers and meat slicers—consider polishing to avoid rust.
  • Sweep and mop the floor.
  • Empty sanitizing buckets
  • Clean kitchen rags, aprons, and coats into the laundry

How to Remove Smoke Odor From My Business After a Fire

Building with open windows Let fresh air drive the intense smoke odor out of the building first.

Smoke can leave a horrible smell on your property even after it's been put out. No one will be comfortable with the offensive, choky smoke odor of burnt properties. Getting rid of the smoke odor is a challenging task. When fire smoke invades a property, the smoke particles are absorbed by different surfaces, which requires a lot of effort to remove the smoke odor. The cleaning process could be tedious and frustrating if you’re not an expert at it.

Below are steps on how to remove smoke odor from your business after a fire.

First, you need to open all doors and windows to allow for proper ventilation. Let fresh air drive the intense smoke odor out of the building first. You could support with fans and point them at strategic places close to doors and windows to drive out the smoke odor.

Remove all fabrics like furniture covers, carpets, furniture covers, curtains, duvets, blankets, and have them washed or dry cleaned.

Wash all surfaces such as cabinets, shelves, doors, and windows thoroughly with soap, disinfectant, and warm water.

Use baking soda to clean carpets and upholstery. Spray the baking soda on upholstery and let it stay for several hours to allow the soda to absorb the smoke odor before using a vacuum machine with a HEPA filter on the surface. Steam cleaning is a very effective method of smoke odor removal. However, it is a delicate method that, if not carefully done, could damage the material. Cleaning upholstery and carpets need to be done carefully to eradicate all smoke odor. You may consider getting a professional's help, like SERVPRO of Citrus Heights/Roseville and Carmichael.

Many businesses don’t think about their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC) until they break. When an HVAC system breaks it can be costly. There is a lot of money to be saved if regular maintenance is taken care of at the facility. 

At least, once a year it is ideal to hire a professional to inspect your HVAC system. This should be done every spring and fall. Why spring and fall? You will need your HVAC system working optimally for the summer months and the winter months. Once inspected, if maintenance is needed, do not put it off.

How to prolong the life of your HVAC System: 

  1. Schedule two tune-ups every year – Routine maintenance is important. Your HVAC system needs to be inspected and cleaned every year. Twice a year, spring and fall are ideal. 
  2. Change filters regularly – Have filters checked quarterly. If the filters are found dirty, have them replaced.
  3. Check air conditioner condensers – After a storm have any air conditioner condensers checked. Condensers are strong and sturdy. However, after a hail or windstorm, condensers can easily become damaged. Keep condensers clear of leaves, and weeds.
  4. Upgrade the insulation – Have your facilities insulation checked. Your HVAC system will work longer if it runs less. The better insulated the building is the less you will need to use the heating or air conditioning.
  5. Ease the burden to your system – Come winter, open blinds and shades to let some heat in. This will allow the company to use less of the heater. As for summer months, invest in reflective shades that will block out the heat from the sun, allowing you to have the thermostat kick on only as needed to keep the building cool.

Planning Can Lessen Risks at Your Business | SERVPRO® of Citrus Heights/Roseville

preparedness and readiness sayings in bold lettering with red background Having a disaster plan in place is crucial for any business. SERVPRO of Citrus Heights/Roseville is your full-service commercial restoration company.

Being wise about where you invest your time and resources is one of the most important parts of being a business owner. Though it might not seem like a high priority, planning for a natural disaster is one of the best time investments business owners can make.

The frequency of natural disasters continues to rise, and though certain areas are more susceptible than others, there is nowhere that is immune. Knowing what the risk factors are for disasters in your geographic area, formulating a plan and preparing for the aftermath are all ways to protect your business and ensure you can reopen quickly after the situation has passed.

Planning for a Disaster for Your Business

1. Double-Check Your Insurance
Not all insurance coverage is created the same, and there are many insurance policies that are not sufficient for the kind of severe damage that a natural disaster can cause. Many floods and other catastrophic events can leave business owners out of luck when it comes to gaining compensation for their damage, which is why it is important to understand what is included in your policy and where you may want to consider adding business coverage for certain damages.

2. Create Your Action Plan
Having a plan for what you will do the moment a natural disaster is set to strike is extremely important, as evacuation time is often limited. Be sure to take note of anything around the building that will need to be addressed before leaving to mitigate damage, and keep emergency supplies handy. It is also best to know the local evacuation routes and shelter locations as well.

3. Rehearse Drills and Prepare Staff
Not only does helping your staff prepare for a disaster make everyone feel more safe and comfortable in their work environment, but it also can help lessen your liability as a business owner. Communicate the natural disaster protocol with them and perform drills for workplace emergencies frequently so it is clear what everyone’s roles are in a dangerous scenario.

4. Choose a Restoration Company to Work With
When your business is damaged by a natural disaster, the most important thing to do is get your building restored so you can resume operations quickly and begin to recover from your losses. By researching and selecting a restoration company in advance, business owners can know exactly who to call when a disaster occurs and get the process started immediately.

If you need to pick a commercial restoration company that’s right for you, call us today! We can tell you all about what sets our process apart.

4 Crucial Ways Water Damage Can Impact Your Business

10/1/2019 (Permalink)

Water Damage Affecting Multiple Commercial Buildings Multiple commercial buildings affected by flooding

Water damage, for commercial properties, can pose many serious threats, indirectly or directly. It is essential to act fast in this situation, as numerous issues can arise when flood or water damage occurs at the worksite. Many businesses may never fully recover from the outcomes of a flood. Insurance will usually cover a bulk of the cost. However, some of these expenses cannot be reclaimed. Top it off; many lack the proper coverage in these instances.   

4 Effects of Water Damage to Commercial Buildings 

  1. Loss of Inventory and Assets

Flooding can cause considerable inventory and asset loss. Even if you are relatively safe from a natural disaster, the unexpected could happen, let it be a pipe burst, you name it. Restaurants may have to throw out unusable food. Retailers may have to toss destroyed goods that are no longer resalable. Equipment needed for service companies can be destroyed, causing production to come to a halt. These are just a few examples in which inventory loss can drastically affect the facility. 

  1. Business Closure 

In many cases, when water damage presents itself, a building can remain open. Setting up a temporary place to complete work may help keep operations open while the process of mitigation occurs. In some cases, the organization must close altogether. As an example, a restaurant or retailer may need to shut the doors for a while, drastically causing loss of revenue and customers shopping or dining elsewhere.  

Wages and bills still must be paid, with no cash flow coming in, this can cause complete closure if funds get depleted quickly. Many smaller establishments cannot survive a loss to this magnitude unless prepared. 

  1. Power and Data Loss

Loss of data and power will affect you a great deal. Electricity and phone lines are usually restored promptly. The chief concern here is computers, servers, and data. We rely heavily upon both to run our day to day operations. It is recommended to keep a backup source of power as a contingency plan until help arrives. It is a great idea to back up data on the cloud as well, do not rely on local copies of your data. If all your data is wiped clean, where do you go from there? 

  1. Long Term Effects

The time it takes to restore your building and to get your establishment back in shape can be a daunting task. Without the right tools or the efficiency of a qualified team, this can take a very long time and can exceed the expected cost budgeted for emergency occurrences.  

Potential issues with mold and mildew can occur and are dependent upon the length of time the moisture was present, equipment used, and the knowledge of the staff. Hiring untrained personal for your mitigation needs can result in high costs and can lead to the need to renovate if not treated on time or accurately.

Be Prepared

According to research, 50% of corporations close after a disaster. Of the ones that do survive, most of them had a preparedness plan ahead of time. Pre-planning is vital and can save you time and money. Not only can you save, but being prepared for these types of misfortunes speaks trust to your clients and employees in the event a catastrophe arises.

Carbon Monoxide in Your Business: Silent Killer

2/21/2019 (Permalink)

Carbon Monoxide is an invisible and odorless gas that is released when fuel sources do not burn completely. The sources of fuel can be oil, propane, gasoline, and even wood.  Even gas stovetops in your restaurant can be a source of CO if not used properly.  It can kill a person within minutes.

Carbon monoxide displaces the oxygen in the blood and deprives your vital organs of oxygen. Not having the proper detection system in place can put your employees at risk of death.

Below are some tips to prevent carbon monoxide leaks.

Read the manufacturers’ safety and operating guidelines of the equipment used.

Keep your fuel-burning appliances and engines properly ventilated.

Educate your employees on proper fuel use. Also educate them about the hazards and symptoms of CO exposure.

Do not use fuel-powered equipment indoors. Open doors and windows may not provide the adequate ventilation.

Check that batteries are working in detectors and change at least twice a year.

Your business should have CO detectors or alarm systems in place in the case of CO buildup. Have one of our experts at SERVPRO of Citrus Heights/Roseville perform an inspection to see how well your business holds up to CO detection standards.

Steps for Commercial Fire Restoration

4/23/2018 (Permalink)

Each fire is different, and every commercial property requires its own specific approach, but the following is the general process we follow in a typical fire damage restoration situation:

Emergency response. SERVPRO of Citrus Heights/Roseville offers 24/7 emergency response. You can call us any time and day. When you make your call to us, the restoration process begins. Our customer service representative will ask the right questions so that we can respond quickly and bring along the right resources and equipment. We want to be there as soon as possible to ensure no further damage occurs.

Inspection and assessment. We first ensure that the building is safe to enter. A building after a fire may look safe but it may be prone to collapse. We inspect the impacted area and adjoining rooms to find out the extent of the soot, smoke and other fire damage, then we can develop our plan of action.

Sealing the structure. Preventing further damage is essential, so we take immediate action to board up broken windows, shore up damaged walls and put tarps over damaged sections of the roof.

Water removal. When water damage is present, we immediately start water removal. Dehumidifiers and air movers are used to get all the water from your home and complete the drying process.

Surface soot and smoke removal. Using special equipment and time-tested techniques, we get rid of soot and smoke from the ceiling, all walls and other hard surfaces.

Cleaning and disinfecting. Restorable items require cleaning and sanitizing. A variety of cleaning products and techniques are used to accomplish this as appropriate. This process includes odor removal using foggers and industrial-strength air scrubbers.

Restoration. Getting things back to normal is the final step in the process. This can involve small repairs, drywall replacement, new carpet installation, painting and more. Major construction may sometimes also be required.

Mitigating Commercial Flood Damage in Roseville Garden Supply Shops

4/21/2017 (Permalink)

When SERVPRO technicians mitigate flooding disasters, we make sure that the moisture level is reduced and that sanitary conditions are also restored.

When Your Commercial Property Suffers Flood Damage, SERVPRO Will Be There To Help


Flooding can affect even those businesses that sell products that are dependent on water to ensure many products are viable. Bulbs and seeds do not need to be soaked for them to begin sprouting. Increased moisture can become trapped inside packaging and trigger germination soon after flooding commences.

In Roseville, flood damage can happen from external sources, requiring that floodwater residue be removed and sanitation ensue after, or clean water can also be the source of water woes. In garden shops, however, fertilizers and other chemicals used in gardening can turn water from Category 1, which is relatively clean, to Category 3, which is considered to be contaminated with a high risk to people.

When SERVPRO technicians mitigate flooding disasters, we make sure that the moisture level is reduced and that sanitary conditions are also restored. To complete this, we remove standing water and work toward smaller levels of moisture-elimination as quickly as possible.

We would like to start at the humidity level, but this is impossible because moisture travels from wet areas to dry areas. Because equilibrium can never be achieved when there is a source of moisture, we must eliminate from largest to smallest – from standing water to puddles, then on to wet areas, and eventually from dampness to higher humidity.

Sanitizing everything includes cleaning every contaminated surface and also the air. The air must be cleaned, so that not only is breathing pleasant but also safe. Contaminants produce appalling odors for a reason - they are not safe to breathe in, especially on a regular or continuous basis. This is true for garden shops even when the water that created the disaster is from a pipe or other heavy water leak.

While there is no possible way to un-sprout bulbs or seeds, we can set these items aside so that you can reduce your loss as much as possible by selling them, or using them another way by donating them to a local non-profit. We may have IICRC certifications in Applied Structural Drying (ASD) and Water Damage Restoration (WRT), but we are also experienced in the disasters that can affect any business, and we can help you solve the problems that come with these disasters.


Locally Owned Company with National Resources


When your garden supply shop has experienced flooding that threatens to wash your business away, call us, SERVPRO of Citrus Heights / Roseville, at (916) 966-2601. Emergencies and disasters have no off-hours, so we never close, making us always available, even on holidays.

Fire Damage Restoration Services Available For Businesses In Roseville

Protect Your Place of Business in Roseville with Fire Extinguishers

SERVPRO Works Hard to Get Your Business Reopened After a Fire

Fire engulfs an automotive supply shop, destroying inventory consisting of mainly shocks, struts, starters, alternators, and batteries. The fire ignited due to a chemical container failure affecting surrounding items.
 
You may think that fire damage like this put this Roseville shop out of business, but you'd be wrong. Replacing inventory is relatively easy, the hard decision here is locating a quality company to perform the services you need to restore the structure of your building. There are several unique challenges faced during different fire situations, and we have experience dealing with all of them. SERVPRO highly recommends to keep fire extinguishers handy and available throughout your establishment.
 
SERVPRO technicians overcome various cleaning challenges, daily. A burning building consists of several complex reactions between different elements. We learn that fire damage presents different cleaning and restoration situations that depend greatly on how these different elements interact during the progress of a fire. When dealing with the removal of smoke residues, we consider several factors.
 
Type - More porous surfaces allow particles and odors to penetrate further and are harder to clean. Non-porous surfaces such as those covered in enamel paint are easier to clean than a flat latex paint would be. While synthetic fibers attract more residue than natural fibers, synthetics are easier to clean.
 
Age - As time progresses, old paint, fabrics, and carpeting become more porous, and adhesion to surfaces become weaker, making old surfaces harder to clean.
 
Heat - Generally, hotter fires make surfaces expand, allowing residue and odors to penetrate more efficiently. While heat also chars materials or melts the finish on a surface, making refinishing required to restore the surface properly.
 
Moisture - The right conditions help residues set faster and permanently stain surfaces. Fire suppression systems and Firefighting efforts, along with damp weather and normal condensation on various surfaces combine with smoke residues, causing surfaces to become discolored.
 
Material - Different materials produce different kinds of residues. Synthetic materials such as plastics and rubber create a wet, smeary residue that stains surfaces. Wood and other natural materials leave behind a dry residue that is easier to clean.
 
Air Pressure - As the temperature of fire increases, air expands, creating pressure systems that force smoke and soot into cracks and crevices.
 
Impingement - During a fire, the surrounding air becomes hotter, causing increased movement. This fast moving air collides with surfaces throughout the structure, causing residues to collide with vertical surfaces, leaving behind more difficult stains.
 
With knowledge of these different factors that cause changes during a fire event, SERVPRO technicians work hard to deliver the services you need to restore your business to a quality pre-loss condition.

Commercial Water Damage Is Manageable In Citrus Heights

Commercial water damage can be devastating. Call SERVPRO quickly to get back to business!

SERVPRO Technicians are the Only Crew that you Need to Get Back to Business

You are all set, the building that you purchased for your new store front looks fantastic, and with a few final touches, you will be ready to move in on Tuesday. It is getting very exciting now; you are telling all of your friends and announcing everything to the media, or social media depending on the depth of your advertising budget. The phone rings and your stomach sinks and you get a feeling that something is wrong. On the other end, it is someone from your office, they tell you that the pressure test for your new suppression system that you had installed had a little mishap, your regular maintenance crew does not know what to do or how much damage was done in total.
 
Luckily our professionally trained commercial water damage technicians in Citrus Heights are only a phone call away. We can be at your office within four hours and get started right away inspecting and assess the damage to your property.
 
You make the call, and SERVPRO technicians arrive at your property and determine that the extent of harm is limited to a single sprinkler in an upstairs office. Even though the sprinkler was only on for a few seconds before your maintenance crew realized it was happening and turned it off to prevent further damage, the water still had a chance to drip into one of the new fancy changing rooms you had installed downstairs.
 
Our SERVPRO personnel goes right to work; we move all of the items found in the upstairs office to a safe location outside where they can dry and go to work removing any excess water. Next, we use specialized equipment and dehumidifiers to remove any remaining moisture hidden throughout the space. Including the moisture that slipped through the small seams that you cannot see that lead to the changing room below.
 
Now that we have the water under control and our SERVPRO technicians have begun the drying process, all secondary damage has stopped. Once it is all dry, we can repaint and repair any of the damaged areas. You will not need to call any other companies to perform the repairs; we have expertly trained staff that can do it all.
 
The entire restoration process that we implement to handle accidents like the ones described here only take a few days to fix, not weeks. We will have you back on track in no time and prevent further delays to the opening of your shop.
 
Our expertly trained staff at SERVPRO of Citrus Heights - Roseville is here when you need us. Put our training to the test anytime - (916) 966-2601
