What commercial kitchen deep cleaning actually involves

A commercial kitchen is the hardest room in any building to clean. Grease migrates everywhere, the work has to happen after service, and a missed surface can mean a failed health inspection — not just a complaint.

Commercial kitchen cleaning is the intensive back-of-house degreasing that keeps a working kitchen safe, compliant, and presentable beyond what nightly wiping can manage. Every service deposits grease on equipment, stainless steel, walls, floor grout, and drains. Left to build up, it hardens into both a fire risk and a public-health infraction. Standard janitorial products are not formulated for it — commercial kitchen degreasers, the right technique, and the time to do it properly are what set kitchen cleaning apart from any other commercial space.

We clean kitchens two ways, and most operators use both: recurring nightly back-of-house cleaning to stay DineSafe day to day, and a periodic deep degrease — monthly or quarterly — that resets the heavy buildup on equipment, walls, floors, and drains. We also handle one-time deep cleans for pre-inspection, post-renovation, seasonal resets, and new-location openings.

And we handle the exhaust system end to end. Our own crews clean the hood exterior and baffle filters on every deep clean, while the full NFPA 96 interior cleaning — ductwork, fan, and rooftop unit — is delivered through our certified hood-cleaning partner, complete with the fire-marshal certification your insurer requires. You get one managed program instead of juggling vendors. More on that below.

What a kitchen deep clean covers

The full back-of-house scope — every surface grease reaches.

Cooking equipment

Exterior degreasing of the cooking line and surrounding stainless.

  • Ranges, fryers, griddles, charbroilers
  • Ovens, salamanders, range exteriors
  • Stainless prep tables & shelving
  • Hood exterior & baffle filters

Floors, grout & drains

The grease that ends up underfoot — a DineSafe critical area.

  • Degreasing and scrubbing of quarry-tile floors
  • Grout-line deep scrub
  • Floor-drain cleaning and deodorizing
  • Slip-hazard removal

Walls & ceilings

Airborne grease films every surface above the cooking line.

  • Wall residue removal behind the line
  • Ceiling and vent-cover degreasing
  • Wall-mounted shelving and racks
  • Backsplash and tile detailing

Sanitation & documentation

Food-contact disinfection plus the paper trail inspectors expect.

  • DIN-registered, food-safe disinfectants
  • Correct dilution and contact times
  • Walk-in cooler & freezer (on request)
  • Written cleaning log every service

Hood & exhaust (NFPA 96): managed through our certified partner

Our own crews clean the hood exterior, baffle/grease filters, and grease-catch surfaces on every deep clean. The full NFPA 96 interior exhaust cleaning — ductwork, fan, and rooftop unit — is delivered through our certified hood-cleaning partner, who issues the fire-marshal certification document your commercial property insurance requires after every service.

Because NFPA 96 is a fire-code service, it has to be done by a certified contractor — and folding uncertified "hood cleaning" into a general contract would put your insurance at risk in the event of a kitchen fire. We manage the certified work for you on its proper schedule, so you get one accountable program and complete documentation instead of juggling a separate vendor.

Kitchens we clean

From a 12-seat QSR to a hotel banquet kitchen — the degreasing scope scales with your grease load.

Restaurants & QSR

Full-service kitchens and quick-service lines, from cafés to high-volume wok and charbroil operations across the GTA.

Hotels & banquet halls

Hotel kitchens, banquet and catering kitchens with surge volume around events — deep degreasing between functions.

Institutional & cafeteria

Corporate cafeterias, long-term care, and school and campus kitchens that run to a fixed daily schedule.

Commissary & ghost kitchens

Shared commissary and delivery-only ghost kitchens where multiple tenants share one high-throughput line.

Our deep-clean process

Five stages we run on a back-of-house deep degrease, after the line is cool and the kitchen is empty.

1

Prep & protect

Cool-down confirmed, food and small wares cleared or covered, electrical and pilot points protected before any degreaser is applied.

2

Apply & dwell

Industrial food-safe degreaser applied to equipment, walls, and floors and given the dwell time it needs to break down hardened grease.

3

Agitate & lift

Hand-scrubbing and, where appropriate, steam to lift grease and carbon from surfaces, grout lines, and equipment seams.

4

Rinse & sanitize

Surfaces rinsed, drains flushed, and all food-contact surfaces sanitized with DIN-registered product at the correct contact time.

5

Log & verify

A written cleaning log — date, areas, products, technician — is completed and left on site as your inspection and insurance trail.

Compliance & food safety

The standard your kitchen is held to — and how our cleaning meets it.

Built around public-health inspection

Inspection-ready scope: Toronto kitchens fall under DineSafe, Peel Region (Mississauga, Brampton) under Peel Public Health, and York Region (Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill) under York Region Public Health. All three assess the same back-of-house fundamentals — equipment, floor drains, surfaces, and sanitation. Our deep-clean scope is built around exactly what those inspectors check.

Food-safe products only: Health Canada DIN-registered degreasers and sanitizers, used at the correct dilution and contact time, leaving no residue on food-contact surfaces.

Documentation as standard: a written cleaning log after every service — date, areas cleaned, products used, and the technician's name — so you can demonstrate ongoing compliance rather than scrambling before an inspection.

Fully covered: WSIB coverage and $5M general liability insurance on every job, available on request before work begins.

Commercial kitchen cleaning FAQs

Questions GTA kitchen operators ask most often.

What is included in a commercial kitchen deep clean?
A commercial kitchen deep clean covers the full back-of-house: degreasing of cooking equipment exteriors (ranges, fryers, griddles, ovens, salamanders), stainless steel surfaces, prep tables, shelving, hood exteriors and baffle filters, wall and ceiling residue above the cooking line, floor degreasing, grout scrubbing, and floor-drain cleaning. We also disinfect food-contact surfaces with Health Canada DIN-registered products and provide a written cleaning log. Full NFPA 96 hood-and-duct interior cleaning is delivered through our certified hood-cleaning partner and scheduled as part of your program (see below).
Do you clean kitchen exhaust hoods and ductwork (NFPA 96)?
Yes. Our own crews clean the hood exterior, baffle/grease filters, and grease-catch surfaces on every deep clean, and the full NFPA 96 interior exhaust cleaning — ductwork, fan, and rooftop unit — is delivered through our certified hood-cleaning partner. Because NFPA 96 is a fire-code service, it must be performed by a certified contractor who issues the fire-marshal certification document your commercial property insurance requires after every service — and that is exactly what you receive. We manage the whole system as one program so you are not coordinating a separate vendor.
How is this different from nightly restaurant cleaning?
Nightly restaurant cleaning is routine maintenance — wiping down, sweeping, mopping, restrooms, and dining room — to keep the space presentable day to day. A commercial kitchen deep clean is an intensive periodic reset: heavy degreasing of equipment, walls, floors and drains that builds up over weeks of cooking, using industrial degreasers and more time. Many kitchens run both: nightly cleaning to stay DineSafe, plus a monthly or quarterly deep degrease. We offer both.
How much does commercial kitchen cleaning cost in the GTA?
A one-time commercial kitchen deep clean in the GTA typically starts around $499 for a small QSR kitchen and rises with size, grease load, and cuisine type. Recurring nightly back-of-house kitchen cleaning starts at about $799/month. Cuisine matters: high-grease wok, Korean BBQ, and tandoor kitchens carry a premium. All pricing is confirmed after a free on-site walkthrough.
How often should a commercial kitchen be deep cleaned?
Back-of-house deep degreasing is typically needed monthly to quarterly depending on cooking volume and cuisine — high-grease kitchens (wok, deep-fry, charbroil) lean monthly, while lower-volume kitchens can go quarterly. This is on top of nightly cleaning. Hood-and-duct NFPA 96 cleaning runs on its own schedule (monthly for solid fuel, quarterly for high-volume, semi-annually for standard) and is delivered through our certified hood-cleaning partner as part of your program.
Do you work overnight or around service hours?
Yes. Commercial kitchen deep cleaning is almost always done after the last service and before morning prep — typically between midnight and 6 a.m. — so cooking lines are cool and the space is empty. We schedule around your hours, and for one-time resets we can often work around a planned closure or slow day.
Are your products food-safe and DineSafe compliant?
Yes. We use Health Canada DIN-registered, food-safe degreasers and sanitizers with the correct dilution and contact times, and we leave no residue on food-contact surfaces. Our scope covers the areas DineSafe, Peel Region, and York Region public-health inspectors assess, and we provide written cleaning logs after every service as your documentation trail.
