Cleaning a greasy restaurant floor is not only physically demanding, it’s also often done ineffectively due to poor cleaning techniques. If left improperly attended, it can lead to residual grease build-up, which can be a hazard to both your crew members’ health and safety. To prevent this from happening, here are some tips you want to follow:
1. Clean your floor once or twice a day
The purpose of cleaning your restaurant floor once or twice a day is to loosen the build-up of gunk which can easily accumulate, even if you perform daily mopping. Your cleaning equipment should be able to do buffering on your floor easily as well as being compact and portable enough to clean hard-to-reach areas. In most cases, a wide portion of the grease and dirt are left hidden in the narrow areas which aren’t always accessible using a mop.
2. Use a squeegee
A squeegee is your friend when it comes to cleaning grease and dirt build-up on your restaurant floor. While mops help loosen and absorb dirt, a squeegee can easily remove the solid gunk that remained after mopping. Of course, you’ll need the help of a diluted cleaning fluid to soften the dirt first. However, a squeegee is capable of doing more things than a mop can.
3. Use a deep cleaning machine
A deep cleaning machine is a really helpful tool for cleaning your greasy floors. One particular example is the Duplex Lithium Evolve. This powerful, battery-powered 3-in-1 floor cleaner can effectively wash, scrub, and dry your floors in a single pass within a few minutes. The best part about the Duplex machine is that you don’t even need to use a chemical cleaner, mop, or even a scrubber in multiple uses to start cleaning. It basically has all the functionality of all three in one efficient and powerful cleaning tools.
4. Use mats
To make sure that everyone’s safety is ensured after every cleaning session, place anti-slip mats along the walking and standing areas. This makes everything safer as the mats help prevent slips and falls due to a slippery floor. Of course, you have to make sure that they are properly cleaned every day.
